Send us a Text Message.>>>> Get your copy of the LET GO E-Book! On this Minisode, Victoria explains Radical Self-Care.  Sometimes, self-care is seen as a bonus (like a bubble bath) instead of an essential life skill. It is important for us to take care of all of our "selves". It is not selfish to focus on filling our own cup. In fact, it helps us build up an overflow. That way, we can give help to others without becoming resentful or burnt out. One way to help fill our cup is to practice the art of affirmations. Affirmations are less effective when they are about who you want to be. Move the focus to how you want to feel instead. Stay tuned to the very end for examples of simple and effective affirmations you can add to your radical self-care toolbox. Support the Show.Thank you for listening!Interested in sharing one of your regrets?

Send us a Text Message.On this episode, we welcome special guest Jyoti Dhanota (a.k.a. Geet- full bio below the episode description). During our check-in, everyone is feeling pretty upbeat and enjoying some much-needed sunnier weather.  We also have a laugh about how confusing  it is to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit and vice-versa. For the Causes for Applause, Shadoe is happy about upcoming alone time, Geet had a wonderful meditation class earlier in the week, and Victoria celebrates life-long learning. To skip the check-in; tune in at 15:57Shadoe then opens up about a bad habit she has picked up, and that is allowing nostalgia to put her in a bad mood. For example, when she is missing her old neighbourhood, she downplays the benefits of her current neighbourhood, and gets into that self-doubt place. Geet then has a helpful tool to use here - and that is setting a timer for "Worry Time", or, in Shadoe's case "Nostalgia Time".  Then, Geet opens up about a powerful moment that happened the day before we recorded the podcast - she deleted her latest book! And, instead of that feeling scary, it felt freeing.  As she says in the episode "I felt like it's gone, but I didn't feel empty."We then have a fruitful discussion about family expectations and the challenges we face when turning certain ages. Funnily enough, it's not the number that matters, but, how we feel about those numbers throughout our lives.    Jyoti's Bio Jyoti Dhanota, also known by her preferred professional pseudonym "Geet," is a prolific self-published author renowned for her extensive literary portfolio, comprising 11 captivating books available on reputable platforms such as Amazon. Specializing in the genre of fictional romance, Geet fearlessly tackles taboo subjects prevalent in South Asian communities, thereby contributing to a more inclusive and diverse literary landscape. Her dedication extends beyond storytelling, as she actively seeks to address the underrepresentation of Punjabi culture within literature, fostering a more authentic and representative narrative.For those interested in engaging further with Geet's work and insights, she maintains a strong presence on prominent social media platforms, including Instagram and TikTok, under the handle @GeetisBooked.  Additionally, comprehensive information about her background, publications, and upcoming projects can be found on her professional profile hosted at Geetwrites.carrd.co.

Send us a Text Message.In this episode, we start with the Joy of Mini-Weiner dogs!! We also discuss that great feeling of not needing to minimize the things that bring us joy. (eg. Victoria is a Proud Health Nerd and loves her new temu products!) To skip the check-in and just listen to the regrets, skip to 11:47Victoria opens up about how she is feeling regarding a keloid scar she has from abdominal surgery two years ago. Interestingly enough; the shame she has about the scar is very similar to the shame she felt about needing the surgery in the first place. She recognizes that there is a pattern to it - advocating for herself a lot and then pulling away in hopes to not bother anyone.  Check out s1, E6: COWORKERS for more about Victoria's Fibroid surgery.  During the feedback session, Shadoe and Victoria talk about the pressure of being a "Good Patient" and not advocating for yourself. It is so much easier to advocate on the behalf of others!  Shadoe then shares Part 3 of her regret "not accepting help for things she should know how to do".  Part 1 was her job title; Part 2 was keeping a tidy home; and, today, Part 3 is: sticking to a fitness routine.  Regular listeners may remember the BEING NICER TO MYSELF episode from season 2 when Shadoe shared that she regrets using exercise as a punishment. It turns out, that this motivation is still really difficult to 'get over', and, keeps her fearful.  As always, we end our episode with three soothing breaths to let go! Support the Show.Thank you for listening!Interested in sharing one of your regrets?

But, her Cause For Applause is that she is getting better!  Victoria is in much better spirits and her Cause For Applause is Ben and James from Tori's Bakeshop. One day, Shadoe and Victoria will visit this cafe together and both drink Heavenly Cream tea.  To skip the check-in, please jump to 9:46Shadoe continues her 3-part series of releasing regrets asking for help on the things she should know how to do.  Last week it was her job title, this week it is keeping her house tidy. Victoria then gives great feedback and asks important, challenging questions. Shadoe does not have all the answers but is ready to re-evaluate why the judgement of others is more important to her than her own judgment. From there, Victoria shares that she can feel "the wall" coming back in her interactions with other people. This leads to a conversation about wiggling in hugs being a sign to check-in with yourself! This part of the episode also explains the difference between BIG T Trauma and little t trauma. As always, the episode ends with 3 breaths of letting go. Support the Show.Thank you for listening!Interested in sharing one of your regrets?

Send us a Text Message.This episode starts with a quick discussion of the sarcastic reel Shadoe posted on her IG. This episode was recorded on Groundhog Day; a day that Shadoe has hated in the past! This year, she wants to lean into the fun and joy that this day brings for people. During our check-ins, we discuss this in more detail. Victoria also explains how to use Instagram to stay in the present moment. Check out her Facebook Group "Worry Free & Joyful Living" for a replay of IG 101!  To skip the check-ins, tune in at 26:31.Shadoe goes first today - and, her regret is a desire for chaos. Looking back, she realizes that she mistakes predictability for boredom; and, when the boredom kicks in; she finds all kinds of ways to bring chaos back in.  This is not followed by feedback; as, for today, she just wanted to be heard. Then, for Victoria's share, she opens up about watching "too much" TV, especially at night. She talks about revenge watching and how this impacts sleep. Funnily enough, she does not want feedback today either.  So, we wrap up our episode, as always, with our three breaths of letting go! Support the Show.Thank you for listening!Interested in sharing one of your regrets?

Send us a Text Message.During this episode, Victoria opens up about the impacts of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and Shadoe explores lingering regret about her art project; "The Word Fat". As always, we start with our check-in.  This week that includes:  mega-sleep punshuman connectionThen, Victoria shares a cause for applause about the latest episode, a letter from Nurse Alex. (8:03) To skip the check ins, jump in at 11:46  Victoria opens up about the cycle of punishment that comes with unrealistic expectations. In particular, trying to make summer happen during the winter. As a person living with SAD, it is extremely difficult for Victoria to wake up early, and, she has spent a lot of time punishing herself for that instead of leaning into it. For example, she has learned that a nature walk each day is a prescription, but it does not have to be the first thing of the day - as long as it happens at some point each day. Shadoe explores lingering regrets about starting an art project with the word 'fat' without having more understanding of fat liberation first. As she states in the episode, "it felt good to channel the creative energy into something that could help me with self-esteem" and “I’ve moved past feeling insulted by someone who would call me fat. And 13-Year-Old Me would have never thought that was possible.” However, this project uncovered that there is a lot more layers to fat liberation that she was not ready to address properly. This project has been on hiatus for more than 2 years and she is putting a lot of pressure on herself to create the 'perfect piece' of content to wrap it up.  As always, we complete the episode with our three breaths. ~o~O~o~ May You Be Well ~o~O~o~~o~O~o~ ~o~O~o~ May You Be Kind to Yourself ~o~O~o~ ~o~O~o~ May You Be Safe and at Ease ~o~O~o~ ~~o~O~o~O~o~ ~o~~Support the Show.Thank you for listening!Interested in sharing one of your regrets?

Send us a Text Message.In this episode, we welcome Alex Burcea. Alex is Victoria's sister-in-law and a compassionate, wonderful person that shared with us a regret about putting herself last. As always, we start the episode with our check-ins and cause for applause. This week, that includes catching up with an old friend (Shadoe), presenting at a panel event (Victoria) and Doing Something NEW on her birthday (Alex). To skip this part, tune in at 10:15. For the regrets, Shadoe shares that she regrets forgetting how much she enjoys alone time. In addition, she feels guilty about complaining about how much she needs this, and, somewhat ironically, cannot solve her need for alone time on her own. During the feedback session, we discuss toxic gratitude, as well as intrusive thoughts such as "be careful what you wish for". Then, Alex opens up about her regret, which is about not prioritizing her own health and wellness. During the feedback session, we discuss the warning signs to look out for. If you are having trouble falling asleep, or losing interest in the things you love; that is when you need to reach out for help. We discuss this with a lot of detail; and, although we don't have the answers, we were all able to agree that We are so willing to help others, but, many times, afraid to ask for that same help. We then finish the episode with three new breaths!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Here is more about Alex, in her own words: "I am a Critical Care  and Coronary Care certified Registered Nurse, specializing in Cardiology. Until recently I have worked with Critically Ill patients primarily in Cardiac Intensive Care. My work included being part of the Resuscitation Team (often referred to as Code Blue team), and primary care and responsibility for people experiencing a Critical Illness. I have worked in multiple other areas of medicine, but Cardiology has always had my Heart (pun intended). I am a mother to two boys and a wife to an amazing man. I am currently working on my physical and mental recovery."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~We were thrilled to have Alex on the show and hope that she comes back again!  If you want to be a guest on Let's Relieve Regret, reach out to us on Instagram @relieve.regret or by email at relieve.regret@gmail.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Support the Show.Thank you for listening!Interested in sharing one of your regrets?

Send us a Text Message. Welcome to Season 4! On this episode, we welcome Nadia Shahbaz. Nadia Shahbaz is a writer and former news producer of Afghan and Italian heritage. Her work has been published in a variety of magazines and illuminated on buildings in New York City. She is currently working on a novel on her Sicilian family’s fascist past. She also runs a community writing studio and newsletter on how creativity changes us called The Dormer Window. As always, we start this episode with our check-ins and cause for applause segment. For this episode, that includes haircuts, blowouts, paper crafts and December birthdays.  To jump straight to the regrets, tune in at 13:20. Victoria opens up about how difficult it is to define a boundary versus a grudge. Sometimes, it is very clear. In some relationships, one person is giving, giving, giving with nothing in return. Other times, it is not as clear. How do you make sure you stand up for yourself without hurting someone else?  During the feedback portion, we talk about how Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) can feed low self-worth. We also explore Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD), the concept of a Power Circle and giving ourselves the love we give others. Then, our guest Nadia opens up about criticism she received about being 'too sensitive'. At the time, she believed it; perceiving her sensitivity as a burden instead of the incredible gift it really is. Learning how to fine-tune your sensitivity can make you a better artist, writer and person. It can bring you closer to your loved ones. However, sensitivity is rarely welcome in the corporate bubble. Shadoe then shares an experience about being asked to work on her 'tofu', absorbing all the bad energy in the room to try and make things light and fun! This leads to a conversation about the book 'The Highly Sensitive Person' by Elaine Anon, inputs and outputs, and how it might be time to redefine what success looks like! Tune in at 55:41 to hear a great tip from Victoria about how to support a member of your team that you might think is too sensitive, without using the words you're too sensitive. We close out our episode by briefly discussing masculine and feminine energies.  We will need to have Nadia back on the show to discuss that in more detail!!As always, we finish the episode with our three breaths. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Want to know more about Nadia?

Episode Description:  As always, we start with our check-in and discuss Wonder Walks. Wonder Walks are a way to tap-in to our sense of playfulness and joy on something as simple as a daily walk.  Seeking something new each day to stay in the present moment. We also go on a long tangent about squirrels.  Did you know a group of squirrels is called a scurry?  To skip the check-in portion, skip to 17:10. Then, during the sharing portion of the episode; Shadoe opens up her regrets about letting close friendships go stale, and how she desperately wants to reach out to old friends, but, at the same time, has so many reservations about it. This leads to a conversation about uneven reciprocation, the desire to see how people change, the desire to show others how we've changed, and more. After that, Urmi opens up about her regrets about not practicing reading and writing in her mother tongue of Bengali. She can still speak it and she can read and write in several other languages. This leads to a thoughtful conversation about slow and small solutions (like practicing one word per day) and the idea that we do not need to take action on our regrets in order to release them. As always, we end with our three breaths of letting go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Urmi Hossain Bio: Urmi Hossain is Bengali by blood and Italian by birth.

Send us a Text Message.In this short podcast episode, Victoria explains Toxic Positivity. Toxic Positivity is a way we try to stay upbeat. However, toxic positivity can lead to losing empathy instead of actually helping someone feel better. In this episode, Victoria provides examples of toxic positivity as as well as an alternative way to connect with others and ourselves. We want to feel the lighter emotions more often, but, practicing GOOD VIBES ONLY ultimately leads to pushing our emotions down. Try validation and reassurance instead. Here are a few examples of that: "You can do hard things, and I believe in you." "There is a lot than can go wrong; but what could go right?"
