This week I talk about my recent wilderness solo fast and all of the clarifying moments I had about living a life of no BS and no regrets. We’ll jam on the top 5 regrets of the dying that Bonnie Ware wrote about, and what we can do to work on preventing them. Plus I’ll give you some
tools for overcoming the fear and doubt that’s keeping us from making changes right now.
In this week’s episode, I share my story of when I got diagnosed with kidney cancer and what it was like having to face the reality that we all will die, and we NEVER know when. I’ll also give you some ways we can stop putting off the things that give our life meaning and a sense of integrity, and start living a life of no regrets, making the most of whatever time we have. For some this means more adventure. For some it means forgiving (including ourselves). There are so many ways this can look. But for all of us, it means more freedom.
