Everyone has regrets—but after a major life change, those "if onlys" can hit even harder. In this 2-part series, we’ll explore The Power of Regret, based on Daniel Pink’s bestselling book. Together, we’ll learn why regret isn’t something to avoid or be ashamed of—it’s a powerful emotion that can reveal what matters most, and help us shape a more intentional, fulfilling life.

Through warm discussion, guided journaling, short video clips, and reflection exercises, we’ll cover:

🌀 What regret really is and why it’s so common during/after divorce or break-ups
💔 The 4 most common types of regret (spoiler: relationships top the list)
✨ A 5-step process to transform regret into clarity and forward movement
🌱 How to use regret as a guide—not a punishment

This is not about reliving the past—it's about learning from it and moving forward with greater self-compassion and intention.

🗓️ Part 1: Understanding Regret - Wed, July 16, 7-9 PM Pacific
🗓️ Part 2: Turning Regret Into Growth - Wed, July 23, 7-9 PM Pacific

✨ All are welcome! Come for the insights, stay for the connection. ❤️

Our Meeting Agenda:
• Introductions
• Video or Speaker (30-45 minutes)
• Group Discussion
• Bio Break
• Confidential Sharing* (45 minutes)

*We ask attendees to have their cameras on for sharing time.
