With an emphasis on holistic wellness, healthy sexuality, and cultivating curiosity and compassion, Jennifer doesn’t view herself as just your average “professional listener.” She is a personal co-pilot, life cheerleader, compassionate confidant, parts warrior, and the occasional “tea sipper.” With a knack for untangling life's inner webs, she helps folks navigate the intricate peaks and valleys of their emotional landscape with grace, humor, and a sprinkle of psychology.

Themes: Regret, Loss, Self Empowerment, Blame, Shame, Self Criticism, Self Compassion, Self Love, Self Growth It’s the 100th episode of the Empowered Connection Podcast! We extend our deep gratitude to you - our listeners and to expert special guests who have made this podcast such an inspiring resource for self growth, relational awareness, healing, consciousness, and spirituality. Please join us to celebrate and please join us for our NEXT 100 episodes! In this solo podcast episode, podcast host Daniel Damodar Cordua takes on a timely subject - the experience of regret. Sometimes the New Year inspires us to think about the future and what goals we have coming next, sometimes it asks us to celebrate all that we have done in the previous year, and sometimes it leaves us lingering with the feeling of regret. Sometimes it can bring up, bubbling into our hearts, the losses, the difficulties and the misses. In this episode, Daniel explores two distinct ways that we can deal with regret - one that is natural and tempting but filled but with liability and the other more challenging but empowering. Listen in and explore the ways we deal with loss & regret and be inspired by tools & perspectives that can shift our hearts into fuller potential and opening.
