What if the life you keep postponing is the one you were actually meant to be living?
In this episode of the Building Resilience Podcast, Leah Davidson shares the simple question she asks herself before every big decision, will I regret this when I'm 80? — and how it led her and her husband Rob to say yes to a four-month trip through Europe this year. She revisits the piece of advice her aunt gave her nearly 30 years ago that changed the entire course of her career, and the reason that advice hit even harder after her aunt's life was cut short at 47. Drawing on Bronnie Ware's book The Top Five Regrets of the Dying, Leah unpacks why so many of us keep waiting for the \"right time\" that never actually arrives, and what's really happening in the nervous system when we choose familiar over uncertain.
You'll learn why \"ready\" is not a permission slip you receive but a capacity your nervous system builds through action, how to tell the difference between waiting for something real and quietly avoiding change, and one filter question you can start using this week to cut through second-guessing on decisions big and small.
