Ep. 41: Regret

About this episode

In this episode, Miist shares a personal story of regret and healing, exploring the complexities of forgiveness and the impact of a long-standing family estrangement.

Have you ever felt the crushing weight of regret pulling you down like a swirling black hole, begging for a way to rewrite the past? In this deeply personal episode, I pull back the curtain on a twenty-year silence between a father and daughter—a story of abandonment, a starving family's desperate choice, and the unexpected path to healing relationships we thought were lost forever. Together, we’ll discover why forgiveness isn't about excusing the hurt but about reclaiming your freedom, and how a simple, 15-second action can transform your deepest remorse into your greatest strength. Come listen to the song that was born from my pain, "Let Me Be the Promise You Wanted," and find out if it's ever truly too late to make amends and finally find peace.
