Why You Keep Doing Things You Regret (And How to Stop) With Carly Taylor
About this episode
Why do we do things we know we’ll regret?
Why is it so hard to pause in the moment… and choose differently?
From snapping at someone you care about, to habits you keep falling back into, these split-second decisions can quietly shape the direction of your life.
In this episode, Carly unpacks what’s really happening in those moments when the impulse feels stronger than you… and a technique to stop getting pulled under by it.
Carly is a counsellor and coach who specialises in building psychological hardiness — the ability to navigate challenge, stay engaged, and take action under pressure. Her work integrates modern psychology with Japanese approaches like Morita Therapy, focusing on helping people live meaningful lives without needing to control their thoughts or emotions.
