Regret, Grief & Moving Forward Without Moving On with Stephanie Renner
What if moving forward doesn’t require you to “get over” what happened?
Stephanie Renner is an attorney, keynote speaker, and creator of the Regret to Resilience Method™, a framework for moving through unresolved guilt and regret without erasing the people, experiences, or losses that shaped us.
After the death of her son Jordan by suicide, Stephanie’s understanding of regret became deeply personal. In this conversation, we talk about the brutal “if onlys” that can follow loss, the illusion of control, and why building a meaningful life after grief doesn’t mean leaving someone behind. We also explore how regret reaches far beyond bereavement, showing up in relationships, careers, caregiving, and the decisions we replay long after they’re over.
In this episode:
- Grief, regret, and the “if only” cycle
- Suicide loss and unanswered questions
- Responsibility vs. hindsight
- Moving forward without “moving on”
- Self-forgiveness and self-compassion
- The illusion of control
- Finding purpose after profound loss
- Turning regret into resilience
