Podcast Regret: Kiri Allan's "Sorry, Mum and Dad" Section Gets Real
Have you ever listened to a podcast and felt a pang of regret? Like, "Man, I wish I had said that" or "Dang, that was a missed opportunity"? Well, you're not alone. This week, we're diving into the depths of podcast regret, specifically focusing on a section from Kiri Allan's "Sorry, Mum and Dad" podcast that hit me right in the feels.
Kiri, a comedian and writer, does an amazing job in her podcast of exploring her own life through a blend of humor and vulnerability. She's honest about her struggles and triumphs, but the section that really got me thinking was when she talked about missing out on opportunities to tell her parents how much she loves them. She expressed regret for not saying those words more often and now, with her parents getting older, she finds herself feeling even more remorseful.
This resonated with me on a deep level. As someone who's also had their fair share of communication hiccups with family, I totally get the feeling of missing the boat on expressing love and appreciation. I've had those moments, too, where I wished I had said something differently or at all. Kiri's candidness about her own podcast regret made me realize that these feelings are totally normal.
The real magic of Kiri's podcast is its raw honesty. She doesn't shy away from those uncomfortable feelings, even when they involve regrets about her past. She makes it okay to feel those emotions, which is incredibly powerful. It's a reminder that we're all human, and we all mess up sometimes.
So, the next time you're feeling a little guilty about something you said (or didn't say), remember Kiri's podcast regret story. It's okay to feel those things! But, also, remember that it's never too late to express your love and appreciation to the people who matter most.
If you haven't listened to "Sorry, Mum and Dad," I highly recommend it. It's a raw, funny, and heartwarming podcast that's sure to resonate with anyone who's ever struggled with family dynamics.
P.S. Maybe I'll finally call my mom and tell her I love her. Kiri's story really inspired me!
