You’re reacting — fast — because your emotions are
louder than your logic.
That’s when real damage gets done.
Regret doesn’t show up right away.
But it’s already in motion.
CLICK and INPUT:
The ugly details, the emotion, the snap reaction you'll regret.
Unload. Get it out in all it's ugly detail. Example: He didn’t text back last night. Saw him active on IG. Morning comes — radio silence.
What do you believe this means? Example: He’s obviously out with someone else. Probably the same girl he swore was just a ‘friend.’ Men are all liars.
What do you feel like doing? Example: I’m about to send a 2 a.m. rage text, screenshot our chats, and post them on the ‘Are We Dating the Same Guy?’ page.
THE TOOL WILL OUTPUT:
The only three things you need — reality, truth, and your next step.
Lay out what went down in plain, factual language removing assumptions, judgements or motives. Example: He didn’t text back. No reply. Nothing more, nothing less.
Dial into what's REALLY happening. Example: You don’t control his silence. He may be losing interest — or he may be dealing with a crisis.
Suggest practical alternative action, realistic and doable, toward an intended outcome. Example: Do nothing for 24 hours. If he’s in, he’ll show it without you chasing. If he’s out, you’ll know soon enough — and you’ll maintain self-respect.
HIT the PAUSE BUTTON
start making choices
you don’t have to regret.
Friendships that survive conflict. |
A partner that shows up consistently. |
Monday mornings that don't feel like impending doom. |
Be alone without needing validation. |
Sleep that comes without scrolling or prescriptions. |
You’re facing a decision that could change everything.
You’ve made choices you regret and want to stop repeating the pattern.
You’re tired of learning the hard way.
You want soft, feel-good advice.
You’re looking for someone to validate bad choices.
You think consequences only happen to other people.
I ignored the warnings and justified every shortcut.
I lied to myself about what I was really doing — until the feds showed up.
I was sentenced to 48 months in federal prison.
That was the consequence.
The way I made decisions.
Fast. Emotional. Defensive. Always sure I was right.
This is what I had to rebuild — from the ground up.
And that’s what the THE PAUSE BUTTON
is here to help you start doing right now.
But the real work goes deeper.

I walked into Danbury thinking I was special. That my marijuana charges put me in a different category. Like I was the Joan of Arc of weed, not just another person who made stupid decisions under pressure.
Then I heard their stories. The cancer researcher who trusted the wrong person. The Border Patrol Agent who got caught up with the wrong man. Smart women who used the flawed logic I did—aimed at different targets.
That's when it hit me: I wasn't other. I was pattern.
American Regret is what I wish someone had shown me before federal agents were in my driveway. Every episode, we sit with someone who lived serious consequences and unpack the thinking underneath. The moment where reasonable became reckless.
I'm your #FairyGodFelon. I walk you through these stories so you recognize that moment in your own life before you blow past it doing seventy.

Get access to people who are done making the same mistakes with different props. We'll share near-misses and actual disasters. Call out the stories we're telling ourselves that are about to cost us years.
What will be included:
- Meetups with people who get it
- Webinars on specific patterns: misplaced trust, fear-driven choices, the logic that leads off cliffs
- Private office hours—bring your crisis, we'll find the pattern
- Content that shows you what you're choosing before the choice becomes permanent
The people here are building the muscle to recognize when they're standing at the fork in the road and choosing differently while there's still time.
We hold each other accountable through recognition, not shame. Because the pattern only works as long as you can't see it clearly.
You won’t catch every bad decision before it happens.
But if you use THE PAUSE BUTTON tool,
you’ll start to recognize the moments when you’re lying to yourself —
and learn how to stop.
REGRET DOESN'T COME OUT OF NOWHERE.
It builds, one unchecked emotion, one silent assumption, one excuse at a time. That’s what we’re exposing — in the tool, on the podcast, and eventually, together.
American Regret is facing the truth while there’s still time to choose something better.
Because if bad decisions pile up, so can better ones.
