When You Know Better: What If Your Past Wasn't a Mistake?

Published on: 8th October, 2026

Have you ever had one of those realizations that makes you think...

How did I not see this before?

Maybe it's a relationship pattern.

A way you've been shrinking yourself.

The need to keep everyone happy.

A story you've been carrying about something that happened years ago.

And suddenly, you can see it.

Which sounds wonderful—until the next thought arrives:

Why did it take me this long?

This week on I Ching Mashup, Michele and Lisa found ourselves wondering about the strange space between awakening and regret.

Because seeing something differently doesn't automatically mean we know what to do with what we see.

We're not going to tell you what the cards said.

But if you've recently found yourself looking backward with completely different eyes—or wondering how you could possibly have missed something that seems so obvious now—come sit with us for this one.

Because maybe the question isn't:

Why didn't I know better?

Maybe it's:

What becomes possible now that I do?

Come mash it up with us.

Feng Shui Reflection

This conversation also brought us back to the home.

If you're feeling called to create space for greater self-awareness, take a look at the Knowledge & Self-Cultivation area of your home, along with the center, which connects mind, body and spirit.

Notice what has accumulated there. What feels outdated? What no longer nourishes you? What could be cleared to create a little more room for the person you're becoming?

Sometimes the outer clearing gives the inner work somewhere to land.

We are grateful you joined us!
