About this listen
What if nothing you’ve been through was actually wasted?
In this episode of Control-ALT-Create, Glenn Ostlund dismantles the cultural myth of “wasted time” and invites you to reframe regret through the lens of biology, neuroscience, and emotional growth. Drawing on research in neuroplasticity, trauma recovery, gut microbiome science, and the chemistry of memory, this meditative essay reveals how even your messiest moments are metabolized by the body—transformed, composted, and encoded as growth.
You’ll learn why your nervous system never discards experience, how rumination disrupts healing, and why your emotions are less like errors to fix and more like soil to tend.
This isn’t about toxic positivity. It’s about truth:
There is no waste—only signal, rewiring, and becoming.
🎧 Headphones recommended for binaural immersion.
