I’m excited to share that I’ve officially completed the Trauma of Money® Training Program and am now a Trauma of Money Professional.

This experience deepened my understanding that our relationship with money is often shaped by lived experiences, not just financial knowledge. Financial stress can influence our thoughts, emotions, relationships, behaviors, and overall well-being.

As a Licensed Certified Social Worker and Lifestyle Health Behavior Practitioner, this training strengthens my commitment to helping people heal from the inside out by recognizing the connection between trauma, health, and financial well-being.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue growing as a professional and expanding the ways I can support healthier individuals, stronger families, and more resilient communities.

Here’s to lifelong learning and recovering the recoverable.

It’s official! ✅

I am officially a Licensed Food for Life Instructor through the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine!

This certification equips me to provide evidence-based nutrition education that helps prevent, manage, and even reduce the risk of chronic diseases through the power of whole food, plant-based nutrition.

My heart is especially focused on serving:
🌱 The Mississippi Delta
🌱 North Mississippi
🌱 Senior living communities

I’m also excited to partner with:
✔️ Churches
✔️ Civic organizations
✔️ Clinics
✔️ Community health centers
✔️ Nonprofits
✔️ Schools and wellness organizations

For years, I’ve believed that education is one of the most powerful forms of prevention. Now I’m even more equipped to help individuals and communities discover that food can be a powerful tool for healing and living well.

If your organization is looking for engaging, practical nutrition education classes, cooking demonstrations, or wellness programming, I’d love to connect.

Together, let’s help Mississippi do life well—one plate, one class, and one community at a time. 💛💜

💜 OCTOBER IS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH.

Some wounds are visible. Others are hidden behind closed doors.

Domestic violence affects women AND men, and it isn’t always physical. It can look like intimidation, manipulation, isolation, threats, financial control, and emotional abuse.

The statistics are sobering:
• More than 1 in 3 women and 1 in 6 men in the U.S. have experienced contact sexual violence, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner during their lifetime.

Let’s remember:
💜 Abuse is never the survivor’s fault.
💜 Leaving isn’t always simple or safe.
💜 Listening without judgment matters.
💜 Support, resources, and safe spaces can make a difference.

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, help is available.

National Domestic Violence Hotline
📞 1-800-799-SAFE (7233)
📱 Text START to 88788
🌐 thehotline.org

Let’s move beyond awareness to compassion, education, and action.

Because doing life well also means being able to live safely, freely, and without fear.

💜 Share this. Someone may need the reminder.

A NEW CHAPTER IN DOING LIFE WELL.

I’m excited to officially announce the addition of Therapy Services to my professional practice.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Lifestyle Behavior Health Practitioner, I believe mental wellness is an important part of how we do life well, and sometimes, having a dedicated space to talk, process, and move forward can make all the difference.

I’m now offering:

• Individual Therapy
Support for life transitions, personal challenges, goal-setting, and meaningful change.

• Couples Therapy
Collaborative support focused on communication, navigating challenges, and creating practical solutions together.

My approach is Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), with an emphasis on identifying strengths, clarifying what you want to change, and moving toward actionable solutions.

💻 Virtual/Telehealth
🏡 Limited in-person sessions available

Appointments are available through Rula for insurance or private pay, or SimplePractice for private-pay appointments.

This is more than adding another service. It represents an intentional expansion of my work to support the whole person—mind, behavior, lifestyle, and relationships.

Healthier Mind. Stronger Choices. Greater You.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to create a space where people can pause, process, and move forward.

Therapy is now part of Doing Life Well.

YOU showed up. And that counts.

Lately, I’ve had several conversations with people who are starting over.

And recently, I met three women at one of my speaking engagements who had each walked through some tough times and were finding their way forward.

It took a LOT for them to get there.

But they showed up.

And that reminded me of something I want YOU to remember as we close out September:

Starting over doesn’t mean you failed.

Sometimes, it means life happened.
Sometimes, it means you got tired.
Sometimes, it means you had to stop and catch your breath.
And sometimes, it means you finally decided that you were ready to take the next step.

So don’t spend all your energy focusing on what didn’t go well.

What DID go well?

You showed up.

Even in the struggle.
Even when you didn’t have your usual capacity.
Even when the step was small.

You still showed up.

And that matters.

Because this is bigger than food.
Bigger than weight.
Bigger than a number on a scale.

It’s about your life.

Your health.
Your relationships.
Your purpose.
Your peace.
Your ability to keep moving forward when life doesn’t look the way you thought it would.

So my invitation to you is simple:

Keep showing up.

Take the next supportive step.
Then take another one.

You don’t have to figure out your whole life today.

Just take the next step.

It’s Regina, the Plant-Based BAWSE, reminding you:

You can recover the recoverable.

And sometimes, recovery begins with one decision:

“I’m going to keep showing up.”

Sometimes the invitation isn’t just an opportunity to speak.

Sometimes it’s an opportunity to pause, reflect, and remind people that they matter, too. 💜💛

I’m incredibly grateful to Brianna, founder of Unleashed by Brianna, for inviting me to be part of such a beautiful celebration of 6 years of success!

Customer appreciation, delicious food, door prizes, photo opportunities, networking, and a guest speaker—all created with intention to celebrate the people who have supported her journey. What a thoughtful way to honor six years of building, serving, and growing. 👏🏾

And I was honored to contribute to the experience by sharing a message that is deeply connected to the work I do through Doing Life Well:

The Invisible Load We Carry: It’s Time to Put Yourself Back on the List.

Because caring for ourselves is about so much more than how we look.

It’s about how we eat.
How we move.
How we rest.
How we manage stress.
What we carry emotionally.
The boundaries we create.
And whether we make room for our own well-being while caring for everyone else.

I challenged the room to pause and ask:

Where have I been putting everyone else before myself?

What would change if I decided that my well-being mattered, too?

And most importantly:

What is one thing I can do this week to prove it?

Because you don’t have to wait until something is broken to begin caring for yourself.

Neglected does not mean lost.

Your health may be recoverable.
Your energy may be recoverable.
Your confidence may be recoverable.
Your joy may be recoverable.
Your dreams may be recoverable.

There is still much of your life left to recover.

So, ladies…

Put yourself back on the list. 💜

Brianna, thank you for trusting me to be part of your celebration and for creating an experience that reminded your customers that they are worth celebrating, too.

Congratulations on 6 years of Unleashed by Brianna!

Here’s to continued growth, impact, and many more years of being unleashed!

Respond with intention. Live with intention.
