For many of us, growing up involved asking permission from our parents, caregivers, teachers, and authority figures to do almost everything- including using the restroom! When we wanted to go on a trip, our parents had to sign a permission slip; if we wanted to miss a day of school, our parents had to write a permission slip. Imagine how this good girl/ nice guy programming affected us subconsciously. Â
When we spend the formative years of our lives seeking permission from others, we often donâ...
Over a decade ago, when facilitating my groups with women, we talked a lot about the "Yeah, But" part of ourselves, which added a discrediting disclaimer to any personal acknowledgments or shout-outs.Â
For example:Â
You: I walked 3 miles yesterday
Yeah, But:Â I sat on the couch today.Â
You: I held a boundary when talking with my sister.
Yeah, But: Then, I snapped at my partner this week. Â
You: I got new signups for my class!
Yeah, But: itâs only 3. Â
For every attempt to acknowledge yourself, ...
I am one week away from leading Mike Dooley's Infinite Possibilities Certification Conference and completing the fourth round of the In the World Mastermind. This means time feels compressed, my to-do list feels impossible, I am sitting in front of my computer way too much, and I am holding stress in my body.Â
Have you had weeks that felt like that, too? Â
So, right now, I have to be very intentional about moving, sleeping, breathing, and eating nourishing, healthy food. Yet ironically, those ...
Last week, I didnât send out my weekly email. Technically, I broke my 25-week/6-month consistency streak. It was a rollercoaster week, and I had to focus on priorities. Â
Guess what? It's ok. I can restart. Â
Because consistency doesnât mean perfection. Â
Missing a day or two of not posting to social media, exercising, meditation, or anything else you are trying to do consistently doesnât mean you arenât or canât be consistent. It means you have another opportunity to evaluate and decide if t...
Last Thursday was one of my favorite days of the year, and it made me thinkđ deeply about why and how I can cultivate more days like that.Â
Â
I took a day out of work for a Friendship Ritual.Â
Â
A friendship ritual is a regular occurring friendship date or tradition to deepen your relationship and increase your life satisfaction and joy.Â
Â
Here are the details⊠My dear friend Lisa and I had our 13th, 12th, or maybe 11th annual friendship ritual. There is debate over when our friendship r...
Since I was a little girl, Iâve been afraid  of looking stupid. Â
It started in 3rd grade with the popular math game âAround the World.â Processing math quickly when put on the spot sent me into a panic. I made a huge math error, and the entire class laughed and called me stupid. It was a day no one would remember in that class except me and my nervous system. Â
And while itâs the first time I can remember feeling that way, it certainly wasnât the last. Especially when you consider I was an a...
Tomorrow is a new moon in Aquarius, and Saturday is the Lunar New Year!Â
What are you releasing, and what new things are you beginning? Â
Last week was mybirthday. I chose to spend the day in quiet reflection, releasing 2023 and fully stepping into my new year. I gifted myself the pleasurable experience of getting a massage and facial, and I cooked one of my favorite childhood comfort food dinners. My hubby also brought me some delicious treats. Mostly, though, I continued to tap into the fee...
Itâs 1.11 today. Itâs also the first New Moon portal of the year, where we will be receiving messages, ideas, and intuitive nudges of what to follow and what to release. There is a clearing and purging energy this month, but today is a great day to set intentions, make some commitments, and even take a baby step toward what you want for this year. And if you arenât sure, nowâs a good time to listen and reflect deeply.Â
Before I launch into my personal story, I want to give you one last reminde...
Itâs a new year, yaâll. 2024. Â
How many times will I date something 23 out of habit? Not sure, but I already did it today when writing up client notes. Â
I hope you had some time to reflect on the highlights, challenges, and learnings of 2023. Â
Many of my yearly highlights included travel and people I love. Spring break in NYC, a family reunion that included 21 people in 1 Airbnb, two girlfriend retreats, Fort Lauderdale with the hubby, Halloween events, a wedding, and countless dinners an...
Guess what time it is according to the world of Regena?Â
New 2024 Planner time.Â
Reaction check- did you light up excitedly, đ€©or did you vehemently roll your eyes? đÂ
Oh, friend, I totally get and honor both reactions.Â
If you donât want to hear a thing about planning and planners, and especially if you are a Ted Lasso Fan, read no further and watch this video instead. Happy Thursday!Â
Finding a planning system that actually worked for me and didnât cause me to waste time writing in my pla...
