23: How to step outside of your box and be all of the things, all of the time

How one woman embraces being all the things—and owns itThis week’s episode I think back on all of the women I have interviewed and how they all have these things in common—they are strong, resilient, inspiring—and live in their masculine energy. My guest this week is no different; Regina Lawrence is a lawyer turned business coach, a natural connecter, and someone who motivates and inspires me to get uncomfortable and meet and connect with people as much as I can. Listen to this week’s episode and be inspired by Regina Lawrence, her story, and the impact she is making today. Learn how growing up in a household with 7 addicts influenced the trajectory of her life, how she went from lawyer to successful entrepreneur, and how she encourages people to be all the things—and own it. The black sheep of the family Regina grew up in a dysfunctional family, surrounded by drugs, codependency, addiction, cheating, and divorce. She learned at a young age how to smooth things over and how to read people—to know if they were on drugs, in need of her help, and how to be whomever they needed her to be. She was always the supporter and at 13 years old, when her father left her mother distraught and alone, she swore she would never let a man be her support system financially or emotionally. Determined to be more and living in her masculineOn a whim, Regina shares how she decided to go to law school, and successfully got in. She discusses the final moments of her schooling, how successful she became afterwards, and the moment she won her first case—and felt nothing. In the height of her career, she talks about the realization of how unhappy she was and describes the moment she was hysterically crying on her office floor in a pencil skirt and Louboutins praying for a way out. All the things, all the timeIn that moment, her life came to a crashing halt, and she talks about the steps she began to internally take to focus on how to change. She talks about the process and the decisions it took to make a major life decision and how her commitment to herself and her happiness led to her success today. Her mission in life is to help people get out of their defined ‘box’ and become “all the things, all the time.”Regina LawrenceRegina Lawrence is a former trial attorney and law school professor turned soulful business & life strategist.

I don't want to get married at 20 years old and start having kids. I have to do something different to change the cycle for my own life. 8:05 - ReginaI remember being 13 and thinking welp, it's time to grow up. I've got to take care of her and i will never rely on a man to take care of me, they way she relied on him. 12:40 - ReginaAs more success came and more money came and bigger clients came it got worse and worse and I was like where is this fucking fulfilment? Like I am doing it all. I am doing all the things they told me to do and I'm killing it, but I am so unhappy. 20:05 - Regina I gave myself permission to really think about what makes me happy and I realized I had spent an entire lifetime pursuing somebody else's version of goodness. 22:35 - ReginaNo one ever looked at me and asked regina what makes you happy and what did your soul come here to do? 22:59 -Regina What i understood that i could change the patterns and framework around how to respond to situations, I realized that I could teach other high performers that you can work 15 hours a day in a peaceful body and be productive and not be stressed out all the time. 31:09 - ReginaI've never stopped being in action. 32:00 ReginaI've allowed myself to not be married to anything and just flow with it 32:15 - ReginaI can't find what I want in a man unless I get very clear on what I want for myself and what I want for my life. 36:50 - ReginaI've realized that all the decisions I’ve made in my life up until 30 years old were always swayed by a man. 37:00 - ReginaMy mission in life is that we are all, “of the things” all of the time. 41:40
