What If You're Not The Problem?

It’s Day 29 of the Challenge, Day 13 of Momentum, and it’s Weigh-In Monday. Today I weighed in at 214.0, and I feel great. Yes, I’m celebrating the number, but I’m also celebrating how I feel. I feel lighter, stronger, encouraged, and reminded that consistency really does speak. This journey is not just about the scale. The scale gives information, but it does not tell the whole story. It cannot m...

Today's episode takes a closer look at one of the most overlooked sources of added sugar - what we drink. From sodas and sweet tea to fruit juice and flavored coffee drinks, liquid sugar can quietly sabotage our health goals without us realizing it. Discover why sugary drinks affect hunger differently, how they influence energy and cravings, and one simple challenge that can help you make heal...

We are working it out, ya'll. Today’s message is about more than the workout. It is about discipline, consistency, and the choice to keep showing up even when it is hard. I’m celebrating a win because I have released 14 pounds. This girl is non stop. Not because every day is easy, but because I keep coming back. Sometimes we think we are only working out the body, but we are also working out o...

Today's episode explores one of the biggest misconceptions in the grocery store: the front of the package isn't always telling the truth. Learn why reading the ingredient list matters, how marketing influences our decisions, and how one simple habit can change the way you eat forever. It's not about fear-it's about becoming informed and making choices that truly nourish your body....

Meet Naomi. She isn't a real person—but she represents thousands of women. Women who are successful on the outside while quietly carrying grief, responsibility, stress, caregiving, exhaustion, and the pressure to keep going. In this heartfelt episode, Regina Williams introduces Naomi, the woman behind the mission of Rethinking Weight™, and explains why weight is often about so much more than f...

Today’s Body In Motion LIVE is about giving your body permission to move with grace. This is not about perfection. This is not about punishment. This is about showing up for the body you have today and remembering that every stretch, every breath, every modified move, and every small yes still counts. Movement can help us release what we have been carrying, wake up our strength, and reconnect with...

It's Weigh-In Monday, and this week the scale showed a 3-pound gain. But is the scale telling the whole story? In this episode, Regina shares why progress cannot be measured by one number alone. From building muscle to creating healthier habits, some of the most important victories happen beyond the scale. If you've ever felt discouraged by a weigh-in, this conversation will remind you tha...

Today is not just about working out. It is about listening to the body, reconnecting with the body, and reminding yourself that you are still here. Sometimes our bodies carry more than weight. They carry stress, disappointment, grief, pressure, responsibility, and all the things we never say out loud. So today, we are not moving to punish the body. We are moving to come back to it. A step counts....

Day 19 of the 30-Day Challenge and Day 3 of the Momentum Challenge is about adjusting without quitting. Sometimes life changes the way we thought we were going to show up. Our body may feel off. Our mind may be tired. Pain, stress, or injury may shift the plan. But that does not mean the song is over. As a violinist, I know when one string is off, you do not throw the whole violin away. You pause,...

Today’s message is about the part of progress we don’t always talk about. Progress sounds beautiful when we talk about results, healing, weight loss, stronger bodies, better relationships, growing businesses, new doors, and answered prayers. But before progress shows up looking pretty, sometimes it first shows up uncomfortable. There is a kind of pain that comes with growth, discipline, stretching...

Do vegetarians need meat for protein? Not true. In this Day 17 - Part 2 episode, we continue rethinking one of the biggest food myths: that protein only comes from meat. Today we’re looking at more plant-based protein sources, including chia seeds, oats, walnuts, hazelnuts, lentils, chickpeas, black beans, kidney beans, pecans, quinoa, macadamia nuts, spinach, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts. This...

Today, BYOB means Bring Your Own Body. Not the body you wish you had. Not the body you keep trying to hurry up and change. Bring the body you have today — the one that may need support, patience, movement, and grace. Sometimes we think showing up means doing everything full out. But wisdom teaches us to listen, adjust, and work with the body instead of fighting against it. This message is about ho...

The internet has been out because of 2 major storms - sorry for not posting, but I'm baccccck! Day 15 is Weigh-In Monday , and today we’re talking about progress that adds up. Did you know that releasing 1–3 pounds a week may not look like a lot in the beginning, but over time it really does make a difference? I went from 227 to 216 in just a month and a few days - and I’m eating, moving, and...

AUDIO REPEAT - Because of major storms I can't do audio but reposted Day 11 but come on live. Today we are talking about what it means to move with wisdom, strength, and purpose - even when movement does not look the way we planned. Sometimes we have to adjust, modify, and honor where our body is. But that does not mean we quit. It means we listen. It means we protect what needs healing while...

Do vegetarians really need meat to get enough protein? Not true. In today’s Day 12 episode, we’re rethinking the myth that protein only comes from meat. Plant-based foods like beans, lentils, chickpeas, nuts, seeds, quinoa, greens, and whole-food meals can help nourish the body and support a healthy lifestyle. This conversation is not about judging anyone’s plate. It’s about learning, growing, and...

Day 11 of June's 30 Day Challenge Today we are moving with wisdom. Sometimes the assignment is to adjust, listen, and keep showing up in a way that honors the body. Upper body workouts are so important because our arms, shoulders, chest, and back help us do everyday things: lifting, reaching, carrying, pushing, pulling, sitting tall, breathing better, and keeping our posture strong. When you’r...

Day 10 is a real and personal reflection on strength, consistency, and what happens when life catches you off guard. Right before playing violin at church, Regina fell and hurt her leg badly. She didn’t think she could push through, but Be-Mighty kept ringing in her spirit, Move Forward stayed on repeat, and Truth reminded her that consistency matters most when life is hard. This episode is about...

Day 9 of June's 30 Day Challenge Walk-A-Mile With Me LIVE is paused right now because of my injury… but movement is not canceled. I’m hurting, I’m swollen, and I’m down from walking right now because I fell and injured my left leg pretty badly. But I’m still showing up. I’m still moving. I’m still doing what I can. So today, we are shifting. ARMS IN MOTION LIVE with MoveLite™ starts at 12 PM C...

It’s Day 8 of the June Challenge, and I am celebrating a powerful weigh-in moment - starting at 224, went up to 227 and now at 218. After completing her first full week of working out with Walk-A-Mile With Me LIVE on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, an unexpected fall on Sunday changed the plan. While walking down just two steps, her left knee gave out, causing swelling, pain, and the need to paus...

Today I’m talking about detoxing and giving the body a real chance to reset. I just completed a 72-hour water-only fast, and I feel amazing inside and out - and yes, on the scale too. But let me say this clearly: what I did is not for everyone. Sometimes detoxing may mean 3 days, 5 days, 7 days, or even finding a 14-day system that works for your body. Do your research. Listen to your body. Check...

Hey Hey Hey! It’s Day 4 of the June Challenge, and today we are talking about motivation - not the kind where you sit around waiting to feel ready, but the kind that shows up after you start moving. This morning at 9AM, I’m showing up and inviting you to Walk-A-Mile with me. At home, on the treadmill, outside, in your hallway - wherever you are, just move with me. This is not about perfection. Thi...

Day 3 of the Rethinking Weight June Challenge is all about TRUTH. The journey does not need perfection. It needs participation. So many times we stop because we think we have to do everything perfectly. But today is a reminder that one small action still counts. One honest step still matters. One decision to keep going can shift everything. Today’s reflection question: What is one small action you...

This is Day 1 of June's 30 Day Podcast Posting Challenge, but this is Week 6 of Weigh-In Monday… and y’all, I released 6 pounds this week! Yeahhhh!!! 🎉 And let me tell you, this week reminded me of something real: what you eat matters. Not in a shame-filled way. Not in a “beat yourself up” way. But in a truthful way. I got a little happy with the vegan pizza and Garrett’s Cheese & Caramel...
