Listen Later

In this powerful episode of the Live Well and Thrive podcast, I sit down with Regina LaFrance, an extraordinary woman whose resilience and strength are truly inspiring. Regina opens up about her harrowing experience surviving childhood abuse at the hands of a trusted authority figure and the profound impact it had on her life. Despite the immense trauma, she has emerged stronger, choosing to channel her past into advocacy and healing for others.

Regina discusses her book, Shayla, which dives into her painful past while tracing her path to self-acceptance and empowerment. She stresses the importance of recognizing signs of distress in children and raising awareness to help prevent abuse. Her story is not just about survival but about thriving—and through her nonprofit, the Ladybug Movement, she’s helping others do the same.

She also emphasizes the importance of speaking out and supporting others who have faced similar challenges. Regina's message is clear: healing is possible, and with courage and support, anyone can overcome their past.

Join us for an episode that’s both heart-wrenching and uplifting, as we talk about the journey from victimhood to empowerment and the critical importance of listening to and believing in children’s voices.
