Remember pen-friends? I used to have quite a few. Just random people I’d never met that I for some reason or another ended up exchanging letters with. Back then it was the only way I could connect with people from all over the world and I found it so fascinating.

I guess today’s version of that is social media, and it was a random comment on Twitter that first put me in touch with my guest here today. Regina Boer. Joining us from Florida, she’s here to talk about motherhood, creative writing and self-love.

What I truly admire about Regina is that she’s not on Instagram or runs a blog to present some polished version of herself. She keeps it real. She’s authentic. For instance, she’s not afraid to let you know that she spent the entire day in her PJ watching TV, and better yet, she doesn’t beat herself up about it either.

In this episode Regina shares how she carves out time for herself and her writing, what band practice thought her about resilience, and why she thinks it’s so important to create micro-moments of fun and travel. You might not be able to take your toddler to Paris for the weekend, but what can you do? It’s precisely this -can-do attitude that keeps Regina in her flow and enables her to show up as the best version of herself.
