Today, Loretta welcomes Regina Leffers, Ph.D. who is a philosopher, meditation teacher, and former professor whose life’s work bridges academic philosophy, psychology, contemplative practice, and human development. Her latest book, This Is Consciousness!, was written in response to what she sees as one of the great crises of our time — our inability to speak civilly, listen deeply, and navigate difference without fear, reactivity, or polarization. Regina offers a developmental map of consciousness using what she calls “facets” — different ways consciousness expresses itself as we grow through life. Each facet has its own gifts, challenges, shadows, and problem-solving capacities. Regina’s writing is refreshingly accessible, grounded, and practical, offering tools readers can immediately apply in their own lives. Her work serves as a bridge between philosophy, neuroscience, psychology, and spirituality — making the invisible architecture of human consciousness visible, understandable, and usable.
