Regina's life has been shaped by music. Tune in as we follow that pulse from flamenco courtyards in Seville to drum fires in Ghana, charting how rhythm can soften the mind, strengthen the body, and reconnect us to each other. Regina shares her experience of losing her voice as a child to reclaiming expression through movement, martial arts, and West African drumming—and how the drum became both teacher and medicine. We dive into polyrhythms, lineage, the sacred role of the drum and explore why repetitive beats can switch the brain from analysis to flow. You’ll hear how drumming served as communication across villages, why the instrument is considered a living spirit that unites tree, animal, and human, and how vibration plus intention helps release stored tension. We talk about cultural respect, learning from elders, and the responsibility of carrying rhythms that hold history inside their patterns. The conversation also centers the feminine: creating safe spaces where women can be heard, choosing sensual, grounded tempos; and pairing drum with dance so rhythm lives in the hips as much as the hands. We bring it home with practical ideas —how a single drum can ease stress, deepen bonds, and turn a room into a circle. To close, Regina guides us with a gentle heartbeat meditation that opens the heart, settles the mind, and widens the field of care from self to the world. If this resonates, tap play, breathe with the beat, and let the rhythm do its quiet work.
