Regina Cates

Regina V. Cates has one mission in life: she helps people connect to and lead with their heart.

Through the sharing of her own personal experiences, Regina communicates universal truths in a down-to-earth manner that everyone can understand.

But Regina’s life purpose wasn’t always so clear. She has a master's degree in leadership and worked in the not-for-profit and for-profit sectors for decades. But the big corner office did not make her happy. One day, while having a huge pity party, she found herself alone and depressed, wondering why life had treated her so unfairly. This emotional bottom resulted in a profound shift in her thinking, and from there her commitment to personal responsibility was born.

Regina has not been a victim of anyone or anything since that day. She now teaches others the importance of taking responsibility for one’s own actions, thoughts, and words, and how doing so will transform a victimized state of mind into one of power, purpose, and peace.

Regina’s story and teachings led to her writing an international best-selling book, Lead With Your Heart: Creating a Life of Love, Compassion, and Purpose (2014). And a second non-fiction book, The Real Conversation Jesus Wants Us to Have, a Call to Bravery, Peace, and Love (2025). Her podcasts have been downloaded in over 75 countries around the world. Regina has a massive social media following of hundreds of thousands.
