Regina Swarn Audio Series Presents - Believing in Yourself When Others Don't: A Journey from 3,000 to 20,000 Listeners

Episode Date: September 21, 2025

Fan MailHave you ever pursued a dream that your own family couldn't see the value in? That crushing feeling when those closest to you don't fully believe in your vision can make anyone question their path. But what if that doubt is actually part of the journey?My podcast started with just two loyal listeners—myself and my sister Lora. From her sickbed in 2020, when I contemplated giving up this project to focus solely on my music, Lora insisted I continue. "Please do the podcast," she urged. That single moment of encouragement changed everything. Today, what began as a tiny project has blossomed to reach over 20,000 listeners and continues to grow with each episode. Though Lora isn't physically here to witness this growth, her spirit guides everything I do with this platform.The scripture says "a prophet is without honor in his own country," and this truth applies to many creative journeys. Sometimes the people who know you best believe in you least—at least until your success becomes impossible to ignore. But by then, the validation feels different, doesn't it? The magic happens when you push forward anyway, putting faith before doubt and purpose before approval. I'm now preparing to welcome incredible guests like Murphy Elliott and Elder Davis, people whose stories will inspire and transform. These connections represent the unexpected blessings that arrive when you refuse to abandon your calling.If you're struggling with doubt today, especially from those whose support you crave most, take this as your sign to keep going. Your breakthrough might be just around the corner, and the right audience is waiting to find you. Subscribe to join our growing community as we launch Season 8, where remarkable stories await.

I'm talking a little bit low because I got a lot of sleep and I was supposed to do some stuff yesterday that I didn't get a chance to do because I guess I just need. the rest. But this podcast is to let you know that I'm sending my number, the number out to the people who are going to be on the podcast. And I got some major, beautiful, wonderful guests who has decided to, you know, they chose my little podcast to be a part of. And I call it a little podcast because it's not a huge big podcast. You know, a few thousand, you know, yeah, but I'm so thankful. I want to say this. I want to come on here to say this this morning. You may not always be received by those closest to you. I mean family, you know, some of your family members, not all of them, but some of them may not believe in your dream, but believe in what you're doing.

And although it may be the best thing that you've ever did in your life or ever done in your life, some people still even some of your family members may not believe that because they are family members and sometimes I'm here to encourage you out there I just feel like it needs to encourage you somebody out there some families they

oh my God they gravitate toward the kids or their sisters and brothers and my sister Laura she did that I mean she was absolutely my biggest supporter my biggest fan and but some families and I know there are some out there

their son like that in every family. You got them where they are not necessarily, they don't really believe in you yet until things blow up and everybody's believing in you and then bang. But is that the time you really want them to believe in you when everybody in the world knows who you are? But that's not important. I say that to say this,

those who are listening to me right now, don't give up. Because it doesn't matter. I started out with just, My sister Laura and me doing the podcast, really. And when she said, don't give up, when I was about to give up, she said, don't do it. And I've seen this podcast grow to, it went from 3,000 to 5,000 to 15,000 to upward to now 20,000 people. And I'm really excited about that. Really excited.

I want to cry. I want to cry because Laura is not here to cheer me on in the, um, you know, in the success of the podcast, but actually she is here. Her spirit is here. I always see happy dreams about her and I always see that. So I'm here to say, even if people don't take you seriously in your dream, it may not be a podcast, it might be music, it might be a dream that you got. Don't give up, guys. Do not give up just because one or two people over here that knows you don't support that. You keep going. Keep going, take my word for it because there are bigger things ahead for you, greater things ahead for you.

And if you go on, regardless of what people are saying, or they're doubting or whatever, you personally, you go on. And God will bless that. Because God, you know, if you've got a personal relationship with God, like I do, I have a personal relationship with God. I may not be around a lot of people all the time, but I know that God is with me. all the time everywhere I go. He's with me. He's with me right now as I sit here speaking with you. So don't, don't be dismayed. Don't, don't let anything cause you to give up. Because had I given up when Laura was on her sick bed back in 2020, when she was listening to my podcast, it was her and me, maybe a couple of other people. But it really brought joy and

comfort to her soul. When I was telling her, she was laying there in a bed, really sick. And I said, you know, I was thinking about just not doing the podcast anymore, just focusing solely on the music or whatever. And she said, oh, no, no, no. She said, please do the podcast. Do you the podcast. So I'm so grateful looking back on that.

I'm so grateful that I did not give up. Had I given up, those 20,000 people that are listening now, and it's growing, guys, the more of my guests are on there to do. you hear the different guests that decide to come on the podcast, you're going to be knocked off your feet. You know, some people I've had to, like, pull teeth to get them on the podcast. I want you to, can you be on there? These guests are major people and want to be a part of it.

And some of them are just regular people that want to tell their story. You know, and I'm here to listen to your story. So my encouragement this morning is don't give up. I had to make this quick podcast. I promised not to make any more podcast before I bring on my first guest, but I had to do this. So today I'm calling different people who's going to be a part of the podcast, letting them know the number.

So if you see my number, I'm going to give you that number. When I call them, I'm give them that number. And when they see that number, that's the number they will call me at. But before that, I'm going to be calling them, and we're going to have a conversation to make sure they're good. good and uncomfortable because once you have that number, we're on it, baby. So back to the reason for this podcast, don't give up. People may not be for you.

They might not even believe in you, but you've got to believe in yourself and most of all. Put God first always. You put God first, he's going to always put you first, and that's the reason why a lot of people right now, they're sitting back like, boy, that's pretty good, you know. But as it grow, it's going to grow even bigger. It's getting bigger. And so I just want to say, don't give up, guys. Whatever it is that you're out there doing, don't give up because it's so easy to give

up when you want certain people to be a part of things and a part of your life. You know, and I want it to be more lorres out there, you know, but it's not, you know. So you got to go with what God. put into your path because when God put people into your path that's who he want there and you got to realize you know if God be for you that's all you need if God before you who can be against you if God before you he's more than a world against you so just move forward believe in the Lord believe that all is good and I just want to bring you that word this morning thank you so much for listening and yes I'm going to be calling different ones today

giving him my podcast number and we think it from there. Sorry I had to make it to the podcast, but I just felt like I needed to spread a little joy this morning and bring forth the good word letting you know don't give up in spite of. Because, you know, a prophet is going to always be without honor in his own country, except in his own country. And that can mean, you know, sometimes people know you or around you, even friends, they don't take it seriously.

But once everything get, oh my God, that's my friend up there. And you're so up there And God has blessed you so much That they have to believe in it then And then, you know But in the meantime, don't be discouraged I have to tell myself that I have to tell myself that

A lot of times don't be discouraged I got to remember what Laura The conversation we had On her sick bed And her deathbed I remember her conversation Don't give up And that's the only reason that I kept

This podcast going and it's reached the right people. The people that is needed to reach or needed to reach is reaching the right people. So thank you to all the guests who decided to come on.
