Regina Swarn Audio Series Presents - Don’t Let HR Meet Your “Old Self”

Episode Date: October 5, 2025

Fan MailEver feel that split second where your patience thins and the “old you” steps forward with words you can’t take back? This bonus drop is a straight, practical talk about facing workplace pressure with a calmer spirit, and why a quick pre-commute ritual—Regina calls it prayer—can be the difference between a small slight and a career-size problem. We get real about triggers, tone, and the way one heated moment can flip you from being right on the facts to wrong on conduct.We walk through the stress cocktail many teams live in: heavy workloads, tired managers, rushed messages, and clumsy phrasing that lands like disrespect. You can’t control other people’s tone, but you can arrive prepared. If the morning got away from you, take thirty seconds in the car or on the sidewalk to reset. Breathe, say a simple prayer, and set an intention to respond instead of react. That pocket of calm helps you hold boundaries, choose better words, and avoid the blowups that end up in HR or follow you to your next job.You’ll hear personal lessons, not platitudes: how a mindful check-in keeps the peace when someone “picks the wrong battle,” why empathy matters when you don’t know what a coworker is carrying, and how composure protects your reputation as much as your sanity. We’re also teeing up a fuller series on conduct in public and at work, because small habits shape big outcomes. If you’ve ever wished for fewer fires and more grace at the office, start with this simple practice and notice how the day shifts.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who’s under pressure, and leave a quick review to tell us what ritual keeps you steady. Your stories shape what we explore next.Reaching for 🌟  The end of my showSupport the showContact [e-mail]

I'm Regina Swarn. Welcome back to a bonus episode of Regina Sworn. Auditius Series presents.

Going so great so forth. The season is pretty pretty. much in the beginning of the season, but going very well, wonderful guests, wonderful music, because everything, it's just really fantastic. I want to come on with this quick bonus because I know a lot of people go through this, I go through it myself, so I want to talk about it a little bit, push to your limits in the workplace. Now, listen to the title very carefully and you got what I'm trying to say, push to your limits in the workplace. I guess this word is so important to pray before you leave the house or before you, even on your way to work, if any of my audience, my followers are listening to me. Pray before you leave the house, but if you don't do it before you

leave the house, at least pray on your way en route to work because we don't know what we are going to be facing. And sometimes you are pushed to your limits when you go to work. You'll push to your limits. You're already under a lot of stress with the workload. And then sometimes you'll push totally to your limits. I've been there, guys. I've been there. And it just feels like people are riding your back. And next thing, you know, you snap and you do things and you say things. And sometimes those things might get you in a lot of trouble. And you can call you. cause a lot of trouble for other people, as well as yourself, of course. So it's good to pray before you leave your residence or pray early in the morning

or pray again en route to your jobs because it's so easy to be pushed to that limit. Someone comes along and they are picking the wrong battle, as I call it, because, and then they are tired, probably stressed out themselves, and then they come at you in the wrong way. And I learned a lot, people, a lot of times do not know how to talk to other people. I see that so much. I'm like, wow, they could have phrased that a little bit differently, and it would have came out so much differently, and the outcome would have been so much different. But people are so quick to jump down your throat about things. and sometimes people on the other end are just not going to take that, they snap.

And so for myself, I've learned to say a word of prayer before I leave the house. It's very important that I do this because that old man that was in me will show up, guys. I'm telling you, that old spirit that used to be in me that would curse the person out in a minute. I mean, in a second, in a split second. I have to be careful. So I personally have to really, really pray and check myself before I go anywhere. I really do. I really do.

And then therefore, when something do happen does happen, I am prepared for it. Because a lot of stupid things happen when you're out in the workforce. You know, a lot of crazy things happen. And you, most of the times, a lot of times you can be in the right. but if you do something crazy, then suddenly you're in the wrong. Like if you curse somebody out, if you snap on them, or you're fighting or whatever, not in my case, but in cases people have gotten into major, huge life-shattering things because they was angry and they were fed up to the limit.

And it happens. It's no need to me sugar-coting this. It happens. and so you never know what another person is going through. That's why you have to approach people, approach them in the right way. But what I see, some of the things that I see is I'm very unprofessional, very unprofessional. And so therefore on my end to protect myself, I have to pray, say a word of prayer. I really do.

If I don't, then it's not pretty. and I don't like the person that I become when I don't pray or say a word of prayer before I leave my residence. I tell me to bring that to you because I'm going to do a whole series on it. I'm going to do a whole entire podcast talking about it because I think people really need to know how to conduct themselves out in public. You really need to know that you got to pray if you don't worry before you leave the house. and a lot of times I might be listening to my music, da, da, da, da, da, and I'm like, oh, my God. I walk on the grounds, do you work,

and I'm like, walk up to work, pull up to work, and I'm like, oh, my God, I did pray tonight. I didn't pray any day. And, you know, by then you rushing out to go inside and you haven't gotten into your prayer. You haven't talked to God. It means a lot. It makes the difference.

And I just wanted to come on. to say that. Thank you for joining me for this bonus. Podcast is bonus, though. Meaning it's not very long. Oh, God be person. Any questions. This is just a bonus episode. So thank you for joining me.

Season 8 is going quite well right now. I'm so thankful for all my beautiful, wonderful guests. Yeah. So write to me as Swarindutina at gmail.com. And once again, thank you. and if you are one of those who just rush out of the house to your job, like I do a lot of times, it might not be so nice.

It's good to just get that prayer in. Get it out of the way. Get it in, get it out of the way. You may not think it's important to pray before you leave home or en route to work, but it's very, very important. It is for me, guys. It is for me. When I fail to do that is when I get it.

trouble when every little thing just irritates me everything but when i pray it's like water on a duck's back yeah thanks for listening again have a great day god bless until the next time see you later okay that concludes another great broadcast thank you so much for joining me for rita soaring audio series if you'd like to be a part of this series, please send me an email at Swarineorgina at gmail.com.
