Regina Swarn Audio Series Presents - THE LETTER - A Blind Listener’s Letter Reminds Me Why I Keep Going

Episode Date: July 17, 2026

Fan MailA handwritten letter shows up and suddenly the whole reason we podcast feels crystal clear. We talk about what it’s like to open mail from listeners who say the news is almost all bad, then ...describe our audio series as a steady place to breathe, reset, and find hope. That one word, hope, carries real weight when you’re trying to keep going through grief and pressure, and it reminds us that a voice can be a lifeline for someone you may never meet. We also unpack why we stay committed to audio instead of chasing video attention. People listen while driving, traveling, working, and living real life, and audio makes the message accessible in a way screens cannot. This becomes deeply personal when we share the heart of “The Letter” from a listener who is losing her sight and depends on audio to stay connected. Her words echo what Lora, told us before she passed: please do not ever stop doing podcasts. From there, we get practical and honest about boundaries: being careful with what we post online, dealing with flirtatious messages, spotting scams, and verifying what’s real. We touch on donations and support without pressure, the need for an assistant as the workload grows, and gratitude for the people helping with Lora’s memorial and the speakers chosen to keep it real and clean. If this story moves you, subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next, share it with someone who needs encouragement, and leave a review to help more listeners find the show.

Starting point is 00:01:13 Regina Swarton. I have to say that, you know, only because I hope all is well with everyone. I hope you have a great morning. I know a lot of you are just waking up. I'm kind of a night out, so I've been up for a while. I want to, um, I receive a lot of different letters about my podcast. Many, many, many. Oh, I forgot to say, welcome back to another episode of Regina Saurian.
Starting point is 00:01:50 Audio series presents. I forgot that. Now, I do receive a lot of, lot of letters about my podcast. And we were reading one the other day. It really touched my heart. We were reading it amongst all the other letters. You know, people saying, you know, I love your podcast. I love your audio podcast because we travel. See, a lot of people travel. A lot of people are on their road when they're listening to my podcast. A lot of them are. So you can always watch a podcast or watch a video. But my podcast is more like a radio kind of a thing.
Starting point is 00:02:45 You get what I'm saying? So when people are traveling and driving, they don't have to worry about looking at something. They can just listen to it. So we came across the letter the other day amongst maybe 214 letters. Yeah, I did get a lot of letters, really. And we came across this one letter
Starting point is 00:03:12 from this lady. I think it was her inner husband, I believe. And we read the letter and almost want to bring tears to my eyes, but we read it and she was just thanking me for my audio series from my podcast. She said for anything you do, she said, we listen and we wait for anything
Starting point is 00:03:42 that you post or that you put out. Even your reals of inspiration, video of inspiration or whatever I put out. They wait for it. She said, because it's so many bad things in the news. She says, so many horrible. horrible things in the news.
Starting point is 00:04:04 And she said, just about 99% of it is bad news. Even when you read about the news, the politics, and she said, that's bad. She said, everyday life things are going on with people. People are dying. And she said, everything is just bad. She says, don't want to listen to your podcast. She said, it's a podcast of hope.
Starting point is 00:04:37 She said, I love how you're doing a memorial for your sister. She said, we wait to hear the updates on that. She said, we love listening to how you let the Lord lead you. She said so many things in the letter. It was like a two, almost a three-page letter. And the strange thing,
Starting point is 00:05:05 about it. It was written in the old-fashioned way, like, with the pen. She didn't type it. It was with the pen. And it was printed. That must have taken a long time to write. So she printed it. And a few words was kind of misspelled or whatever, but it was just, it was encouragement to me that the Lord got people out there that listens to them. this podcast that crave what I am doing. And so I have to really be very, very careful everything that I post. On down from my pictures, I'm very careful what images I post of myself online. I do have a lot of pictures of myself a lot. But I try to post the wholesome pictures, It's the modest ones.
Starting point is 00:06:07 I got a lot of them. I got ones in swimsuits and all of that stuff. But these things like that, and I'm proud of my body, I really am. But things like that, I keep to myself. And I post, I try to post the wholesome pictures. So if I'm talking about dressing modest or whatever, whatever, I try to post pictures that are very modest. And I have a lot of those.
Starting point is 00:06:33 And I'll say at least 75, 80% of my pictures are pretty modest. But she went on to say that, you know, your podcast brings hope. She said, I hope that you know there are people out here who really enjoy listening to your voice. She said, your voice is like medication. It's certain trigger words that really just... touched my heart. She said, your voice is like medication, something else that touched me.
Starting point is 00:07:09 She said, we love that you do audio instead of video. She said, you're a pretty lady, you're very pretty, but you focus instead on how does she put it? I need to get the letter. I should have it in front of me. Oh my God. But anyway, she said, Being a pretty person, and she said, but you focus instead on people listening to what you're saying.
Starting point is 00:07:42 She said, because you could be all over the place, you can be a bigger internet sensation. She said, but instead you choose to continue to do it the radio way, the old-fashioned way, the old-time way when they were just doing radio. She said, oh my God, we appreciate you so, so, so much. And at the end of the letter, she said, is there anything we can do for you? She said, we want to start supporting you monetarily. Now, I don't ask people for money. I really don't.
Starting point is 00:08:21 I don't tell people, hey, send me money over here. I mean, yeah, at my website, just say if you want to make a donation, you can. and people do make donations. I want to say that. People do donate money to me. It's up at my website. The person that maintains the website, put that on there. And I noticed it a long time ago, but I never paid any attention to it.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Maybe I should pay more attention to things. But people do donate money to me. They send money to my PayPal. They send money to me. They donate money to me. They do. I don't like to talk about money. I really don't. But I'm talking about it. She's talking about it in this particular podcast episode topic. She just said, we love what you do. She said, please. And this right here triggered my heart made me think about Laura. She said, please do not
Starting point is 00:09:19 ever stop doing podcasts. The way you do it. She said, please don't ever stop. And this was a woman that wrote me who is a listener who follow my podcast. I have family members, and I don't like to talk about this, I don't like to bring this up, but I have family members who does not even listen to my podcast. You know, jealousy is a very cruel thing. When you're jealous of a person, even the Bible say jealousy is just as cruel as the grade,
Starting point is 00:09:59 I have family members who don't follow my podcast. As big and as popular as my podcast has gotten, it's on IHeart Radio and it's on Amazon and other platforms. As big as my podcast has got over time, been doing it since 2020. My sister Laura told me, don't stop doing it, and I kept doing it because she said,

Starting point is 00:11:55 I'm not doing anything. And I'm not doing enough. I'm the people. Is somebody out there, is somebody out there just listening to you who need to hear what you are saying? And I thank God. I thank God so much.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Then I, even after war, died on a death bed, she said, don't stop doing this podcast. I'm sorry. I'm going to try to finish this without crying too much. There are people out there. She said, there are people out there. Don't stop doing this podcast because there are people out there like me. She said, I'm blind.
Starting point is 00:12:59 She said, I'm blinding and I had my husband to write this letter. I told him everything to say. She said, people like me who are blind and can't see. We listen to your podcast. I'm so sorry. She said, please don't stop doing this podcast. And what made me so... emotional and made me cry so much.
Starting point is 00:13:38 I don't want to do this. I'm sorry I'm crying. And she said, but what made me cry what's making me cry right now is she said some of the same things that Laura stood on her deathbed. She said, I'm blind. My husband wrote the letter. And she said, don't ever give up this podcast. And she said, Gina.
Starting point is 00:14:04 And I'm kind of wondering, God, God is that Laura speaking to someone? See, people said people are dead, they're dead. Okay, Laura's gone. She's just with the Lord. But I do believe that her spirit somehow is still here
Starting point is 00:14:26 to encourage me because I need it, you know? I'm sorry, good. He's crying. I ain't mean for this to happen, but the letter just touched me so much. Of all the hundreds of letters that I receive, that particular letter, really just, it's one of the best letters that I have ever received that I've ever read. I can get myself together here. Sorry, I'm so sorry.
Starting point is 00:15:15 But she said some of the same things in her letter that Laura said when Laura was dying, don't give up this podcast. She said because a lot of times her husband, they're driving down the road and, you know, they're doing things. They're busy. She's on her job. You know, she said, I can't sit. She said, people can't sit and watch videos and stuff.
Starting point is 00:15:39 And she's blind, you know, you know how you're blind. She's lost so much of her. sight, not blind, she's lost so much of her sight. I think she lost about maybe 60% of her sight. So she can still see, she has certain kind of glasses where she can still see a little bit. She even have a dog and everything that, you know, that walks around or whatever you call those dogs. But anyway, she said, don't ever stop doing this podcast. She said, and she called me Gina. And when she said that, man, everybody who was around me, it was about three or four people who helped me do things,
Starting point is 00:16:23 they were around and I just, they could just hear me sobbing in the other room. They hurt me sobbing and they rushed in to see, was I okay, you know, because I just burst out screaming, crying. Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God. Do not ever tell me that God doesn't use a person who's gone on to be with him to come back and encourage you. Don't tell me that. People try to say, well, they're dead. They're never coming back.
Starting point is 00:16:56 Okay, I know that they're gone. I know they're gone, okay? I know that. But I know God send my sister back to encourage me. I know he do. He sends her back in dreams and visions. He sent her back to encourage me. But you got those people out there who said, no, they're gone.
Starting point is 00:17:16 She's crazy. She's, she's, she's, she's, and they say all kinds of things because I say that. They say that's, it's a spirit of witchcraft. And it's just all kinds of things people say because I tell them that my sister comes back to encourage me. And I believe that with all in my heart. Reading that letter proved to me that the Lord still. use my sister to come back and encourage me. He really, too. I believe that.
Starting point is 00:17:47 No one ever make me stop believing that Laura, who I'm when I was closest to. Women like twins, nobody's could ever make me believe that she does not come back to encourage me. And of all the times reading letters, I'm reading the month of her memorial. This month, I received that letter the other day. The other day, tell me that's not God.
Starting point is 00:18:16 Tell me that is not the work of God. Tell me, I dare anybody to sell me it's not the work of God. And this is Laura's memorial. She died on July 29, 2020, and God sinned back her spirit all the time to encourage me. Even when I'm feeling low, goddess in her back to encourage me, there are times I felt extremely low. And I know people were praying for me,
Starting point is 00:18:49 but I felt extremely low many, many, many, many times. And I will see her in dreams and visions, and we'd be loving and having fun together like we used to do. And then I'll wake up and I'd just be so mad. But that letter, I'm going to call it D letter. and I'm going to send this podcast to different people that I love and trust and that get my back, you know what I mean? I'm going to send it to everybody because everybody don't follow me, my family don't follow me, they don't support what I'm doing. But I thank God that he put people in place on there who do.
Starting point is 00:19:32 See, God put the people in place that he wants you. You're not going to be with, you know, get the understanding. of the people around you. The Bible tell you that. You're without honor, except in your own country. You're without honor. And I'm not telling people to promote me
Starting point is 00:19:51 and brag on me and put flowers on me. I'm not saying to do that. Guys, please forgive me. I'm still very emotional. I'm still actually crying here. And I'm trying to stop crying. So, but that letter triggered emotions
Starting point is 00:20:07 in my heart. It triggered my heart It made me feel like Laura Was a part of that letter somehow The lady said She's I think she's like 80% or something blind I'm gonna pull the letter up She's 80% blind
Starting point is 00:20:28 She had her husband to write the letter In the words that she said in that letter Oh my Lord Touched my heart It made me want to go go on and on and on and just lift up the Lord in spite of everything around me, in spite
Starting point is 00:20:48 of people in the way that they feel about me. Because my sister Laura, who's gone on to be with the Lord, who's gone on to receive her reward from the Lord, she's gone. But her spirit still comes back to encourage her sister whom she was closest
Starting point is 00:21:08 to. In that letter that lady had her husband to write, touch me, triggered me. God, I thank you. I thank you. I thank you. I thank you, Lord. I thank you, Lord. Jesus. I thank you, Lord. I thank you so much for those people out there who support me. I'm not asking people to support me with money. They do. Okay, I'll go ahead and say it. They do. This podcast, you know, I tell people if they want, if they like to support it, I tell them, yeah. You know, this is just something I say because, you know, a part of my podcast, if you hear it when it come on, there are certain things I say in the beginning.
Starting point is 00:21:58 Ask me if you like to support it. And I don't say, you better support. I don't say that. If you like to make a donation, yeah. do it. If the Lord lead on you to do something for me, do it. That is the Lord. You know, a lot of people would say, oh, she got everything. She got, she don't need anything. But if the Lord lead on your heart to do something for me special, do it, guys. God, I only bless you. Don't worry about what I got or what you think I got. God, I lead you to do something, do it. The letter went on to say that, you know, we want to support you. I'm going to write her back. I'm going to sit down and write her back. I don't generally answer all the mail that I receive. I'm going to have an assistant very soon that can take care of those things for me.
Starting point is 00:22:49 That's why I need an assistant. Because I have so many things that I do, I need a personal assistant. So I'm going to get me one. And the personal assistant is going to write these letters and things for me. They're going to be able to do that kind of stuff for me. They're going to get paid. Don't worry about that. They're not going to be doing this for free.
Starting point is 00:23:08 I'm going to pay them very well. But I thank the Lord for this letter. I thank the Lord for this lady. Her husband wrote the letter. I think the Lord for her sending me the letter because it really encouraged my spirit. It touched my heart. Oh, Lord, it touched my heart so deeply.
Starting point is 00:23:35 And as long as I got breath in my body, as long as I'm here, and able to. I'm going to continue this podcast. In spite of who don't listen to it, I'm making it for the people who do listen. Like her. You see what I mean? There are people, God put the people out there that he wants to listen to you. God put those people in place out there. The Lord did that. The Lord did that. I don't, I don't know this lady. But she knows. me through my audio series. Oh God, I thank you for Sister Laura, God.
Starting point is 00:24:19 I thank you for my sister. My sister is still here with me. I may seem like I'm by myself sometimes. My sister is still with me in spirit through the Lord. And I believe that. I believe that with all in my heart. I'm sorry I broke down to start crying early, you guys. You've got to forgive me for that.
Starting point is 00:24:41 I do apologize, but I had to let you know about that letter. The name of this topic for this podcast, it's going to be called The Letter. I thank God for those out there who support me. I truly appreciate each and every one of you who are listening right now. Who support me, who follow me, who sends me donations. I, you know, I appreciate it, guys. I appreciate you. I don't know who you are,
Starting point is 00:25:15 but I appreciate you. As soon as I get my assistant and everything is in place, I promise you I'm going to go over so many letters, so many things. I'm going to, trust me, trust me. When I say that a new leaf would turn when I get the assistant because I'll be able to read some of those letters that I receive, which is a lot.
Starting point is 00:25:41 There's a lot of them. But I thank God for letting me read that letter because it said, please, please, read. I think it was like, please open, please read. Because I get a lot of letters to people flirting and stuff like that. Now, I'm not interested in all that. People want to flirt and get with you and, you know, I don't pay letters like that any attention. I just send them right to spam. Bop, blah, blah, blah, right to spam.
Starting point is 00:26:10 I'm not out here looking. for a husband. I'm not at here looking for a boyfriend or a mate or a partner. I'm not out here looking for that. I'm not looking for that. I want to make that very clear. I'm not looking for that. And so I try to present myself even holds them in a way that people don't try to flirt. That's why I do audio. That's another reason I do audio because once in a point of time I did a few videos and I got to this where I was, you know, showing my face, doing all of that. And it was dressed pretty decent. I wasn't showing any body parts.
Starting point is 00:26:50 And boy, all of the letters I received, they were so lustful and all the things they wanted to do. And oh, my God, I want to lick you. I want to do all these things. And it was just a wrong kind of message. And I'm not saying everybody get letters like that. Maybe they don't get this type of letters. But when I did a live video, did things live, and I'm not saying them all that.
Starting point is 00:27:14 Let me make that clear. But God led me to do audio, and I'm glad I do audio, because of letters like this. The letter. That's the name of this, why I guess this time. This topic is called The Letter. To that beautiful, wonderful woman who's 80%, I think partially blind, had her husband write that letter, Thank you so much. I'm going to respond back to you.
Starting point is 00:27:42 I'm going to respond back. She wasn't writing me asking for anything. She was writing me encouraging me. It was an encouraging letter. It was not a letter like some of these letters you receive. You can tell a scam letter. I can tell a scam letter. And a lot of those go right to spam.
Starting point is 00:28:03 A lot of people are out here to scam you, believe you, me. A lot of people write these letters. and they try to act like they're for you, and you have to watch out for that, too. Now, it wasn't that type of letter. It wasn't that type of letter at all. Trust me, I know. So I just wanted to say that, too,
Starting point is 00:28:22 because there's a lot of people out here, they're scammers, and they try to write you all this stuff. Most of them, at least almost 99% of them go right to the spam. But I think the lawyer for that letter. It was legitimate. I know it was. Legitimate? Very legitimate.
Starting point is 00:28:43 And I'm not going to tell you how I know it was legitimate, but I researched a few things about the letter. I researched the person. And this person works for a company. And yes, he's a very legitimate letter. The person is very real. So I thank God for that letter. I'm going to end this.
Starting point is 00:29:02 I've gone, oh, my God. I've gone almost 30 minutes. Somebody tell me no. I thank God for everyone who's supporting me this month. It's been a very emotional month for me, but I want to thank the people who have been supporting me. Rorya did justly. I want to thank you guys because they are doing so many things for me this month,
Starting point is 00:29:22 and I appreciate it. I mean, just so many things that they're doing that you guys don't know about yet. But I appreciate them. I really do. I appreciate everybody. Stephen Paul, they got those beautiful pictures you sent the other day he made out of rose petals too. Those are so beautiful. I'm going to have
Starting point is 00:29:42 some of those put in my new house. He sent me a lot of them. It was really beautiful. So thank you, everyone. My speaker, Elder Leonard Davis and his team, his wife, his sister, Dolores, thank y'all so much. Thank you, Pastor Tammy Watson. I thank my two speakers, because the Lord really laid on my heart who to speak for my public. podcast, they're laid on my heart. Everything about this memorial. You know, I have people who are sitting back right now, mad, you didn't choose me to speak. And, you know, they don't even follow my podcast.
Starting point is 00:30:20 They unfollowed me. They unsubscribe for my podcast. But it's not that that made me not choose them. What made me not choose them is the life that they live. You know, I wanted to get someone who's living a clean life. I wanted someone who's going to speak and tell them. stories about the life that's real, not made-up stories. And I thank God for my two speakers. Elder Leonard Davis, that man, the man of prayer. I call him the man of prayer. I think God for
Starting point is 00:30:48 that man. I thank God for his wife. I think God for his sister. And everybody is on his team. I thank God for all of them. I thank God for Pastor Tammy Watson. She got a story that troubles the world and her voice troubles the world when she speak. You'll hear them both. across radio and also hear them both. Yeah, you hear them both. You hear them both. The Lord chose them. I didn't choose them.
Starting point is 00:31:15 The Lord chose them. So again, as I say, if anybody want to get mad and have their lips hooked up, then guess what? Go ahead and do what you want to do. Say what you want to say. I'm not paying you any attention because if you want to get mad with anybody, then you get mad with the Lord. Because he, the one chose the speakers that is speaking for my sister's memorial.
Starting point is 00:31:36 I needed someone that was real, someone that is living the life, not someone that post a bunch of scriptures and just do everything they want to do. Oh, no. Yeah, I'm talking about that. I'm talking about that. I'm not going to put your life in the street. At least I'm not going to do that. But the Lord chose my speakers for me. He chose everything.
Starting point is 00:31:58 He chose the people who are designing posters. He chose everybody that's a part of this memorial. The Lord chose them. not me. And I thank the Lord, because everything I do, I pray and ask God first. And I prayed and ask God to lead and guide me doing this memorial. And look at that letter. The letter!
Starting point is 00:32:21 That's the name of this podcast. Thank you so much. The wonderful woman that sent me that letter, we're going to write it back and just let know it was very encouraging. And I know it's a real letter. It's a real person. It's not a spammer. It's not a scammer. It's real. I researched her. I researched everything about her. And yes, she's real. Thank you, Laura. Thank you, Laura. Thank you, my sister, Laura, for continuing to encourage me.

Starting point is 00:33:32 He wrote it for my radio show. over 10 years ago. And because of the company, I was with, we was at us with one another, didn't want me to use that music. That's why I didn't do radio. I'm going to tell you that story one day.
