Regina Swarn Audio Series Presents - You Bring The Story And I Bring The Questions

Episode Date: August 29, 2026

Fan MailSeason 10 is almost here, and I want to make one thing crystal clear before you ever hit record with me: you bring the story, and I bring the questions. I don’t run these conversations like an interrogation or a checklist. I give you room to speak, to breathe, and to tell your story the way you lived it, then I respond in real time with questions that fit what you’re actually saying. If you’re an artist, an entrepreneur, a minister, an activist, or someone with a testimony, this guest-led podcast format is designed to help you be heard. I also look back at what made the last season hit so hard: guests who came in prepared, ready to share, ready to deliver something meaningful. That includes powerful faith voices, prayer, and testimony moments that stayed with people long after the audio stopped. I talk about why I love hosting ministers who show up ready to go, and why I believe the best podcast interviews happen when the guest isn’t waiting to be “pulled” through the conversation. Then we get real about mindset and podcast growth. If you’ve been thinking about starting a podcast, I push you to stop overthinking and start building, but also to keep going once you begin. I speak on confidence, jealousy, and gatekeeping, and I tell a simple story about people who won’t even share what cologne they’re wearing. That small habit points to a bigger problem, and I want us to do the opposite: share, encourage, and create without fear. I also give love to the creatives behind the scenes, from visuals and posters to my theme song “Reaching for the Stars,” as we gear up new promos. If you want an uplifting podcast space that shuts out the noise and brings you something encouraging, you’re in the right place.

Hey there, I'm Regina Soren. Welcome back and big welcome back to Regina Soren audio series presents.

Yeah, we are. About to start season 10 right here in September. So we have the tip, hitting the tip of the iceberg. Bang. Any sense? Am I making any sense? Are I'm not making any sense or am I sounding crazy or whatever. On Regina Sworn.

You can contact me as Sworn Regina at T-Mell.com. Visit my official website at Regina Sworn.com. I'm going to kind of upgrade my website a little bit. Some things I want to do with that. So I'm going to be kind of upgrading it a little bit. Be on the lookout for that. And I'm so happy that you like those new posters. Everybody's raving about my new posters.

I'm glad you like them. They're created by a company called Royal Digitally. They're online. They kind of advertise a lot for cars and restaurants. And I'm trying to get them to advertise. is their business more with the entertainment industry? Because there are a lot of you out there who are asking me, who did that poster?

Oh, my God. Who did that? So look them up online and hopefully they will start advertising more so entertainment can know where they are, you know. I can do it so much, guys. I know they call me Wonder Woman, but I can do it so much. You know, you got to kind of do stuff. yourself to kind of get yourself out there more because you've got the talent, but you've got to

push yourself out there. So, yeah, the entertainment industry is just waiting for you guys. Yeah. Anyways, season 10 is about to start. Now, as you all know, I have to make sure people understand the way I do things. You come and you tell me your story. You know, I'm not, I'm one of those type of people, and maybe I'm very rare, as letting you tell your story. You know, a lot of people would go and read up on the person and find out this, find out that, you know, da-da-da. I let you come and tell me your story. And when you're ready to do that, then, of course, I'll book you. When you tell me your story or as you're telling me your story, I ask my questions accordingly.

That's the way I do it. It's the way I've did it like that, I did it like that the whole time. And it's been very successful for me to do it that way. So be prepared to come on, tell your story, whether it be about music, if you got a company, be ready to tell me about your company, what you offer, da-da-da, all of that. Of course, I'm going to ask you questions accordingly to what you say. I mean, it's just better for me that way because I received so many emails about people wanting to be on my podcast. But I have to explain to them how I do it.

It's the way I can't explain it any more than letting you know this is how I do it over here. That way, give you a chance to get yourself out there because a lot of times you got people that. that have a podcast, sure, they're going to research the person, da-da-da-da-da, da, da, da, da. But you can't get a word in edge-wise. Well, I'm totally different. You are telling your story. I am asking questions according to what you are saying. That's the way I do it, guys.

That is the way I do it. And the reason I'm so successful with the religion, you know, topics or guests is because they come on ready to get out there and tell their story or whatever they're offering. They come on ready. You know, they're ready to tell their story. and the lady with the rescue cats a lot of the guests who are animal activists or whatever they come on my podcast

and ready to go and I ask questions according to what they are can I say spitting out I ask questions according to what they are saying to me I'll see it that way so so just be ready to tell you

story. When you are ready to do it that way, then I will book you to be on my podcast if I find your story interesting. You know, you got to line up to what my podcast is all about. But most of the times, yeah, it's pretty good. I have to get that out there because sometimes people would say, well, I can't think, I guess because they want you to ask the questions. No, I want you to tell me your story. And I'm going to ask the question according to your, I cannot say that enough. I cannot express that enough that you must tell me your story. You must tell my audience your story.

And then yours truly will ask my questions. Yeah. Anyway, season 10, I'm really excited about it. You know, I've got some wonderful guests. Wonderful guests, you know. I don't want to give it away, though. I was going to say something, but I don't want to give it. give it away. I don't want to give it away. I can't do that. But last season was so beautiful.

Season 9, season 8, season 7. I mean, each season has been awesome. Absolutely awesome. I cannot thank the Lord enough for how well the month of August, I mean July, whatever, sorry. The month of July was just a gym, a diamond. It's beautiful. I mean, those guest speakers, they came on charging, man. They came out of the gates ready to go. That's what I'm talking about. Be ready to tell your story.

Be ready to bring your word. Be ready to talk about your company. Be ready. And I love that. And July was a beautiful, beautiful month, you know, for my sister's memorial. It was the first. It was the first time ever she passed away in July of 2020. But that was the very first time that we did the memorial. And man, it was off the cane. I mean, oh, God. I still got the DJs from the different radio shows

saying, oh my God, to bring back that all. old-time gospel, the music, even when Elder Davis was singing, when you see me come and got him on my mind, I got Jesus on my mind. I mean, the DJ is still saying that. He's still repeating that. That's what you want. That's what I want for your topic, for your podcast to be on the lips of people long after the show is over. And I, I love what happened last month. Oh, my God. With Pastor Tammy Watson, that young lady, oh, my Lord.

Powerful word. Turn. And when you listen to it, it's just, oh, God, so amazing. You know, just totally so amazing. And again, Elder Leonard Davis, I call him the man of prayer. He had his wife, sister Donna Davis, telling her testimony. We had his sister, who also came from the Bible out of romance. She had a story to tell. She had something to say. And boy, they came with power.

They was ready to go. When they came on the podcast, they was ready to go. They wasn't sitting back waiting like, oh, what is she going to ask me? They was ready. and I will have more ministers on because I do realize that they are just raring to go. They're raring to go. And I thank the Lord, I want to give God, I want to give God credit for the success of this podcast, which is why I love having ministers to come on to preach or pray or give testimonies because they got so much to say. And the most important thing, I'm going to say this again,

the most important thing is they come ready. They're not sitting back wondering, uh, what are you going to say? What are you going to ask me? I mean, they're ready. I love that. So I would definitely have more ministers on this podcast. And in season 10, you will hear more ministers. Yay.

So I'm just very thankful, you know. If you're thinking of doing a podcast, just do it. I mean, you know, I'm a person that likes to encourage people. I'm not worrying about you taking my spot or you, if you get out there and your podcast blow up and you get really popular, Bravo, I want to see people succeed. I'm not out here trying to hold back. If someone has a question for me of how to start a podcast or whatever, you know, I share my information. with people because why I'm very confident in the person that I am so I'm not worried about you

getting out here taking over my spot baby listen I don't worry about that the door that the Lord has opened for me no man or woman or organization can close that door no one can close it because the Lord opened that door for me so therefore I have no jealousy of anyone else I want To see people succeed, but too often people are worried about what I can't share my work with them because they may come out and do better than me. Man, if you don't get away from here with that crap, I don't like that negativity, so I don't bring negativity around me. You know what that reminds me of? And I would say this.

Someone has a really good smelling cologne or perfume, and you say, oh, that smells so good. You notice they'll hurry up and say thank you and then they'll try to get away real quick because they're thinking that you are going to ask them what are they wearing so you can go out and get it. But whenever people tell me that I got on something that smell good, which is all the time, I say, yeah, I'm wearing da-da-da-da-da-da. I don't mind sharing that with you because every person going to have a different scent When they put on a cologne, when they take a shower, when they take a bath, every single oil that you put on your body or lotion or cologne or perfume, it's going to be different on your body because you are a different person than me.

So I'm not worried about if I got on something that smells good. Hey, I'll tell you what it is. A lot of times you notice though people, they will hurry up. They didn't want to tell you what they're wearing. not realizing or not even thinking for a moment that it's going to smell different on them than it is on me or other person. That's what I'm saying. People are so caught up in jealousy trying to hold back when they can help you do something, achieve something. They're so busy trying to hold back because they're worried about you upping them or doing better than them.

I don't worry about stuff like that because I'm so confident in the woman that the Lord has made me that I don't worry about what's going on around me. And maybe that's why my platform is so successful. I have a huge platform, but maybe that's why my podcast is so successful and how the Lord is blessed it. because you can only compete with you. Don't worry about the person over here, or the person down there, or the person yesterday, or the one's just getting started.

Don't worry about that. Just think about what the Lord is doing for you. And make it better every day. Now, don't start a podcast and then stop. Now, don't do that. But if you're thinking about starting a podcast, just be ready to do it and go and go and go and go and go and go. Don't stop for no reason, you know.

So I just wanted to come here. Oh my Lord, this is what? Today is August, I think the 30th, I believe it is, if I'm not mistaken. So we were definitely at the end of the month. So I wanted to come on here with one last podcast for August. I've kind of been on the low, low for the month, but that's because I got some outside ventures that I'm going to come on. working on some outside businesses that I'm starting up and, you know, things like that.

So I've been really busy other than my podcast. I do still have a life, you know, so I'm busy doing that as well. So thank you all so much for your patience. My YouTube, guys, listen, I know I got beautiful posters over there right now. Go look at my posters. Go and enjoy the posters. go and enjoy whatever. But September I should have that all set up.

I'm putting some beautiful, wonderful videos over there. I like stuff that's encouraging. I don't like all the going back and forth. It's so much hatred going on right now. You're not going to find that in my podcast. You're not going to find that. You're just not going to find that in my community. You know, I want people to come over.

I had people to say, I know when I listen to your podcast, I'm going to get an encouraging word. You know, even if it's just listening to your smooth voice, one lady told me, she said, I know when I come there that I can just shut the outside world off, at least for 15 minutes, at least for 30 minutes or an hour. When I come to your podcast, I know. that is a place where I can be uplifted. And that's what it's all about with me. Whether you're coming on telling your story about your music,

how you got started, or whatever, you know, I want people to be uplifted because I am the type of person who likes to talk of being uplifted. Not all the stuff in the news, not all the hatred. I'm not about that. If you're looking for that on my podcast, you must immediately go elsewhere. You're not going to find that on my podcast.

You're not going to find that. Okay, I think I've said enough. Again, I like to thank the composer of my theme song, Reaching for the Stars, Chris Murphy Elliott. Listen, check him out online, guys. He's really awesome. He's a great, great, great talent. You know, you don't hear enough about people like Chris.

You really don't. I know right now you've got the streaming going on, Spotify streaming, and they've actually taken over. But when you are an OG, when you are the one who started this, you've got to be confident in who you are, as I was saying. You're confident in who you are and what you offer. There's nothing no one else can do. Yeah, it might be a little bit slow now

because of the way that Spotify and all of them are doing, but you still have something to offer because you are unique in your own special way. And I like to encourage Chris because he is really talented. I mean, he offered that jazzy, whatever you want. He offered that. And my theme song that he wrote for my radio show over 10 years ago, now it's been like,

like 11 years ago. He composed that for my radio show. And it's still gone. It's more popular now than it was then. The radio show, I wasn't too happy with the radio show. I mean, I wasn't happy with it. You know, I don't want to go into that. I don't want to bash anybody.

I'm not here to talk about anything or anybody or partners or whatever. I wasn't happy with my radio show. But I'm so thankful that that song, reaching for the stars, is more popular now than it was 11 years ago. More popular. And I'm so happy that when people hear the theme song, they immediately just, oh, Regina Soren Audio Series presents. So I'm going to get with my friend from England, Steve, Bernard Scanan, and we're going to create some new promo with my new posters we're going to create some

new I think 15, 22nd audios little videos to put out there for season 10 and going forward. I'm thankful for him to Stephen Rskine in England he's really awesome. Y'all got to check him out. I don't know if he got a business page up or not.

I wish he did. But anyway, he's really good. It's really, really good. She's working with me on some other things behind the scenes. I don't want to talk about that, but he's really, really good. I got to give him a shout out.

Stephen Paul. I've been knowing Stephen Paul before my dad passed away. So I've been knowing Stephen Paul since 2003, I believe it was. Is it? Is it 2003, I believe? Wait, what? I don't know. I think, I think, I've been knowing Stephen Paul a long time.

I'm so thankful for him as well. So I got some great people that work with me behind the scenes, and I'm just, I couldn't do it without them. You know, Murphy Elliott creates, Chris Murphy Elliott's dad, he's an artist. He creates some very beautiful artwork. He got a lot of my pictures all over his sight. I mean, and I've ordered some of the mugs and, I mean, I mean, I'm. his work is outstanding. And he was on my show, too, three times.

And he's going to come back. And he has a great story how he started, you know. I had to do a one, two, three with him. So he's going to come back. He's got some more to talk about. We like to just talk to each other. Right, right, Murphy? So anyways, I'm going to go now and turn out.

Thank you all for being patient with me. God bless you all. I appreciate you. And I want to say goodbye to August. I think we got one more day in August, and then August is all gone. So thank you, August. You've been wonderful. But we're ready to start season 10, September.
