Bringing my one-of-a kind energy, as a coach and speaker,

I create

transformational

experiences!

In today's fast-paced and emotionally charged world, the ability to harness and develop emotional intelligence is the cornerstone of personal and professional success.

As an Emotional Intelligence Specialist, I bring a wealth of expertise to help individuals, teams, and organizations unlock their full potential by mastering the art of self-awareness, empathy, and relationship building.

My journey to becoming a professional speaker and coach began in 2015, when I joined the John Maxwell Team, the largest coaching and training company on the planet. That same year I was initially certified as a DISC behavioral consultant. Three years later I was honored and thrilled to be selected as a faculty member for the Maxwell DISC Method, an opportunity that allowed me to share my expertise in behavioral and team dynamics with audiences across the globe.

Working with me means investing in proven approaches that addresses real-world challenges with actionable solutions. As well as gaining exclusive access to my extensive portfolio of transformational programs. Whether it's redefining self-image, mastering communication, or stepping into leadership with confidence, I provide a personalized roadmap for success.

As a small business owner myself—my husband and I own a thriving pizza business—I understand firsthand the challenges that leaders and businesses face.

As a certified expert in brain health, neuroencoding, and influence, I bring cutting-edge strategies and science-backed tools to every session, empowering my clients to make meaningful and lasting changes. Together, we create breakthroughs that not only elevate performance but also transform lives.

My Empowered Life

Created by Paul Martinelli, the Empowered Living Community, is a personal growth FB community of 2.3 million followers. It has became the cornerstone of my journey enabling me to amplify my voice and my purpose.

Through this global platform, which boasts over 2 million followers, I host two impactful shows: Women of Empowered Living and Real Life with Holly and Regina. These shows have connected me with extraordinary individuals, including Olympic athlete Bonnie St. John, Dr. Daniel Amen’s wife Tana Amen, and leaders from the Dallas Cowboys.

In 2022, my collaboration with Paul Martinelli led to the creation of the EQ Project, a transformative program to equip coaches and trainers who want to elevate their impact, grow their expertise, and deliver unparalleled results to their clients. The EQ Project offers emotional intelligence resources, a full suite of world class assessments and a thriving community support system.

Before stepping onto the stage...

and into the coaching arena, my life was shaped by diverse experiences that honed my ability to understand and connect with people. For over 12 years, I worked in medical offices, from family practice to mental health and neurology. These roles taught me the nuances of empathy, adaptability, and leadership—skills that became a foundation for my calling. Twice, I was promoted into leadership positions, where I refined my ability to manage teams and create positive workplace cultures.

Later, a decade-long career with Keller Williams Realty ignited my passion for personal growth and communication. I thrived in a culture of service and connection, earning the prestigious Culture Ambassador recognition and receiving two office culture awards. My time at Keller Williams unveiled my superpower—connecting with people—and inspired me to embrace my passion for speaking. In 2013, as a Toastmasters finalist in the Georgia International Speaking Competition, I realized my voice could make a difference.
