In this powerful episode of the Live Well and Thrive podcast, I sit down
with Regina LaFrance, an extraordinary woman whose resilience and strength
are truly inspiring. Regina opens up about her harrowing experience
surviving childhood abuse at the hands of a trusted authority figure and
the profound impact it had on her life. Despite the immense trauma, she has
emerged stronger, choosing to channel her past into advocacy and healing
for others.
Regina discusses her book, Shayla, which dives into her painful past while
tracing her path to self-acceptance and empowerment. She stresses the
importance of recognizing signs of distress in children and raising
awareness to help prevent abuse. Her story is not just about survival but
about thriving—and through her nonprofit, the Ladybug Movement, she’s
helping others do the same.
She also emphasizes the importance of speaking out and supporting others
who have faced similar challenges. Regina’s message is clear: healing is
possible, and with courage and support, anyone can overcome their past.
Join us for an episode that’s both heart-wrenching and uplifting, as we
talk about the journey from victimhood to empowerment and the critical
importance of listening to and believing in children’s voices.
