Today we’d like to introduce you to Regina Lawrence.
Hi Regina, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I started my career in a completely different world. I was a lawyer and law professor, and from the outside, my life looked very successful and “put together.” But internally, I was deeply disconnected from myself, chronically stressed, and living in a constant state of nervous system dysregulation without even realizing it.
My healing journey began after experiencing burnout, anxiety, and a deep desire for something more meaningful and aligned. I found breathwork during a period where I was searching for tools that could actually help me feel safe in my own body again, not just intellectually understand healing. Breathwork completely changed my life. It helped me reconnect to myself emotionally, spiritually, and physically in a way nothing else had before.
Over time, I became certified in breathwork and sound healing and eventually made the decision to leave my legal career to build a brand and business centered around nervous system regulation, healing, spirituality, and self-expression. Today, I’m known online as “The Breathy Bitch,” a brand that blends breathwork, humor, spirituality, real-life storytelling, and modern healing in a way that feels relatable and unfiltered.
What started as sharing my own experiences online has grown into a community, live classes, retreats, digital offerings, and a platform where people can learn practical tools to regulate their nervous systems while also feeling seen in the messy, human parts of life. My work is really about helping people come home to themselves — not through perfection, but through honesty, embodiment, and breath.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Definitely not. From the outside, it probably looked like I made a clean, confident transition from law into entrepreneurship and healing work, but the reality was much messier. One of the biggest struggles was untangling my identity from achievement and external validation. I had built an entire life around being “successful” in a very traditional sense, so walking away from that came with a lot of fear, judgment, and uncertainty.
There was also a huge nervous system component to the journey. I didn’t realize how much chronic stress, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and survival mode had been driving my life for years. Learning how to regulate my nervous system and actually feel safe slowing down, being seen, and building a brand around my authentic voice was a process.
Building a personal brand online has also challenged me in ways I never expected. Sharing vulnerably on the internet, talking openly about healing, spirituality, dating, mental health, and transformation can be incredibly exposing. There were moments where I questioned myself constantly or worried about being misunderstood.
At the same time, those struggles became the foundation of the brand. “The Breathy Bitch” was really born from the tension between healing and being human. I didn’t want to create a polished wellness brand that pretended life was always peaceful or perfect. I wanted to create something honest, edgy, relatable, and actually helpful for people navigating real life.
So no, it definitely hasn’t been a smooth road, but every challenge shaped the work I do now and the way I connect with people today.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about All The Things Social ?
My work sits at the intersection of healing, nervous system regulation, spirituality, and authentic self-expression. Through my personal brand, The Breathy Bitch, I help people reconnect to themselves using breathwork, sound healing, embodiment practices, and honest conversations about what it actually looks like to heal in real life. My approach is intentionally different from traditional wellness spaces because I blend deep healing work with humor, storytelling, modern spirituality, and raw honesty. I’m known for making nervous system regulation feel accessible, relatable, and human instead of overly polished or performative.
A huge part of my work is creating experiences that help people feel safe in their bodies again. That includes virtual breathwork classes, retreats, guided meditations, digital offerings, and content centered around emotional regulation, spirituality, relationships, personal growth, and self-awareness. I specialize in helping people understand that healing is not about becoming perfect — it’s about learning how to stay connected to yourself through all of life’s messiness.
At the same time, I’m also the CEO and founder of All The Things Social, a social media marketing agency where we help brands grow through strategic, emotionally resonant content and modern storytelling. We work with a variety of brands, including medical practices, wellness companies, luxury brands, and entrepreneurs, helping them build stronger online communities and create content that actually connects with people. My background as both a creator and strategist allows me to bridge the gap between authentic storytelling and effective marketing.
What sets both of my brands apart is that everything is deeply rooted in human connection. Whether I’m guiding someone through a breathwork experience or helping a business refine its digital presence, my focus is always on creating something that feels real, emotionally impactful, and meaningful.
Brand-wise, I’m most proud of creating something that feels unapologetically authentic. The Breathy Bitch was built from my own healing journey and has grown into a community where people feel seen, understood, and less alone. I’m proud that I’ve been able to take experiences that once felt painful or isolating and turn them into tools, conversations, and spaces that genuinely help other people heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves.
What were you like growing up?
Growing up, I was always curious and hungry to learn. I loved the arts and was a classically trained piano player, which gave me an early connection to creativity, emotion, and expression. Music was one of the first places I learned how to process feelings and escape into something bigger than myself.
At the same time, I grew up surrounded by a lot of addiction and emotional instability, which created a lot of dysregulation in my nervous system from a young age. I became very hyper-aware of people, emotions, and environments early on. I learned how to read a room quickly, anticipate tension, and stay emotionally safe.
But alongside that, I also developed resilience very young. I learned how to adapt, push forward, and create structure for myself even when things felt chaotic. Achievement became one of the ways I created safety, which is a big part of why I became so driven academically and professionally later in life.
I was always a mix of highly disciplined and deeply emotional. I loved learning, questioning things, understanding people, and having conversations that went beneath the surface. Even as a kid, I was never very interested in small talk or fitting neatly into a box.
I also grew up in a more conservative and structured environment, so for a long time I tried to be the “good,” successful, put-together version of myself that everyone expected. But underneath that, there was always a much more expressive, creative, intuitive, and rebellious side of me trying to emerge.
Looking back now, I can see that so much of the work I do today was already there in me from the beginning — the sensitivity, the creativity, the resilience, the fascination with human behavior, and the desire to help people feel understood and connected to themselves.
