I know it already, not justbecause I'm psychic, but because

have ever had in my decade ofbeing a business psychic coach,
but she's one of my favoritehumans.
Let me introduce you to ReginaWamba.

I am so excited to introduceyou to Regina.
Regina, welcome, hello hello,hello.
Regina Wamba (01:46):
It's so awesome to be here.
Amber Annette (01:49):
I first don't want to rip you apart but at the
same time I feel like that biodoes nothing for you Knowing you
, how a creative genius you are.
I joked about this on one of myother episodes.
I think most people know I'm ahuge game of nerd and fan.
(02:10):
It's always on repeat.
It's the only thing I everwatch on TV.
Actually, I was like I want oneof those introductions like
Daenerys, like Breaker of Chains, mother of Dragons, and I read
your bio and I'm like mwah, mwah, because you are so magical,
seriously, like you and me havetalked about this so many times,
(02:33):
kind of like we did not startoff in the best place in life
and for us to both be assuccessful as we are and as far
along as we are in life and inbusiness, I just would love for
you to kind of tell our audiencea little bit about you and
start with your story whereveryou feel, I'm going to say a
little bit uncomfortablestarting.
Regina Wamba (02:53):
OK, well, first off, let me just say that
writing a bio is really reallyhard, so give me some grace, I
need to have that given tosomeone else who might be able
to raise the bar.
Yeah, because I officially nowsuck at bio writing.
That happened forever.
(03:15):
I thought it was like oh wow,new York Times and Times Square.
That part was magical.
Don't give a ride.
I can't exactly call myself agenius, because that's a little
arrogant of myself.
Amber Annette (03:29):
Well, you didn't.
I called you a genius for you,yeah, but nobody's going to know
that if they're reading my biowritten by Amber.
Regina Wamba (03:38):
Amber says I'm a genius.
So yeah, we're going to have tobrainstorm that one, because I
really don't know what's lackingthere A magical human being,
anyway.
Amber Annette (03:54):
So I guess my journey you guys, you've
witnessed a lot of my journeyyeah, we've been together for a
long time I think like eightyears, that we've been working
together off and on and thatwe've been connected.
That'd be longer than that girl.
Regina Wamba (04:08):
It's got to be like 10 years now.
Amber Annette (04:11):
Pretty sure.
Well, I'll be celebrating my10-year anniversary coming up
here, and it was probably abouttwo years into that, so I could
even go back.
I'll find the exact date of ourfirst session together, so, but
I'm going to guess.
Eight years about that.
Yeah, something feels longer,yeah, which is basically like
seven past lives Go.
Regina Wamba (04:33):
So I mean I've been in business since.
I mean, technically, I wasdoing the whole sole pride or
ship in like 2006 when Igraduated from college and I was
like picking up whatever Icould.
What did you go to college for?
Graphic design?
So visual communications.
I graduated in 2006, what?
(04:55):
Three weeks after my daughterwas born.
So I was carrying my infant inmy carrier little car seat thing
at my portfolio show.
That was interesting, very,very interesting.
But I did it pregnant and allcollege pregnant babies crazy.
I was just picking up whateverI could because the whole main
(05:19):
goal was I wanted to work formyself and when you get into the
grind of a corporate world it'sreally hard to trust yourself
enough to get out of it.
Amber Annette (05:34):
Well, yeah, I mean, you're addicted.
I read this quote once where itwas like the three worst
addictions that you can have inlife are heroin, sugar and a
paycheck.
And that's what you're talkingabout there.
You're hitting the third one,which is a paycheck, because
that's what corporate gives us.
It gives us this false sense ofsecurity, this false sense of I
(05:56):
have this direct deposit.
It's given me safety.
It's coming in every two weeks.
It makes it really difficult towalk away from a role like that
, especially being a new momhaving all the things.
Regina Wamba (06:09):
So I did corporate for like two and a half years,
three years, something like thatand luckily I didn't have to
trust myself.
The universe trusted me for it.
So it kicked me to the curb bygiving me a pink slip when I was
pregnant with my seconddaughter and said well, you said
you wanted this, go cry yourtears to somebody else.
(06:32):
So I lost my security paycheck,but luckily it broke the
addiction.
So now I'm addicted tosomething else, making my own
pathway.
So I don't know.
I started at literal groundzero.
I cried my eyes out when I gotthat pink slip, but I called a
(06:54):
friend and the universe is afunny bitch.
The friend said well, it'sabout time.
We've been waiting for you tostart your own business.
And then, as I'm crying,driving home in a snowstorm, I
got a voicemail that says hey, Iwanna hire you to do all my
branding for my business.
(07:15):
I got your name from a friend,so it was the-.
Evidence yeah it was theevidence.
So I was like, hey, I want this, but I'm not really gonna do it
on my own.
And then the universe was likewell, let me just kick you out
onto the curb and you find yourway.
And finding my way was likewell, here's your first client.
So you know, since about 2006,I've been just playing and
(07:38):
Almost 20 years, yeah.
Amber Annette (07:40):
God Isn't that crazy?
I don't even think of it.
Regina Wamba (07:44):
I know right, my kid is 17 years old, so yeah,
and I started, you know,obviously right when she was
born, as a graduate at school.
So I graduated high school,bought myself cameras, started
doing you know senior pictures,and I was reading a ton and it
snowballed into what I have now,which is kind of this mosh pit
(08:06):
of creativity, which I love.
I have a lot ofmulti-passionate.
I know you're gonna hate me forthat one.
No, not at all, not hate, nothate.
It's just like she yells at meall the time.
It's like just direct yourenergy in better ways.
(08:26):
I get yelled at by Amber.
Yes, it happens Only with love.
Amber Annette (08:33):
I yell with love let's like-.
Regina Wamba (08:36):
It's love in the best ways.
In the best ways she'll kickyour ass.
So I have a lot of creativeadventures.
I love it, all of inclusive.
I'm in the publishing industryand so you know if that I do
branding for books and authors.
You know the intertwinedphotography and video and my
(08:57):
graphic design degree, so I getto make entrepreneurs, authors
and publishing entities lookamazing.
Amber Annette (09:06):
Yeah, yours, I mean your design skill is just
incredible.
One of the things that I loveto talk about on the show and
have always loved to talk aboutwith my clients and just in
general, is the no plan B.
You know, when you takeyourself back to like that pink
flip, you know, since then youhave kept going.
(09:26):
You have found ways to likeredesign, realign, reimagine
your business time and timeagain the services you have, the
gifts that you have and you'vekept going.
And I'm always fascinated bywomen especially, who don't have
(09:46):
this plan B.
There's no plan B in business.
When you have thatentrepreneurial spirit.
You just keep going.
What would you say are some ofthe things that have just kept
you going and not having thatplan B, a backup plan for if the
business doesn't work out foryou?
Regina Wamba (10:03):
There's no other choice.
So I get the hold, not no planB, because I'll tell you right
now, working in corporate wasslowly like I don't know if
you've watched Harry Potter, butthe mentors that take your like
Back in the thaw, yeah,absolutely.
I was in this like gray wallsdepressive state that there was
(10:26):
no creativity, there was noinspiration.
It was literally sucking thelife out of me, and so plan B
looks like that.
So I'm like running far,fucking away from that.
I'm like I do not want recycledair, I do not want gray
cubicles, I do not want thisfunnel of imagination that I
(10:48):
have to stay within theseconstraints and I personally,
that's my fuel to continueworking on my business, because
I can't see the alternativebeing creative.
I can't see it setting my soulon fire.
I can't see it being the fuelthat I need, personally, on a
(11:08):
sole cellular level, to continueworking.
Like I think I would actuallylike just fade away into the
darkness and you guys wouldnever see me again.
Like just I can't, like,there's no other choice.
I know, yeah, I feel it.
Amber Annette (11:25):
Sometimes it's hard to like put into words and
I guess, if I had to summarizeanything of what's kept me going
and not having a plan B, it'spassion, my passion for serving
and for channeling and forworking with women in business.
It's so strong, like I guess myplan is plan P, which is
(11:47):
passion, and I know that youkind of feel that similar way.
Regina Wamba (11:52):
The thing is, what really gets me is like the
excitement of the untold stories.
So when I'm creating, I'mcreating for the purpose of
seeing it have a ripple effect,and I think I put that in my bio
, which I thought was genius,thank you very much.
But the ripple effect ofcreating for other people to
(12:17):
create, that is where, like Ifind it.
So I mean, we draw inspirationfrom everything and everywhere
and that's my drive.
My drive is to create for otherripple effects of creation.
So if I create a cover designand that cover design goes on to
inspire a book and those bookshit the readers, the readers
(12:40):
then go and make art and theymake oh, I get it Cosplay, and
it's just this ripple effectthat is found to me and that
gives me, like the truth bumps,and I'm so excited just at the
possibilities of how my art cantouch people so I often joke
that I have like a psychic MLM,because everybody I come in
(13:03):
contact with become psychic.
Amber Annette (13:05):
It's just like it's part of my gift.
It just like it literallyactivates people, and so I'm
always joking, I'm like, oh,you're like a tier one, like
you're now off, like activatingother people to be psychics too.
So I get the ripple effectAbsolutely and that's.
I mean, there's just some of usthat that's what we're here to
do.
We're here to make that biggerimpact.
(13:26):
And that is like it just startswith like one piece of art, it
just starts with one story.
It just starts, you know, with.
You know, I think about that.
Very first reading I did allthe time Like if I hadn't been
brave, if I hadn't taken a riskand if I hadn't been like I'm
(13:46):
going to just see what happens,man, like the ripple effect,
like would have never got totake effect.
So you know.
So I heard you talk a littlebit about being multi passionate
.
What do you think is thegreatest gift in that and what
do you think is the greatesthindrance in that?
Because I know a lot of myaudience listening, including
(14:08):
myself, multi passionate, allthese ideas coming in.
I mean I could sit and talkabout ideas with you all day
long.
With probably I mean I couldprobably match you and your
energy.
Regina Wamba (14:19):
There's another one.
I'm how many ideas do you have?
I have a treasure chest ofnotebooks and it's just a
continuous stream of ideas andstuff that you want to create
and bring to life.
And the hindrance is that one,you're only one person.
(14:41):
So, yeah, creating all thethings take one would either
take a team of unicorns Toactually magically create, but
it also can hinder you in makinga pathway in in very strong
areas.
So the the beautiful part ofbeing multi passionate is that
(15:03):
one you can never get bored.
You can never get bored.
You're always.
You always have something youcan create because you have such
a flow and abundance of flow ofideas and passions that can
entertain, you entertain, youbring, you know, that passion
and joy to the world, or theripple effect to the world.
(15:25):
There's an endless supply, likeI'm honestly have an endless
supply of of creativity andideas that I can bring to the
world.
The hindrance is not being ableto do it physically, the like.
Physically my mind creates themall the time, like there's
pathways and and to do lists andtasks and everything to create
(15:47):
them, but physically I'm justnot able to.
Amber Annette (15:51):
So you're right here on the spot.
I, I have an idea for us.
I'm going to put it out thereright now.
Let's, let's hear.
This is how.
This is how my gift works,right?
So, not too long ago, I sold oneof my ideas that I had
literally probably very early inmy business, about 10 years in.
(16:11):
I sold it and I made $20,000,and I've never sold an idea
before, and it was somethingthat just I kept it, I'd kept
the dot com, I'd like all of thethings right.
And I found the right person,and I was like you know, I have
this thing that I used to do,and it was a program and I have
all the, the assets, I haveeverything for you would.
(16:33):
Would you be interested in it?
And I was like, do you wantthat?
And she was like oh my gosh,like the, the way she lit up, it
was just amazing.
Ended up, she bought it, andthat's that's what.
That's what she ended up buying.
So, as you were just talking,though and I mean this is in
true the business psychicfashion, because one of the
things that I do on here is giveall of my, all of my guests are
(16:54):
reading what if we created asite where people could come and
buy ideas.
Regina Wamba (17:03):
And I had this idea for about 10 years but I
didn't know how to create it.
Like I was like I don't knowhow to create it because there's
a whole process of not beingripped off.
How do you, how do you protectyour shit while also giving a
tease of like ideas?
But yeah, it's been in my, it'sbeen in my arsenal and my
(17:24):
treasure cho for a while.
Amber Annette (17:27):
I mean I always think about it, like when I go
through my notebooks.
You know, when I go through,like my past things, when I like
I mean if you saw my desk rightnow, it's a creative frenzy of
color and gel pens and post itnotes and I mean it just it's
endless.
And I'm so grateful for theideas that come to me and
through me.
I'm going to table this and I'mgoing to come back to our
(17:48):
audience and let them know,because this is this is
something that I have beenthinking about for a long time.
How do I take some of theseideas that have been sitting on
the back burner and give them topeople that can ignite it and
go make a ripple effect in theworld with it?
Regina Wamba (18:01):
So we'll table this one.
Regina, we'll, we'll see wherethis one goes for us.
We're going to have abrainstorm session.
Let's make it so when we'retalking about ideas.
Amber Annette (18:13):
I am always fascinated how ideas come to
people like what it feels like,like share with us a little bit
like what does that look andfeel like for you when, like,
new ideas start to come in?
Regina Wamba (18:27):
Oh my gosh, it's like a tornado, I mean you know,
it goes more specific like whatdoes it feel?
Amber Annette (18:34):
like you know.
Regina Wamba (18:38):
It's like you're about to drop from the high
tower at Valley Fair or you knowlike you get really.
You're like you get reallyexcited.
And then it's like you get thisreally excited feeling in your,
in your stomach and then itlike oh, into your throat and
you're like, well, I can't, Ican't even like articulate this,
(18:58):
because it's moving so fastthrough your body and you're
it's, it's, it's like anexplosion of color and paint and
pictures and it's just movingso quickly.
With this feeling, we're likeright in the right in the
stomach, like, and then it likemoves up to my, into my like
(19:18):
throat, where I'm like I need to, I need to get this out.
And that's where I'm like, okay, I need to write this down or
send myself a voice note orsketch it out or something,
because it's stuck, it's likestuck in here in my throat and
I'm like I need to get it out.
I need to express this some way.
I need to get it.
That's usually how it happensfor me.
So I'm like I get an idea, hitsthe stomach, travels up to the
(19:40):
throat, and that's when I knowI'm like okay, I need to get
this out.
I need to move this energy outoutside of myself.
I use my phone notes a lot.
I never was a like what is it?
Habitual person, like this ismy routine.
But I consistently use my phonenotes a lot for ideas,
(20:03):
especially like when I'm walking, exercising, shall, showering,
that's the fun part.
And then like bed, like rightbefore bed, and stuff, stuff,
like that's the fun part of me.
But I could be even just likelistening to music and one line
of the lyric will will throw meinto an idea, yeah, an
inspiration of something.
Amber Annette (20:22):
So it's I mean I think that I personally believe
like ideas kind of come forwardin a couple of ways, like when
you're describing like you feelit in your stomach.
I don't feel ideas like that atall, like it almost for me
happens, like it feels like aburst in in what some people
(20:43):
would say, like like where yourthird eye is, like I always feel
it, like at the top of my, likeit.
I can like literally feel italmost like come out of the out
of the universe and like downthrough the top of my crown and
like into my being.
I'm always fascinated like Idon't I mean like I'm the
intuition queen Everybody talksabout, like that gut feeling and
(21:05):
I'm like what the hell is thisgut feel?
I never physically feel anythingin my sacral section and like
my, it's never a gut feeling.
I don't get that sensation.
So, and I didn't realize untilnot too long ago that it's
because I well, like supposedly,if you follow human design at
all, it's because I'm aprojector and the way that my
(21:26):
projector is is I don't havethat.
It's just like not in my actualhuman design, right?
I don't physically have aresponse to things in my stomach
.
Regina Wamba (21:36):
I'm always reader, so I actually have no idea
where I would you that that'sexactly where you would feel it.
Amber Annette (21:43):
Yeah yeah, probably, like.
I think it's like a say and Iam not a human design expert by
Any means I think it's, it'sinteresting.
It's like it's just not my gift, like there are people that are
very gifted at it.
It's not my gift, but I'malways fascinated because some
ideas.
I feel like I'm on this likeadventure sometimes with the
(22:06):
universe where it gives me theseideas and it's like, well, you
don't, you're next until youtake action on this idea or
until you release this idea.
I do believe that, like, someideas are for one reason and one
reason only, to actuallyfeeling, because for me, I
(22:27):
cannot think of a, of a feelingthat I really love more than
when an idea comes to me.
I mean it feels like a businessorgasm.
It feels just like this wave ofeuphoria of like oh my gosh,
that is so good.
Like I just instantly, you knowlike go to my notes that get
out my job, like I can't notstop what I'm doing in that
(22:50):
moment.
I just it's one of my favoritehuman experiences is feeling and
hearing and seeing a new ideacome in.
I get them on the plane like Ijoke all the time.
I'm like I should just hop on aplane and I don't even care
like where the hell I'm flyingto, just for the sake of having
the space for the idea to comein, because the plane, the
(23:13):
shower, oh man, it's made me,literally made me millions.
It's amazing.
Regina Wamba (23:18):
Yeah, I agree, like the ideas that come in on a
plane.
I don't know why, why the plane, but the plane has always been
a good one for me to when I'mtraveling alone, when I'm with
my kids or my spouse.
Amber Annette (23:32):
it's like yeah, I agree, it's like a dedicated
space for downloads or something.
It's just it is.
It's just a.
It's just amazing.
I think I'm going to startdoing VIP days for clients on a
plane.
I'm going to book us just tofly together.
It doesn't even matter, we justneed the plane space for the
(23:53):
strategy and the ideas, becauseit's magic, it is just magic.
So how do you use yourintuition and business?
Regina Wamba (24:08):
Okay, I see things intuitively.
When I'm connecting, I seethings in pictures.
So everything's in movingpictures.
So I see, when I'm connectingwith a client or like where
we're brainstorming those ideas,everything comes in pictures.
So it's like not, it's notthoughts and ideas, it's
(24:33):
pictures.
That's how I'm connecting andutilizing my gift, because then
I can see what I need to dointuitively.
Amber Annette (24:44):
So you're a clairvoyant creator.
Yeah, so the gift ofclairvoyance is, you know, it's
often called like, you know,being able to see, and I think
what a lot of times people don'tget with.
That is, the visions that runthrough our mind, those like it
can almost look like.
I always think of them as likemovie trailers, almost Like I'll
(25:05):
get these like quick flashesand it could be my life,
somebody else's life, one of myfriend's life, typically my
client's life.
That like is or business.
It just is like this beautifulflash and quick play and that's
what it is.
It's being a clairvoyantcreator of being able to take
that vision.
Then that comes and probablyyou know somehow translate it.
Regina Wamba (25:29):
Yeah, yeah that's.
I mean I will, literally I'llbe reading from my like clients
you know voice notes or you knowideas, or we sit down for
coffee or whatever, and I'm like, as they're speaking or they're
talking about this whateverproject that's lighting them up
in the moment that they'retrying to hire me for, I'm like
(25:52):
pulling that information and inmy head I'm seeing colors, I'm
seeing elements, I'm seeing moodand and, if you know, video,
like I'm seeing moving pictures.
Like it's a phenomenon and Idon't know really how to like
articulate what goes on.
Do you think everybody has that?
(26:13):
No, or do you?
I do not.
I don't believe that everyonehas that.
Actually, some people thinkit's actually a phenomenon to me
because I'm like how, how doyou not see pictures?
Some people cannot see pictures, they just see words and, yeah,
I don't know Thoughts.
It's weird.
I'm like how do you not seepictures?
I see pictures all the time,but I'm also an artist.
(26:35):
Everything comes in picturesand I digest and give back
pictures.
So I guess it makes sense to me.
Amber Annette (26:43):
I mean, I really believe wholeheartedly Well,
number one I believe everybodyhas intuition.
I believe everybody has knowing, that deep inner sense of
knowing.
In fact, just teaser, reginaactually created the book cover
for my book that's coming outand one of the very first lines
(27:04):
in the book is our knowing iswhat connects us, the one thing
that every single human beinghas on this planet.
It's the only thing thatactually connects us all because
it's the only thing that everysingle one of us has.
And if you really let that sinkin, it's like, wow, our knowing
, our intuition, it's like theone thing that can unite us all.
(27:28):
Everybody has that as a gift andI believe everybody has access
to the same creativity that weget, the same ideas that we get.
I believe everybody has access.
What I believe is people fromaccessing it are their belief,
(27:49):
their confidence, their abilityto follow curiosity.
And I used to you know Ifreaking and she got the worst
rap for following that whiterabbit down the rabbit hole and
yet the world that is there,like I just associate so much
(28:11):
more with her than I used to,with what I don't know, marie
Forleo or successful people inbusiness.
I love more to like that storythan anything else lately,
because that's where the magicis and that's where the passion
is, and I really, really believethat the passion is what
(28:34):
activates the creativity, and itcomes from being curious, you
know.
Regina Wamba (28:40):
Curiosities lead to calling it's actually perfect
, like I have never thought ofit that way, but I'm definitely
following the rabbit hole andprobably 17 rabbit holes.
But that's okay, because I'malways curious.
Amber Annette (28:56):
It is okay, I think that's the thing that,
like, especially when we talkabout being multi-passionate,
when we talk about having all ofthese ideas you know I tell
people all the time it doesn'tmean that you are saying yes to
one and no to the other ones.
It means you're choosing thefirst one that has the most
potential behind it, the onethat, like, is turning you on,
(29:20):
the one that's lighting you upthe most.
That's just the one we're gonnastart with.
It doesn't mean that the otherones can't come to the world and
let's be honest, like, someideas just aren't meant to.
You know, I have this, like Ijust recently moved, so I don't
have it next to me right now,but I have this little pink wire
basket and it is full ofpost-it notes and literally a
(29:42):
couple napkins, some papers,like just random stuff, where I
call it my idea graveyard,because it's where ideas that
I've had I just they sit andthey sit and they brew and they
brew and I just can't takeaction on it.
I just can't bring it to theworld.
I take it and I put it insidemy little idea graveyard and
it's not sad.
(30:03):
Sometimes I feel a little sadlooking at it because they were
amazing ideas.
It just wasn't the right time,or whatever it was.
Regina Wamba (30:10):
So maybe they weren't just for you, though
Maybe they weren't for me,they're meant to be on our new
website by myideacom.
Amber Annette (30:24):
Yeah, that's where they're meant to go.
That's why I've held onto themall this time.
Regina Wamba (30:29):
But I mean.
Amber Annette (30:29):
I do.
I think that ideas are.
I think some ideas also havecome to me just because in that
moment I needed to feelsomething, and ideas make me
feel a way that nothing else onthis planet has ever made me
feel and that activates afrequency and that activates
(30:52):
excitement and curiosity andplay.
And when you are in that stateand when you are in that
vibration, oh, you aremanifesting at your highest
level.
Regina Wamba (31:02):
Amen.
Honestly, I feel the same, likeit's just, it's energy, it's
fuel, it's fuel that it's likeoh, engines are revving now,
like now we can pull in thehorsepower and get going.
That sometimes ideas are justmeant to be fuel for the fire.
Like you were at Embers, nowyou're, I cuss a lot, now you're
(31:26):
blazing, you're blazing, right,you can, you've got the engines
revving, you can go now.
And ideas, I feel like if youcan't, you know, physically
bring it to the world orwhatever, it's still an idea,
let it incubate, let it sit, letit put it in a place where it
can be, you know, thought about,revered, thanked, because those
(31:50):
things are the ones that maybecontinuously give you something
else, maybe it's a spin-off ofsomething else, like the
possibilities are endless andthe fuel is has untapped
potential.
Amber Annette (32:02):
Really, and it's super amazing when ideas that
have been you know, I mean, Istill have ideas that are making
me money to this day that I hadfive, six, seven, eight, nine,
10 years ago.
That's pretty, you know, that'spretty impressive and I just I
believe, I hope if anybody takesanything away from this episode
(32:25):
, it's man, trust your ideas.
They're coming to you andthey're coming to you for a
reason and instead of howingthat idea, just allow the energy
of that idea to take hold andman go down as many rabbit holes
as you can.
There's just all kinds ofwonderlands we ain't no there
for you All kinds ofpossibilities, all kinds of
(32:45):
interesting magical realm thatLiterally the portals are
everywhere, yeah.
Regina Wamba (32:50):
I agree you can stuck with anyone any rabbit
hole, any dimension, at any timeand pick up whatever you want
it is.
It's like a creative wonderland, or wonderlands out there, it's
everywhere in everything.
Amber Annette (33:05):
I'm with you, girl, and cheers to like us both
continuing on our journey toactivate that and others to get
curious and go down those rabbitholes, so oh yeah, oh my gosh,
it lights me up.
Regina Wamba (33:17):
I get so excited.
I'm like when I can createsomething that inspires
something else, I should.
It's like I don't know, it'slike gives me all the happy, yes
.
Amber Annette (33:32):
All right.
So next step here I'm gonna tapin and true the business
psychic fashion and I'm gonnagive you a business reading kind
of what I sense and see for you, for we'll see what the
universe brings to me through me.
You've experienced my giftbefore, so you know how this
goes.
And then I have a reallyimportant question to ask you
Are you ready?
Which one?
First I'm gonna tap in and giveyou a couple like three
(33:56):
different things I sense and seefor your business this year.
So what's interesting is thefirst thing that I see is like
this spotlight ring light camera.
I really feel like I see sometype of like summit or some type
(34:22):
of like panel of speakers and Iwould really love for you if
that I can't quite tell if it'syou hosting it or if you get the
invitation to join.
I think what's going to happenis either a I think it's OK, the
universe saying it's both, soit's saying both are actually
(34:42):
going to happen.
You're I'm not sure which one'scoming first Either a you're
getting asked to speak on asummit and you get inspired to
then go and host your own, orvice versa.
But that feels very soon, likesomething like September of this
year and so we're recordingthis actually August 31st of, so
that's coming like next month.
So that's the first thing.
The next thing is January,february.
(35:04):
There is a trip that you'regoing to take.
I see palm trees.
That must be someplace likeCaribbean, tropical, and I'm
going to say, like you have likesome type of like spiritual,
you ever seen those?
Like you know those times wherelike people like are like
shaking and they're having likethis, like break, like you know,
(35:27):
and like churches and I don'tknow what those are called.
But you're going to havesomething like this.
You're going to have somethinglike this.
I would say in like Februaryish, like and there's I don't
know like if it feels to mealmost like I don't know if
you'd be doing like Iowaska orsomething like that, but I
definitely feel like that isneeded and it dramatically
(35:51):
change.
Like February of 2024 is goingto be a me it might be the
beginning of March, I'm notquite sure that I'm kind of
seeing both here.
It is going to change the restof your life.
I own that and claim that righthere and right now and I do
follow up episodes, so I can'twait to like bring the system
back and see what happens, sothat that is 100 percent certain
(36:13):
.
And then the other thing that'sgoing to happen is I see you
signing a contract like a reallybig contract with I'm going to
say I'm not sure if it's Amazonor a new publisher or if you
start your own.
I'm going to even say like abranch of a publishing, like I
(36:37):
see the title director, likecreative art director, and that
feels like the end of 2024.
I'm going to say like October,and that isn't just like a
contract, it is a partnershipthat allows you that girl like
that allows you to really,really really have the ripple
(36:59):
effect say 10 X your existingincome and still allow you to be
in your.
I feel like all of your effortsyou have put your heart, your
soul, your time, your energy,your money is about to come into
fruition, really around the endof 2024, and it's not going to
(37:23):
be as hard anymore.
It just something is reallyshifting for you right now.
It would be as hard anymore.
Regina Wamba (37:30):
I fucking love this.
Amber Annette (37:34):
So that's so.
I got that for you.
Regina Wamba (37:37):
It all, it all fucking hits all of it.
Not even I'm not even kiddingyou like everything that you
said, except for the panel orspeaking thing, like in the next
month or thing.
I don't know where that'scoming from, but I do have
something, potentially nextApril where I would be speaking.
But yeah, everything that yousaid, like holy shit.
Amber Annette (38:01):
Yep, I love holy shit moments.
I'll take that.
I'll take that.
Regina Wamba (38:07):
Speed, Bring it on baby Next up.
Amber Annette (38:11):
Next up Now.
I don't know if you've listenedto the podcast at all, but this
is my question, that I loveending every episode with Are
you ready?
Ok, yes, if you could connectto anybody in spirit and receive
a message from them, who wouldit be?
Regina Wamba (38:33):
My great grandmother.
Amber Annette (38:36):
OK, so the first thing I get from her is just a
bubbly excitement and I feellike she's trying to give me a
nickname for you.
Did she call you Gina or didshe have a nickname for you?
She called me.
She called me Gina.
Yeah, ok, I've never called youGina.
So that's how I like I lovethat I always call.
(38:58):
I just call you Regina.
So she's like oh, it's my Gina.
So it's like the first thingthat I oh, and I just got truth
bumps.
I hope you got them too.
Oh, she's so.
She's just so happy for you.
She's so happy because she issaying like she also sees what's
(39:19):
coming for you.
She says Do you remember?
Did she ever at one point did?
Did she ever write?
Did she ever a writer?
Did she ever write?
Do you know anything Like?
Did you ever have like notes?
(39:39):
Or do you have a note card fromher or recipe cards or
something Recipe cards?
Ok, so she's just showing methese recipe cards and she's
just she just wants to make surethat you remember her and you
know how much she loved thoselike special times that you and
her had.
Did you guys like bake togetheror cook together stuff in the
(40:01):
kitchen together?
Yeah always when I was stayingwith her?
Regina Wamba (40:06):
yeah, we would.
You would can and cook together.
Amber Annette (40:10):
She just feels like that really traditional
grandma, like that yeah, veryhomie.
And she helped raise you, isthat right?
Yes, oh my gosh, this one'sbringing me tears.
Not only did she get to helpraise you, but you got to help
her transition when she passed,is that correct?
Regina Wamba (40:32):
Yeah, I mean I wasn't there, but I was
connecting spiritually.
I got to visit her about amonth before she passed.
Amber Annette (40:42):
And and was she?
She was ill at the very end.
Regina Wamba (40:46):
Yeah, I mean it was.
It was kind of a longer drawnout process where she was just
slowly losing.
Amber Annette (40:54):
I feel like what she's saying is she's just,
she's actually glad that youweren't there at the end.
I don't, I don't think that itwas necessarily very pretty, I
don't think that she would havewanted you to see her like.
That is what she's saying to me, but there, in spirit, she's
you were just one of herfavorite parts, one of her
favorite parts of life and ofher life here, and she's really
(41:20):
connected to your daughter.
I also get her around her a lot.
Just, I would say a spiritguide like which daughter?
you know, your oldest daughter,it feels like OK, and Do you
ever associate an image of ahummingbird with her?
Regina Wamba (41:42):
Oh, my God yes she , just she's.
Amber Annette (41:49):
She's saying that those are from her, those are,
those are her, those are herlittle wings of love for you.
No, I miss her.
She, she's so much closer thanyou realize.
Regina Wamba (42:09):
She was a big part of my, my artist journey.
I wouldn't have been able to goto school without her, so I
dedicate a lot to her.
I carry her middle name to doso she's.
She's everywhere, and I justplanning to get a tattoo with a
hummingbird.
Stop it, not even kidding, I'mnot even kidding.
Amber Annette (42:35):
Oh, I think what's so beautiful about this
is we've been connected for solong and I've never felt.
First of all, I don't thinkyou've ever cried.
I don't think I've ever seenyou cry.

I am so excited to introduceyou to Regina.
Regina, welcome, hello hello,hello.
Regina Wamba (01:46):
It's so awesome to be here.
Amber Annette (01:49):
I first don't want to rip you apart but at the
same time I feel like that biodoes nothing for you Knowing you
, how a creative genius you are.
I joked about this on one of myother episodes.
I think most people know I'm ahuge game of nerd and fan.
(02:10):
It's always on repeat.
It's the only thing I everwatch on TV.
Actually, I was like I want oneof those introductions like
Daenerys, like Breaker of Chains, mother of Dragons, and I read
your bio and I'm like mwah, mwah, because you are so magical,
seriously, like you and me havetalked about this so many times,
(02:33):
kind of like we did not startoff in the best place in life
and for us to both be assuccessful as we are and as far
along as we are in life and inbusiness, I just would love for
you to kind of tell our audiencea little bit about you and
start with your story whereveryou feel, I'm going to say a
little bit uncomfortablestarting.
Regina Wamba (02:53):
OK, well, first off, let me just say that
writing a bio is really reallyhard, so give me some grace, I
need to have that given tosomeone else who might be able
to raise the bar.
Yeah, because I officially nowsuck at bio writing.
That happened forever.
(03:15):
I thought it was like oh wow,new York Times and Times Square.
That part was magical.
Don't give a ride.
I can't exactly call myself agenius, because that's a little
arrogant of myself.
Amber Annette (03:29):
Well, you didn't.
I called you a genius for you,yeah, but nobody's going to know
that if they're reading my biowritten by Amber.
Regina Wamba (03:38):
Amber says I'm a genius.
So yeah, we're going to have tobrainstorm that one, because I
really don't know what's lackingthere A magical human being,
anyway.
Amber Annette (03:54):
So I guess my journey you guys, you've
witnessed a lot of my journeyyeah, we've been together for a
long time I think like eightyears, that we've been working
together off and on and thatwe've been connected.
That'd be longer than that girl.
Regina Wamba (04:08):
It's got to be like 10 years now.
Amber Annette (04:11):
Pretty sure.
Well, I'll be celebrating my10-year anniversary coming up
here, and it was probably abouttwo years into that, so I could
even go back.
I'll find the exact date of ourfirst session together, so, but
I'm going to guess.
Eight years about that.
Yeah, something feels longer,yeah, which is basically like
seven past lives Go.
Regina Wamba (04:33):
So I mean I've been in business since.
I mean, technically, I wasdoing the whole sole pride or
ship in like 2006 when Igraduated from college and I was
like picking up whatever Icould.
What did you go to college for?
Graphic design?
So visual communications.
I graduated in 2006, what?
(04:55):
Three weeks after my daughterwas born.
So I was carrying my infant inmy carrier little car seat thing
at my portfolio show.
That was interesting, very,very interesting.
But I did it pregnant and allcollege pregnant babies crazy.
I was just picking up whateverI could because the whole main
(05:19):
goal was I wanted to work formyself and when you get into the
grind of a corporate world it'sreally hard to trust yourself
enough to get out of it.
Amber Annette (05:34):
Well, yeah, I mean, you're addicted.
I read this quote once where itwas like the three worst
addictions that you can have inlife are heroin, sugar and a
paycheck.
And that's what you're talkingabout there.
You're hitting the third one,which is a paycheck, because
that's what corporate gives us.
It gives us this false sense ofsecurity, this false sense of I
(05:56):
have this direct deposit.
It's given me safety.
It's coming in every two weeks.
It makes it really difficult towalk away from a role like that
, especially being a new momhaving all the things.
Regina Wamba (06:09):
So I did corporate for like two and a half years,
three years, something like thatand luckily I didn't have to
trust myself.
The universe trusted me for it.
So it kicked me to the curb bygiving me a pink slip when I was
pregnant with my seconddaughter and said well, you said
you wanted this, go cry yourtears to somebody else.
(06:32):
So I lost my security paycheck,but luckily it broke the
addiction.
So now I'm addicted tosomething else, making my own
pathway.
So I don't know.
I started at literal groundzero.
I cried my eyes out when I gotthat pink slip, but I called a
(06:54):
friend and the universe is afunny bitch.
The friend said well, it'sabout time.
We've been waiting for you tostart your own business.
And then, as I'm crying,driving home in a snowstorm, I
got a voicemail that says hey, Iwanna hire you to do all my
branding for my business.
(07:15):
I got your name from a friend,so it was the-.
Evidence yeah it was theevidence.
So I was like, hey, I want this, but I'm not really gonna do it
on my own.
And then the universe was likewell, let me just kick you out
onto the curb and you find yourway.
And finding my way was likewell, here's your first client.
So you know, since about 2006,I've been just playing and
(07:38):
Almost 20 years, yeah.
Amber Annette (07:40):
God Isn't that crazy?
I don't even think of it.
Regina Wamba (07:44):
I know right, my kid is 17 years old, so yeah,
and I started, you know,obviously right when she was
born, as a graduate at school.
So I graduated high school,bought myself cameras, started
doing you know senior pictures,and I was reading a ton and it
snowballed into what I have now,which is kind of this mosh pit
(08:06):
of creativity, which I love.
I have a lot ofmulti-passionate.
I know you're gonna hate me forthat one.
No, not at all, not hate, nothate.
It's just like she yells at meall the time.
It's like just direct yourenergy in better ways.
(08:26):
I get yelled at by Amber.
Yes, it happens Only with love.
Amber Annette (08:33):
I yell with love let's like-.
Regina Wamba (08:36):
It's love in the best ways.
In the best ways she'll kickyour ass.
So I have a lot of creativeadventures.
I love it, all of inclusive.
I'm in the publishing industryand so you know if that I do
branding for books and authors.
You know the intertwinedphotography and video and my
(08:57):
graphic design degree, so I getto make entrepreneurs, authors
and publishing entities lookamazing.
Amber Annette (09:06):
Yeah, yours, I mean your design skill is just
incredible.
One of the things that I loveto talk about on the show and
have always loved to talk aboutwith my clients and just in
general, is the no plan B.
You know, when you takeyourself back to like that pink
flip, you know, since then youhave kept going.
(09:26):
You have found ways to likeredesign, realign, reimagine
your business time and timeagain the services you have, the
gifts that you have and you'vekept going.
And I'm always fascinated bywomen especially, who don't have
(09:46):
this plan B.
There's no plan B in business.
When you have thatentrepreneurial spirit.
You just keep going.
What would you say are some ofthe things that have just kept
you going and not having thatplan B, a backup plan for if the
business doesn't work out foryou?
Regina Wamba (10:03):
There's no other choice.
So I get the hold, not no planB, because I'll tell you right
now, working in corporate wasslowly like I don't know if
you've watched Harry Potter, butthe mentors that take your like
Back in the thaw, yeah,absolutely.
I was in this like gray wallsdepressive state that there was
(10:26):
no creativity, there was noinspiration.
It was literally sucking thelife out of me, and so plan B
looks like that.
So I'm like running far,fucking away from that.
I'm like I do not want recycledair, I do not want gray
cubicles, I do not want thisfunnel of imagination that I
(10:48):
have to stay within theseconstraints and I personally,
that's my fuel to continueworking on my business, because
I can't see the alternativebeing creative.
I can't see it setting my soulon fire.
I can't see it being the fuelthat I need, personally, on a
(11:08):
sole cellular level, to continueworking.
Like I think I would actuallylike just fade away into the
darkness and you guys wouldnever see me again.
Like just I can't, like,there's no other choice.
I know, yeah, I feel it.
Amber Annette (11:25):
Sometimes it's hard to like put into words and
I guess, if I had to summarizeanything of what's kept me going
and not having a plan B, it'spassion, my passion for serving
and for channeling and forworking with women in business.
It's so strong, like I guess myplan is plan P, which is
(11:47):
passion, and I know that youkind of feel that similar way.
Regina Wamba (11:52):
The thing is, what really gets me is like the
excitement of the untold stories.
So when I'm creating, I'mcreating for the purpose of
seeing it have a ripple effect,and I think I put that in my bio
, which I thought was genius,thank you very much.
But the ripple effect ofcreating for other people to
(12:17):
create, that is where, like Ifind it.
So I mean, we draw inspirationfrom everything and everywhere
and that's my drive.
My drive is to create for otherripple effects of creation.
So if I create a cover designand that cover design goes on to
inspire a book and those bookshit the readers, the readers
(12:40):
then go and make art and theymake oh, I get it Cosplay, and
it's just this ripple effectthat is found to me and that
gives me, like the truth bumps,and I'm so excited just at the
possibilities of how my art cantouch people so I often joke
that I have like a psychic MLM,because everybody I come in
(13:03):
contact with become psychic.
Amber Annette (13:05):
It's just like it's part of my gift.
It just like it literallyactivates people, and so I'm
always joking, I'm like, oh,you're like a tier one, like
you're now off, like activatingother people to be psychics too.
So I get the ripple effectAbsolutely and that's.
I mean, there's just some of usthat that's what we're here to
do.
We're here to make that biggerimpact.
(13:26):
And that is like it just startswith like one piece of art, it
just starts with one story.
It just starts, you know, with.
You know, I think about that.
Very first reading I did allthe time Like if I hadn't been
brave, if I hadn't taken a riskand if I hadn't been like I'm
(13:46):
going to just see what happens,man, like the ripple effect,
like would have never got totake effect.
So you know.
So I heard you talk a littlebit about being multi passionate
.
What do you think is thegreatest gift in that and what
do you think is the greatesthindrance in that?
Because I know a lot of myaudience listening, including
(14:08):
myself, multi passionate, allthese ideas coming in.
I mean I could sit and talkabout ideas with you all day
long.
With probably I mean I couldprobably match you and your
energy.
Regina Wamba (14:19):
There's another one.
I'm how many ideas do you have?
I have a treasure chest ofnotebooks and it's just a
continuous stream of ideas andstuff that you want to create
and bring to life.
And the hindrance is that one,you're only one person.
(14:41):
So, yeah, creating all thethings take one would either
take a team of unicorns Toactually magically create, but
it also can hinder you in makinga pathway in in very strong
areas.
So the the beautiful part ofbeing multi passionate is that
(15:03):
one you can never get bored.
You can never get bored.
You're always.
You always have something youcan create because you have such
a flow and abundance of flow ofideas and passions that can
entertain, you entertain, youbring, you know, that passion
and joy to the world, or theripple effect to the world.
(15:25):
There's an endless supply, likeI'm honestly have an endless
supply of of creativity andideas that I can bring to the
world.
The hindrance is not being ableto do it physically, the like.
Physically my mind creates themall the time, like there's
pathways and and to do lists andtasks and everything to create
(15:47):
them, but physically I'm justnot able to.
Amber Annette (15:51):
So you're right here on the spot.
I, I have an idea for us.
I'm going to put it out thereright now.
Let's, let's hear.
This is how.
This is how my gift works,right?
So, not too long ago, I sold oneof my ideas that I had
literally probably very early inmy business, about 10 years in.
(16:11):
I sold it and I made $20,000,and I've never sold an idea
before, and it was somethingthat just I kept it, I'd kept
the dot com, I'd like all of thethings right.
And I found the right person,and I was like you know, I have
this thing that I used to do,and it was a program and I have
all the, the assets, I haveeverything for you would.
(16:33):
Would you be interested in it?
And I was like, do you wantthat?
And she was like oh my gosh,like the, the way she lit up, it
was just amazing.
Ended up, she bought it, andthat's that's what.
That's what she ended up buying.
So, as you were just talking,though and I mean this is in
true the business psychicfashion, because one of the
things that I do on here is giveall of my, all of my guests are
(16:54):
reading what if we created asite where people could come and
buy ideas.
Regina Wamba (17:03):
And I had this idea for about 10 years but I
didn't know how to create it.
Like I was like I don't knowhow to create it because there's
a whole process of not beingripped off.
How do you, how do you protectyour shit while also giving a
tease of like ideas?
But yeah, it's been in my, it'sbeen in my arsenal and my
(17:24):
treasure cho for a while.
Amber Annette (17:27):
I mean I always think about it, like when I go
through my notebooks.
You know, when I go through,like my past things, when I like
I mean if you saw my desk rightnow, it's a creative frenzy of
color and gel pens and post itnotes and I mean it just it's
endless.
And I'm so grateful for theideas that come to me and
through me.
I'm going to table this and I'mgoing to come back to our
(17:48):
audience and let them know,because this is this is
something that I have beenthinking about for a long time.
How do I take some of theseideas that have been sitting on
the back burner and give them topeople that can ignite it and
go make a ripple effect in theworld with it?
Regina Wamba (18:01):
So we'll table this one.
Regina, we'll, we'll see wherethis one goes for us.
We're going to have abrainstorm session.
Let's make it so when we'retalking about ideas.
Amber Annette (18:13):
I am always fascinated how ideas come to
people like what it feels like,like share with us a little bit
like what does that look andfeel like for you when, like,
new ideas start to come in?
Regina Wamba (18:27):
Oh my gosh, it's like a tornado, I mean you know,
it goes more specific like whatdoes it feel?
Amber Annette (18:34):
like you know.
Regina Wamba (18:38):
It's like you're about to drop from the high
tower at Valley Fair or you knowlike you get really.
You're like you get reallyexcited.
And then it's like you get thisreally excited feeling in your,
in your stomach and then itlike oh, into your throat and
you're like, well, I can't, Ican't even like articulate this,
(18:58):
because it's moving so fastthrough your body and you're
it's, it's, it's like anexplosion of color and paint and
pictures and it's just movingso quickly.
With this feeling, we're likeright in the right in the
stomach, like, and then it likemoves up to my, into my like
(19:18):
throat, where I'm like I need to, I need to get this out.
And that's where I'm like, okay, I need to write this down or
send myself a voice note orsketch it out or something,
because it's stuck, it's likestuck in here in my throat and
I'm like I need to get it out.
I need to express this some way.
I need to get it.
That's usually how it happensfor me.
So I'm like I get an idea, hitsthe stomach, travels up to the
(19:40):
throat, and that's when I knowI'm like okay, I need to get
this out.
I need to move this energy outoutside of myself.
I use my phone notes a lot.
I never was a like what is it?
Habitual person, like this ismy routine.
But I consistently use my phonenotes a lot for ideas,
(20:03):
especially like when I'm walking, exercising, shall, showering,
that's the fun part.
And then like bed, like rightbefore bed, and stuff, stuff,
like that's the fun part of me.
But I could be even just likelistening to music and one line
of the lyric will will throw meinto an idea, yeah, an
inspiration of something.
Amber Annette (20:22):
So it's I mean I think that I personally believe
like ideas kind of come forwardin a couple of ways, like when
you're describing like you feelit in your stomach.
I don't feel ideas like that atall, like it almost for me
happens, like it feels like aburst in in what some people
(20:43):
would say, like like where yourthird eye is, like I always feel
it, like at the top of my, likeit.
I can like literally feel italmost like come out of the out
of the universe and like downthrough the top of my crown and
like into my being.
I'm always fascinated like Idon't I mean like I'm the
intuition queen Everybody talksabout, like that gut feeling and
(21:05):
I'm like what the hell is thisgut feel?
I never physically feel anythingin my sacral section and like
my, it's never a gut feeling.
I don't get that sensation.
So, and I didn't realize untilnot too long ago that it's
because I well, like supposedly,if you follow human design at
all, it's because I'm aprojector and the way that my
(21:26):
projector is is I don't havethat.
It's just like not in my actualhuman design, right?
I don't physically have aresponse to things in my stomach
.
Regina Wamba (21:36):
I'm always reader, so I actually have no idea
where I would you that that'sexactly where you would feel it.
Amber Annette (21:43):
Yeah yeah, probably, like.
I think it's like a say and Iam not a human design expert by
Any means I think it's, it'sinteresting.
It's like it's just not my gift, like there are people that are
very gifted at it.
It's not my gift, but I'malways fascinated because some
ideas.
I feel like I'm on this likeadventure sometimes with the
(22:06):
universe where it gives me theseideas and it's like, well, you
don't, you're next until youtake action on this idea or
until you release this idea.
I do believe that, like, someideas are for one reason and one
reason only, to actuallyfeeling, because for me, I
(22:27):
cannot think of a, of a feelingthat I really love more than
when an idea comes to me.
I mean it feels like a businessorgasm.
It feels just like this wave ofeuphoria of like oh my gosh,
that is so good.
Like I just instantly, you knowlike go to my notes that get
out my job, like I can't notstop what I'm doing in that
(22:50):
moment.
I just it's one of my favoritehuman experiences is feeling and
hearing and seeing a new ideacome in.
I get them on the plane like Ijoke all the time.
I'm like I should just hop on aplane and I don't even care
like where the hell I'm flyingto, just for the sake of having
the space for the idea to comein, because the plane, the
(23:13):
shower, oh man, it's made me,literally made me millions.
It's amazing.
Regina Wamba (23:18):
Yeah, I agree, like the ideas that come in on a
plane.
I don't know why, why the plane, but the plane has always been
a good one for me to when I'mtraveling alone, when I'm with
my kids or my spouse.
Amber Annette (23:32):
it's like yeah, I agree, it's like a dedicated
space for downloads or something.
It's just it is.
It's just a.
It's just amazing.
I think I'm going to startdoing VIP days for clients on a
plane.
I'm going to book us just tofly together.
It doesn't even matter, we justneed the plane space for the
(23:53):
strategy and the ideas, becauseit's magic, it is just magic.
So how do you use yourintuition and business?
Regina Wamba (24:08):
Okay, I see things intuitively.
When I'm connecting, I seethings in pictures.
So everything's in movingpictures.
So I see, when I'm connectingwith a client or like where
we're brainstorming those ideas,everything comes in pictures.
So it's like not, it's notthoughts and ideas, it's
(24:33):
pictures.
That's how I'm connecting andutilizing my gift, because then
I can see what I need to dointuitively.
Amber Annette (24:44):
So you're a clairvoyant creator.
Yeah, so the gift ofclairvoyance is, you know, it's
often called like, you know,being able to see, and I think
what a lot of times people don'tget with.
That is, the visions that runthrough our mind, those like it
can almost look like.
I always think of them as likemovie trailers, almost Like I'll
(25:05):
get these like quick flashesand it could be my life,
somebody else's life, one of myfriend's life, typically my
client's life.
That like is or business.
It just is like this beautifulflash and quick play and that's
what it is.
It's being a clairvoyantcreator of being able to take
that vision.
Then that comes and probablyyou know somehow translate it.
Regina Wamba (25:29):
Yeah, yeah that's.
I mean I will, literally I'llbe reading from my like clients
you know voice notes or you knowideas, or we sit down for
coffee or whatever, and I'm like, as they're speaking or they're
talking about this whateverproject that's lighting them up
in the moment that they'retrying to hire me for, I'm like
(25:52):
pulling that information and inmy head I'm seeing colors, I'm
seeing elements, I'm seeing moodand and, if you know, video,
like I'm seeing moving pictures.
Like it's a phenomenon and Idon't know really how to like
articulate what goes on.
Do you think everybody has that?
(26:13):
No, or do you?
I do not.
I don't believe that everyonehas that.
Actually, some people thinkit's actually a phenomenon to me
because I'm like how, how doyou not see pictures?
Some people cannot see pictures, they just see words and, yeah,
I don't know Thoughts.
It's weird.
I'm like how do you not seepictures?
I see pictures all the time,but I'm also an artist.
(26:35):
Everything comes in picturesand I digest and give back
pictures.
So I guess it makes sense to me.
Amber Annette (26:43):
I mean, I really believe wholeheartedly Well,
number one I believe everybodyhas intuition.
I believe everybody has knowing, that deep inner sense of
knowing.
In fact, just teaser, reginaactually created the book cover
for my book that's coming outand one of the very first lines
(27:04):
in the book is our knowing iswhat connects us, the one thing
that every single human beinghas on this planet.
It's the only thing thatactually connects us all because
it's the only thing that everysingle one of us has.
And if you really let that sinkin, it's like, wow, our knowing
, our intuition, it's like theone thing that can unite us all.
(27:28):
Everybody has that as a gift andI believe everybody has access
to the same creativity that weget, the same ideas that we get.
I believe everybody has access.
What I believe is people fromaccessing it are their belief,
(27:49):
their confidence, their abilityto follow curiosity.
And I used to you know Ifreaking and she got the worst
rap for following that whiterabbit down the rabbit hole and
yet the world that is there,like I just associate so much
(28:11):
more with her than I used to,with what I don't know, marie
Forleo or successful people inbusiness.
I love more to like that storythan anything else lately,
because that's where the magicis and that's where the passion
is, and I really, really believethat the passion is what
(28:34):
activates the creativity, and itcomes from being curious, you
know.
Regina Wamba (28:40):
Curiosities lead to calling it's actually perfect
, like I have never thought ofit that way, but I'm definitely
following the rabbit hole andprobably 17 rabbit holes.
But that's okay, because I'malways curious.
Amber Annette (28:56):
It is okay, I think that's the thing that,
like, especially when we talkabout being multi-passionate,
when we talk about having all ofthese ideas you know I tell
people all the time it doesn'tmean that you are saying yes to
one and no to the other ones.
It means you're choosing thefirst one that has the most
potential behind it, the onethat, like, is turning you on,
(29:20):
the one that's lighting you upthe most.
That's just the one we're gonnastart with.
It doesn't mean that the otherones can't come to the world and
let's be honest, like, someideas just aren't meant to.
You know, I have this, like Ijust recently moved, so I don't
have it next to me right now,but I have this little pink wire
basket and it is full ofpost-it notes and literally a
(29:42):
couple napkins, some papers,like just random stuff, where I
call it my idea graveyard,because it's where ideas that
I've had I just they sit andthey sit and they brew and they
brew and I just can't takeaction on it.
I just can't bring it to theworld.
I take it and I put it insidemy little idea graveyard and
it's not sad.
(30:03):
Sometimes I feel a little sadlooking at it because they were
amazing ideas.
It just wasn't the right time,or whatever it was.
Regina Wamba (30:10):
So maybe they weren't just for you, though
Maybe they weren't for me,they're meant to be on our new
website by myideacom.
Amber Annette (30:24):
Yeah, that's where they're meant to go.
That's why I've held onto themall this time.
Regina Wamba (30:29):
But I mean.
Amber Annette (30:29):
I do.
I think that ideas are.
I think some ideas also havecome to me just because in that
moment I needed to feelsomething, and ideas make me
feel a way that nothing else onthis planet has ever made me
feel and that activates afrequency and that activates
(30:52):
excitement and curiosity andplay.
And when you are in that stateand when you are in that
vibration, oh, you aremanifesting at your highest
level.
Regina Wamba (31:02):
Amen.
Honestly, I feel the same, likeit's just, it's energy, it's
fuel, it's fuel that it's likeoh, engines are revving now,
like now we can pull in thehorsepower and get going.
That sometimes ideas are justmeant to be fuel for the fire.
Like you were at Embers, nowyou're, I cuss a lot, now you're
(31:26):
blazing, you're blazing, right,you can, you've got the engines
revving, you can go now.
And ideas, I feel like if youcan't, you know, physically
bring it to the world orwhatever, it's still an idea,
let it incubate, let it sit, letit put it in a place where it
can be, you know, thought about,revered, thanked, because those
(31:50):
things are the ones that maybecontinuously give you something
else, maybe it's a spin-off ofsomething else, like the
possibilities are endless andthe fuel is has untapped
potential.
Amber Annette (32:02):
Really, and it's super amazing when ideas that
have been you know, I mean, Istill have ideas that are making
me money to this day that I hadfive, six, seven, eight, nine,
10 years ago.
That's pretty, you know, that'spretty impressive and I just I
believe, I hope if anybody takesanything away from this episode
(32:25):
, it's man, trust your ideas.
They're coming to you andthey're coming to you for a
reason and instead of howingthat idea, just allow the energy
of that idea to take hold andman go down as many rabbit holes
as you can.
There's just all kinds ofwonderlands we ain't no there
for you All kinds ofpossibilities, all kinds of
(32:45):
interesting magical realm thatLiterally the portals are
everywhere, yeah.
Regina Wamba (32:50):
I agree you can stuck with anyone any rabbit
hole, any dimension, at any timeand pick up whatever you want
it is.
It's like a creative wonderland, or wonderlands out there, it's
everywhere in everything.
Amber Annette (33:05):
I'm with you, girl, and cheers to like us both
continuing on our journey toactivate that and others to get
curious and go down those rabbitholes, so oh yeah, oh my gosh,
it lights me up.
Regina Wamba (33:17):
I get so excited.
I'm like when I can createsomething that inspires
something else, I should.
It's like I don't know, it'slike gives me all the happy, yes
.
Amber Annette (33:32):
All right.
So next step here I'm gonna tapin and true the business
psychic fashion and I'm gonnagive you a business reading kind
of what I sense and see for you, for we'll see what the
universe brings to me through me.
You've experienced my giftbefore, so you know how this
goes.
And then I have a reallyimportant question to ask you
Are you ready?
Which one?
First I'm gonna tap in and giveyou a couple like three
(33:56):
different things I sense and seefor your business this year.
So what's interesting is thefirst thing that I see is like
this spotlight ring light camera.
I really feel like I see sometype of like summit or some type
(34:22):
of like panel of speakers and Iwould really love for you if
that I can't quite tell if it'syou hosting it or if you get the
invitation to join.
I think what's going to happenis either a I think it's OK, the
universe saying it's both, soit's saying both are actually
(34:42):
going to happen.
You're I'm not sure which one'scoming first Either a you're
getting asked to speak on asummit and you get inspired to
then go and host your own, orvice versa.
But that feels very soon, likesomething like September of this
year and so we're recordingthis actually August 31st of, so
that's coming like next month.
So that's the first thing.
The next thing is January,february.
(35:04):
There is a trip that you'regoing to take.
I see palm trees.
That must be someplace likeCaribbean, tropical, and I'm
going to say, like you have likesome type of like spiritual,
you ever seen those?
Like you know those times wherelike people like are like
shaking and they're having likethis, like break, like you know,
(35:27):
and like churches and I don'tknow what those are called.
But you're going to havesomething like this.
You're going to have somethinglike this.
I would say in like Februaryish, like and there's I don't
know like if it feels to mealmost like I don't know if
you'd be doing like Iowaska orsomething like that, but I
definitely feel like that isneeded and it dramatically
(35:51):
change.
Like February of 2024 is goingto be a me it might be the
beginning of March, I'm notquite sure that I'm kind of
seeing both here.
It is going to change the restof your life.
I own that and claim that righthere and right now and I do
follow up episodes, so I can'twait to like bring the system
back and see what happens, sothat that is 100 percent certain
(36:13):
.
And then the other thing that'sgoing to happen is I see you
signing a contract like a reallybig contract with I'm going to
say I'm not sure if it's Amazonor a new publisher or if you
start your own.
I'm going to even say like abranch of a publishing, like I
(36:37):
see the title director, likecreative art director, and that
feels like the end of 2024.
I'm going to say like October,and that isn't just like a
contract, it is a partnershipthat allows you that girl like
that allows you to really,really really have the ripple
(36:59):
effect say 10 X your existingincome and still allow you to be
in your.
I feel like all of your effortsyou have put your heart, your
soul, your time, your energy,your money is about to come into
fruition, really around the endof 2024, and it's not going to
(37:23):
be as hard anymore.
It just something is reallyshifting for you right now.
It would be as hard anymore.
Regina Wamba (37:30):
I fucking love this.
Amber Annette (37:34):
So that's so.
I got that for you.
Regina Wamba (37:37):
It all, it all fucking hits all of it.
Not even I'm not even kiddingyou like everything that you
said, except for the panel orspeaking thing, like in the next
month or thing.
I don't know where that'scoming from, but I do have
something, potentially nextApril where I would be speaking.
But yeah, everything that yousaid, like holy shit.
Amber Annette (38:01):
Yep, I love holy shit moments.
I'll take that.
I'll take that.
Regina Wamba (38:07):
Speed, Bring it on baby Next up.
Amber Annette (38:11):

I don't know if you've listenedto the podcast at all, but this
is my question, that I loveending every episode with Are

Ok, yes, if you could connectto anybody in spirit and receive
a message from them, who wouldit be?
Regina Wamba (38:33):
My great grandmother.
Amber Annette (38:36):
OK, so the first thing I get from her is just a
bubbly excitement and I feellike she's trying to give me a
nickname for you.
Did she call you Gina or didshe have a nickname for you?
She called me.
She called me Gina.
Yeah, ok, I've never called youGina.
So that's how I like I lovethat I always call.
(38:58):
I just call you Regina.
So she's like oh, it's my Gina.
So it's like the first thingthat I oh, and I just got truth
bumps.
I hope you got them too.
Oh, she's so.
She's just so happy for you.
She's so happy because she issaying like she also sees what's
(39:19):
coming for you.
She says Do you remember?
Did she ever at one point did?
Did she ever write?
Did she ever a writer?
Did she ever write?
Do you know anything Like?
Did you ever have like notes?
(39:39):
Or do you have a note card fromher or recipe cards or
something Recipe cards?
Ok, so she's just showing methese recipe cards and she's
just she just wants to make surethat you remember her and you
know how much she loved thoselike special times that you and
her had.
Did you guys like bake togetheror cook together stuff in the
(40:01):
kitchen together?
Yeah always when I was stayingwith her?
Regina Wamba (40:06):
yeah, we would.
You would can and cook together.
Amber Annette (40:10):
She just feels like that really traditional
grandma, like that yeah, veryhomie.
And she helped raise you, isthat right?
Yes, oh my gosh, this one'sbringing me tears.
Not only did she get to helpraise you, but you got to help
her transition when she passed,is that correct?
Regina Wamba (40:32):
Yeah, I mean I wasn't there, but I was
connecting spiritually.
I got to visit her about amonth before she passed.
Amber Annette (40:42):
And and was she?
She was ill at the very end.
Regina Wamba (40:46):
Yeah, I mean it was.
It was kind of a longer drawnout process where she was just
slowly losing.
Amber Annette (40:54):
I feel like what she's saying is she's just,
she's actually glad that youweren't there at the end.
I don't, I don't think that itwas necessarily very pretty, I
don't think that she would havewanted you to see her like.
That is what she's saying to me, but there, in spirit, she's
you were just one of herfavorite parts, one of her
favorite parts of life and ofher life here, and she's really
(41:20):
connected to your daughter.
I also get her around her a lot.
Just, I would say a spiritguide like which daughter?
you know, your oldest daughter,it feels like OK, and Do you
ever associate an image of ahummingbird with her?
Regina Wamba (41:42):
Oh, my God yes she , just she's.
Amber Annette (41:49):
She's saying that those are from her, those are,
those are her, those are herlittle wings of love for you.
No, I miss her.
She, she's so much closer thanyou realize.
Regina Wamba (42:09):
She was a big part of my, my artist journey.
I wouldn't have been able to goto school without her, so I
dedicate a lot to her.
I carry her middle name to doso she's.
She's everywhere, and I justplanning to get a tattoo with a
hummingbird.
Stop it, not even kidding, I'mnot even kidding.
Amber Annette (42:35):
Oh, I think what's so beautiful about this
is we've been connected for solong and I've never felt.
First of all, I don't thinkyou've ever cried.
I don't think I've ever seenyou cry.
I don't think I've yet, though,had just.
You know, I have not had aguest yet that hasn't cried, Not
one I figured, so welcomeWelcome to the show.
Regina Wamba (42:58):
Great Initiation.
Amber Annette (43:01):
Yes, yes, well, regina, thank you so much for
