We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Regina Sih-Meynier a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Regina, thanks for joining us today. Alright, so one thing we think people don’t talk about nearly enough is investments – either time or money. What’s one of the best or worst investments you’ve made and what did you learned from the experience?

The best investment we made as self-employed solopreneurs was purchasing my husband’s family home in the French countryside during the pandemic. Through what felt like divine intervention, a random—but perhaps not so random—taxi driver told my brother-in-law that his former father-in-law’s estate, which had been sold more than 30 years earlier, was back on the market.

Four months after we promised to buy the home back, I was laid off from the pharmaceutical industry and my husband’s cinematography business shut down during the COVID pandemic. Although we had no income at the time, we had a line of credit on our San Francisco home that allowed us to move forward with the purchase.

It was both the scariest and the best decision we made. Today, that property is where I host my Go Slow to Go Faster Retreats as part of my work as an intuitive career and business strategist. Located near Compiègne, about 70 kilometers north of Paris, the home has become a place where professionals step away from the noise of daily life to reflect, reset, and design their next chapter.

Regina, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

What makes me unique is the combination of my scientific training and my deep trust in intuition.

I spent two decades leading teams in healthcare and the pharmaceutical industry, where data, strategy, and evidence-based decision making were the norm. Over time with the help of intuition teachers and coaches, I discovered that the most powerful decisions in life and business also require listening to something deeper—our inner wisdom. I felt the call to not go back to corporate after being laid off and instead took a summer sabbatical to discover what’s calling me.

Today, I bring those two worlds together. As an intuitive career and business strategist, retreat host, author, and speaker, I help accomplished professionals design their next chapter with both clarity and security. I teach practical tools that help people tune into their intuition while still using structured decision frameworks to move forward with confidence.

I’m also a Chinese Indonesian–born American, which has shaped how I see the world. Navigating multiple cultures taught me early on how to break through barriers and redefine success on my own terms—not just chasing titles or income, but creating a life that feels aligned and meaningful.

That path has allowed me to manifest a lifestyle where I can work from anywhere in the world—splitting time between San Francisco, the French countryside, and Southern California with my husband and our rescued Maltipoo. Along the way, my mission has become helping others realize that it’s possible to live your purpose and prosper at the same time.

Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?

Since 2020, while I was still working in the corporate pharmaceutical industry, I felt a persistent call to write a book. When I launched my business, Oh Universe, LLC, in 2021, that inner whisper kept nudging me to write it as a way to help introduce my work.

I tried three times between 2020 and 2022. Each time, I struggled to figure out how to tell my story. I eventually wrote nearly 70,000 words—only to realize the manuscript was, frankly, a complete snoozer.

By 2023, I told myself I was done trying to write the book and decided to take a break.

Then in 2024, I was invited to attend a masterclass with Sonia Choquette, often called the queen of intuition. During that experience, I discovered a different way of accessing my stories—what I call “downloading” them. That summer, I spent five and a half months in the French countryside capturing the stories and lessons that had shaped my journey.

Just as I was preparing to return to San Francisco, a hybrid publishing agency, Manuscripts Press, reached out to me on LinkedIn. The whisper I had learned to trust said yes. By December 2024, I was working with editors and shaping those stories into a cohesive manuscript.

Last year, I completed the book, and it was published in February 2026: *A Thousand Whispers from Within: Manifesting a Life of Purpose and Prosperity.*

The resilience in this story wasn’t about pushing harder every time I hit a wall. It was about stepping back when something felt forced, allowing space for clarity, and trusting that the idea would return when the timing was right. Each time I paused, the path forward eventually revealed itself—and today the book is connecting me with readers who have since become clients.

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

One of the biggest lessons I’ve had to unlearn was the conditioning around spirituality.

As I began developing my intuitive and psychic abilities, I didn’t initially realize that what I was experiencing was a deeper connection to my spirit. Growing up, anything that resembled spirituality felt uncomfortably close to organized religion, which was frowned upon in my household. Because of that, I carried an unspoken belief that this part of me wasn’t fully acceptable.

When I realized that working with intuition was what I wanted to dedicate my life to, I had to confront that conditioning. I had to learn to accept this part of myself rather than judge it.

For a long time, that lack of self-acceptance created internal tension. I could feel the discord in my body, and it showed up in my business as hesitation and uncertainty. I was trying to build something meaningful while still questioning whether I was allowed to fully be who I was.

Everything began to shift when I rewrote those old stories. I came to see that my spirituality wasn’t something to hide—it was something good, valuable, and central to my work. Once I accepted that wholeheartedly, I was able to speak about my business with clarity, conviction, and belief. And not surprisingly, that’s when the business began to flourish. Writing the book and publishing it was the turning point.
