In a world full of distractions and self-doubt, Dr. ReGina R. Smithwick stands as a radiant force of clarity, courage, and transformation. As a Purpose Coach, certified life coach, speaker, author, and media host, Dr. Smithwick has turned her own life journey—including the complex beauty of being adopted—into a catalyst for global empowerment.
Her signature coaching method, Wring Out Your Sponge, helps individuals release toxic thought patterns and embrace a purposeful life. “I created this because I saw how many people, including myself, were walking around full of emotional residue,” Dr. Smithwick explains. “My mission is to help people clean out that clutter and start fresh.”
Dr. Smithwick’s defining moment came not from a stage, but from a page. Writing Adoption: The Unknown Blessing was both healing and revolutionary for her. “That book is a testimony,” she shares. “It reflects the moment I stepped into my truth and stopped letting my past silence me.” Her vulnerability has since become a beacon of hope for countless others navigating identity and purpose.
Community service is more than a checklist for Dr. Smithwick—it’s a lifestyle. From founding the Patricia Ann Morton Foundation to earning the President’s Volunteer Service Award, she balances her platforms with purpose. “Service grounds me,” she says. “It’s how I stay aligned with what truly matters.”
Whether she’s hosting her podcast Let’s Talk 1943 or mentoring women through her nonprofit work, Dr. Smithwick’s legacy is about empowerment. “I want my story to show others that no matter what you’ve been through, you are not broken. You are built for more.”
