Nourishing Faith, Sharing Food,

Building Fellowship

Encouragement and practical inspiration for creative souls who long to slow down, feed their spirit, and build community—one meal and moment at a time.

Welcome, friend!

You’re a woman who wears a lot of hats. You love Jesus, you have a heart full of ideas, and most days… you're doing your best to keep it all together.

Somewhere between the laundry piles, the half-written devotional idea, and the question “What’s for dinner?”—you wonder if you're falling short in all the places that matter most.

Let me whisper something to your soul: You’re not behind. You’re not broken. You’re not too late.

This space was created with you in mind.

Hi, I’m Regina!

I’m not here to give you a 10-step plan to “have it all together.”
I’m here to remind you that God meets us right where we are.

✨ If you’ve ever thought:

“I want to grow closer to God, but my quiet time feels inconsistent at best.”
“I have all these creative ideas, but I don’t know how to focus or start.”
“I want to feed my family well, but I need simple, doable meals.”
“I feel called to more, but I’m already so overwhelmed.”

You belong here.

Welcome to By The Creative Soul. You’re in the right place.
