About reGEN

ReGEN impact media is the first and only Indigenous-owned and female-led wrap-around ecosystem that facilitates the creation, finance, marketing, and distribution of uplifting, narrative-shifting regenerative media projects through a Matriarchal and relational approach.

Let's start with a definition of regenerative media.

Impact-first, future-facing media that uplifts and shifts narratives, nourishes minds, and prioritizes accessibility and intentional storytelling.

Creating a self-sustaining ecosystem that continuously regenerates and supports itself.

Inspiring and rewarding audiences to focus on what we want more of and shift away from what we don’t.

Reimagining media where audiences invest in what they value, consumers guide how brands spend ad dollars, and storytellers and creators collectively own the futures they help build.

Read reGEN's Impact Narrative Summary

I was raised in a family where stories shaped our values and beliefs. I also grew up a musician and athlete. Discipline, practice, and rhythm were my teachers. You can’t fake mastery; you build it through repetition and reflection. Those same principles now guide my life’s work in transformation.

After two decades working with women on growth and leadership, I learned what truly moves us forward: steady practice, grounded focus, and a supportive circle of accountability. Transformation isn’t a one-time event; it’s a lifestyle. Yet the systems around us - especially media - have trained us toward distraction over focus, consumption over nourishment.

Our 10-year Moonshot vision

By 2035, there is now the first true generation of media-healer storytellers. 36 Regenerative Storytellers' work, visions, and voices have had the opportunity to develop and pioneer new landscapes of media storytelling in an ecosystem of support, abundance, and deep community of connection.

The films, stories, and impact-first content from these Regenerative Storytellers, as well as of our NextGEN filmmakers, have reached a broad and deep cross-section of audiences across North America and the globe. These stories have challenged, inspired, and blown open minds, healed hearts, reconnected to their spirit, and, as a result, individuals and communities of all kinds have become more unified and more whole.

reGEN media has consistently delivered invigorating and nourishing audience experiences with inspirational, interactive, and inclusively innovative interactions through our global streaming platform. We have become to storytelling what the NFL has become for sport.

In addition to the progressive philanthropic dollars supporting Regenerative Storytellers and Filmmakers, catalytic capital, impact investors, and purposeful brands with advertising dollars have stepped in to take their place in the reGEN ecosystem, ushering in a next-wave of impact investing, advertising, and progressive sponsorship, driving the reach and amplification of our storytellers and media projects.

reGEN's model of relational filmmaking, NextGEN training programs, and decentralized hub-and-spoke production are recognized widely within the international media landscape, and reGEN is partnering with academic universities and industry associations to bring this promising sector to life beyond the reaches of just this company. At this point, reGEN is in the early stages of formalizing its NextGEN training into its own accredited academic institution with the ability to train younger filmmakers in a multi-year program, as well as more advanced filmmakers through shorter continued learning programs and retreats.

reGEN was named a Top 25 Women in Tech by Toast & Betakit
