Despite never obtaining a high school diploma, she has defied the odds by writing a full-length play that's on its way to Off-Broadway. Join us for a compelling conversation about overcoming barriers and embracing creativity. Takeaways: Feeling anxious and up against time is a common experience in your 30s and 40s. Balancing work, relationships, and personal goals can be challenging and contribute to anxiety. Medication can help manage ADHD and find focus. Finding creative outlets and pushing through anxiety can lead to progress and personal growth.

In this episode, LaToya discusses her struggles with unemployment, feeling unseen and unheard, and the paralyzing effects of anxiety. She shares her journey of seeking answers and praying for guidance. LaToya emphasizes the importance of celebrating wins, big or small, and finding wisdom in those victories. She encourages listeners to be patient with themselves and to speak up for their needs. LaToya concludes by reminding everyone to keep their heads up and hearts open in a world full of digital distractions. Takeaways Unemployment and the struggle to find stable employment can contribute to anxiety and feelings of rejection and loss. Anxiety manifests differently in each person, and it can lead to paralysis and a lack of motivation. Fasting and prayer can be helpful tools in managing anxiety and seeking guidance. Feeling unseen and unheard can be a source of stress and anxiety, but it's important to remember that you are not alone in your struggles. Celebrating wins, big or small, is a form of gratitude and can help build confidence and encourage further success. Patience with yourself and others is key in navigating the challenges of anxiety and mental health. Speaking up for yourself and seeking support from others can be empowering and help you feel less alone. Finding wisdom in your wins and reflecting on your victories can provide motivation and inspiration for future success. In a digital-driven world, it's important to prioritize analog connections and take time to disconnect from distractions.

In this conversation, LaToya and Milton Vann discuss the connection between anxiety and ego. They explore how pride can manifest as insecurity and contribute to feelings of anxiety. Milton shares his journey with anxiety and how he discovered the role of pride in his struggles. Takeaways Anxiety can be connected to ego and pride, as we often put unnecessary pressure on ourselves to meet certain expectations. Humbling ourselves and surrendering to God's plan can help alleviate anxiety and reduce the influence of ego. Valuing the journey and trusting in God's timing can help us overcome the anxiety caused by our timelines and expectations. Rehearsing and believing the truth of God's word can combat the lies and insecurities that contribute to anxiety. Rehearsing the truth and checking it against God's word helps discerning God's voice. Faith and patience are key in navigating the illusion of order and trusting God's timing.

In this episode, I speak with Dr. Akua Boateng, Licensed Psychotherapist and Mental Health Consultant. Dr. Boateng was gracious enough to provide answers to some of the real-life questions that I had for her, and I believe the valuable information she shares is worth noting down.
Dr. Boateng is a captivating thought leader and psychological consultant. Her work extends beyond mental health treatment and integrates aspects of career and psychological consultation, which she has done for colleges, artists, young professionals, and non-profit organizations. Through speaking, consulting (organizational re-envisioning, leadership training, workshops, etc) and content writing for various organizations, she lends her psychological knowledge on topics such as emotional growth, professional development, resilience, effective leadership, relationships and spiritual enrichment.
In a nutshell, we speak about:
Extending self-love to yourself in times of feeling depressed and feeling sad.
How to bounce back (even after lying to your therapist).
Coping mechanisms to get over the loss of someone that's still alive.
Coping skills one can use after witnessing a relative have a near-death experience.
How to navigate mental health problems.
How to support your child if they are going through a gender identity issue.
... and so much more!
