Candid Conversations with Dr. Latonia

Not everything that feels urgent requires an immediate response. In this episode, we’re talking about what happens when emotions rush us into decisions – and why sometimes the wisest thing we can give ourselves is time. Are you solving a problem or simply trying to escape the feeling?

Not everything we feel is instruction. Sometimes it’s discernment, sometimes it’s emotion, sometimes it’s an old wound – and sometimes we simply don’t know yet. In this episode, we’re talking about slowing down, examining what we’re experiencing, and seeking wisdom before deciding what it all means.

Let’s be candid – sometimes being the bigger person is hard. In this episode, we’re talking about anger, accountability, retaliation, and those moments when we have to decide whether we’re trying to resolve something ……or simply get even . Because knowing someone else was wrong doesn’t automatically make every response available to us, right?

Sometimes, you simply don’t feel like doing-and that doesn’t make you lazy or weak. In this candy conversation, Dr. Latonia, discusses exhaustion, the need for rest, and giving yourself permission to pause without guilt.

We often assume there will always be more time – another conversation, another visit, another opportunity, another tomorrow. In this episode, we’re talking about being present, appreciating the moments we have, and allowing what we’ve learned from yesterday to change how we live today.

Sometimes the decisions that change our lives, don’t announce themselves as life-changing decisions. In this episode, we’re talking about the power of small choices, small beginnings , and small steps-and how one seemingly insignificant decision can change our direction and eventually change everything.

We often say we’re trying to change-but are our daily habits actually training us for something different? In this episode, we’re talking about the difference between good intentions and intentional practice, why persistence without adjustment can become repetition, and how the things we practice today shape the way we respond tomorrow.

Have you ever looked at yourself and realized you don’t particularly like the person you’ve become? In this episode, we’re talking about how hurt, disappointment, survival, and life‘s experiences can slowly change us and why understanding how we got here doesn’t mean we have to stay here.

What happens when the things we carry mentally and emotionally begin showing up physically? In this episode, we explore the connection between the mind and body, how stress and anxiety can activate our threat response, and why sometimes we don’t see the bill until our body forces us to pay it. I’ll also share a personal example of how my body still responds to a past traumatic experience even when my mind knows I’m safe. Maybe it’s time we stop simply pushing through and start listening to what our bodies are trying to tell us.

Have you ever struggled to understand why God said no to a prayer that meant so much to you. Together we will explore how disappointment, trust, and God‘s greater perspective can lead us to a deeper faith.
