LaTonya, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I started in the speaking industry about 2 years ago, it was then when I reconnected with my passion and started to walk in my purpose and embrace my power. I began to realize that I was making a powerful impact by simply telling my story and letting others know that I was someone that not only understood where they were, but I could also help them overcome the obstacles that was stopping them from getting to where they wanted to be personally or in business. I combined my life experiences with my career experiences and created my coaching business Bentley (my maiden name) Lifestyled Company.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
I started my speaking business in April of 2021. My first event sold out in less than 24 hours; I was ecstatic! The buzz had hit the city and all social media platforms. The question of “When is your next event?” poured in rapidly. I got right to it planning my 2-day conference that took place in August of 2021. This event was life changing, it was a packed house. My business was peaking from the start until…October 2021 it came to an abrupt halt as my family life began to crumble. My marriage had hit its lowest of lows and as we moved into separation that soon led to divorce. A short 2 weeks after the separation of my marriage the closest person in my life, the woman that raised me began to transition from this side of earth. She departed to join all my other grandparents, my mother, and my brother on October 29, 2021. I was stuck, I felt like I was losing everything all at once, the family I had known my entire life, the family I was building, my mind and my business. The business that was quickly booming now laid dormant at my feet. However, if there is anyone that knows me knows that no matter how hard I fall I will ALWAYS get back up!!!! One day I told myself ” Tonya you’ve cried long enough, get your ass up and get back in the game NOW!”. Just like that I’m back! I have this amazing power to shift my mindset into push mode, so that no matter what happens I push! I push beyond limiting beliefs, I push beyond fear, I push beyond the pain, I push beyond failure, I push beyond the No’s I push beyond procrastination, no matter what lies NOTHING will stop me from achieving my goals. I will push into my purpose with power!
What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?
The lesson that I had to unlearn was that there are limits to your beliefs. I have learned over the years that my ideas, my mindset, my goals, dreams and desires are limitless! I can do, be and have all that I desire. Nothing can nor will stop me from achieving my goals.
