Welcome to Candid Conversations with Dr. Latonia, where we talk about faith, feelings, healing, grief, growth, and all the things that don’t always get discussed in church or in everyday life.
As a therapist, minister, author, and educator, I’ve learned that many people are carrying burdens, asking hard questions, and searching for hope. This podcast is a safe place for honest conversations about real life, emotional wellness, spiritual growth, and the challenges we all face along the way.
So grab your coffee, pull up a chair, and let’s have a candid conversation.
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?

Episode 15: Is it God, Is it Me, or Is it Something Else?
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.

Episode 14: Sometimes I Want My Lick Back
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?

We often say we’re trying to change-but are our daily habits actually training us for something different?

Episode 8: When The Mind Speaks, The Body Listens
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.
