Does it sound familiar to want to create a safe and respected space, but feeling like something is missing? You may have been told to simply be nice or go with the flow in order to foster healthy relationships, but still find yourself feeling unheard and disrespected.
The pain of constantly feeling like your boundaries are being crossed and not getting the respect you deserve can be overwhelming. It's time to explore the importance of defining core values and setting clear boundaries to truly create the safe and supportive environment you desire.
My special guest is LaToya Nashae:
LaToya Nashae's journey into the realm of core values and setting boundaries began with a powerful revelation. Growing up in a community where individuality wasn't always encouraged, she felt the impact of not having defined core values and boundaries.
This absence led her to experience moments of internal conflict and uncertainty. However, it was during a deeply introspective period that she recognized the profound influence of these foundational principles on her life. LaToya's personal experiences ignited a passion within her to guide others on their own path of self-discovery and boundary-setting.
Her journey is a testament to the transformative power of defining core values and setting boundaries, and it serves as a source of inspiration for those seeking to embark on a similar journey of self-awareness and growth. Through her unique narrative, LaToya brings a relatable perspective that resonates with individuals navigating the complexities of personal development and relationship-building.

Foster maturity and wisdom for healthier and more fulfilling relationships.

Create a secure and welcoming space for personal and collective growth.
Redefining Success
The definition of success is an ever-evolving mosaic of goals achieved, dreams realized, and satisfaction earned. It no longer is a singular, universal narrative but as unique as every individual. This increasingly personal and fluid understanding of success is grounded in an internal and holistic perception of growth. Recognizing our realities, acknowledging our potential, and prioritizing our peace, we redefine success in our terms, embedding it in mindfulness. LaToya Nashae, through her experiences shared with LaQuita Monley, elucidates how she discovered her capacity for inspiring others, and how their appreciation marked her success. She spoke of her view of success, one that is aligned with fulfilling her purpose, and how respecting that purpose leads to a more effective outreach bringing tangible changes. She supports LaQuita’s message in her book, emphasizing the importance of developing a growth mindset to pursue success on one's own terms.
Creating Your Own Safe Space
Cultivating a safe space for oneself is akin to carving out a sanctuary where emotions can breathe freely, and thoughts can flower fearlessly. This personal arena values introspection over judgment, understanding over scorn, and clear boundaries over encroachment. Based on core values, it also holds up as a refuge for authenticity and independence, a space that respects individuality and boundaries.
During our conversation, LaToya Nashae affirms the significance of setting boundaries that align with one’s core values. She emphasizes the utility of this method in crafting a personal realm that is not only safe but also interacts seamlessly with others. She appreciates the concept that LaQuita elucidated, recognizing the wisdom behind creating such personal spaces, valuing their influence and importance in personal growth.
Valuing What’s Valuable
Much like panning for gold amidst cluttered rubble, finding value in the hustle and bustle of life can often feel like a daunting task. But just like the gleam of precious gold, the true value of things shines bright if we know where to look. Fostering a keen eye for what really matters is not merely beneficial but an absolute necessity for growth, both on a personal and professional level. Standing firmly on the pillar of giving priority to what is inherently valuable, this notion banishes the insignificant clutter, refining our focus on our true north. In her conversation with LaQuita Monley, LaToya Nashae echoes the aforementioned sentiment, articulating the necessity of valuing that which is truly valuable. Drawing from her own journey, she elaborates on how she unintentionally found her passion for speaking and ingrained it as a vital part of her profession. From being cherished as a capable writer in her childhood to being praised as an inspiring speaker with donations flocking in, she relished every milestone of her journey.
