Relocating, navigating relationships, launching and branding my own business, processing grief, and being a caregiver—life was moving fast, yet I felt stuck. I found myself no longer on top of things but instead underneath a mountain of tasks with no clear path. As an educator, entrepreneur, and more, I never realized how much I had learned to simply ‘keep going’ without truly healing.
LaTanya’s coaching has been transformative. For each situation I’ve faced, she has helped me see clearly, understand deeply, and heal while embracing my New Normal. Her continued support and guidance have allowed me to shift my mindset, walk through each new journey with grace, and most importantly—begin healing and understanding my why.
LaTanya and her coaching style are amazing—unconventional, deeply intuitive, and powerful. What I love most about working with her is that there’s no judgment, only humble honesty. She creates a space that’s safe, supportive, and genuinely empowering. I am beyond grateful for the clarity, strength, and self-acceptance she’s helped me uncover.

I realized that saying ‘no’ is never bad if it protects my peace.

Being kind is not just good for others — it’s essential for my mental health
Participant Testimonial
When I look back on the season I was grieving and heartbroken, I know without a doubt that meeting you wasn’t a coincidence, it was fate. I do believe meeting you is one of the Devine detours for my life. We’ve never met but you could see me, a total stranger who was referred to you for a project. You held space for my pain without judgment. In moments where I needed someone to vent to, you did exactly that for me.
You didn’t rush me to “get over it” or tell me to be strong, you simply stayed. You listened when my words broke apart, you understood what I couldn’t say out loud, and you gently reminded me that my feelings were valid. There were days I felt like I was drowning, but your words kept me from being completely consumed by grief.
You helped me remember that even in loss, life still has meaning.
I’ll always believe that you were sent into my life for a reason. Thank you for being a safe space and for your kindness. I’ll never forget how much your care meant to me and still does.
LaTanya Edenburgs was the perfect keynote speaker for our 8th grade promotion ceremony. She brought energy, encouragement, and heartfelt wisdom that truly resonated with our students. Ms. Edenburgs celebrated the accomplishments of our promoting 8th grade class and took the time to recognize the important role of our parents, teachers, and staff in helping students reach this milestone. Her message reminded students that they are the authors of their own stories, and encouraged them to take pride in their journey while looking forward to the exciting opportunities ahead in high school. She spoke about the importance of trying new things, taking care of yourself, and never giving up—even when things get tough. Her words inspired our entire school community, and we are truly grateful to have had her join us for this special celebration.
