Dr. Latoya shares the importance of being intentional about our self-care. Circumstances shift our journey over the course of our lives and that intentionality will alleviate some stress and fear when things are uncertain. Let's be honest, changes have a tendency to happen quickly and unannounced.

When it comes to healthy lifestyles there are three areas that Dr. Latoya put at the forefront.

Eating healthy
Stress Management
Physical Fitness

While many focus on healthy eating and physical fitness, your stress management is just as important. Many mothers are the superwoman in their home, in their family, at church, and at work. We want you to know that we see you! You are not alone.

Dr. Latoya's Mompreneur tips:
~ First things first, determine and SAY what is important to you
~ Ask yourself why you are doing this action or why you are not doing a certain action
~ Let your loved ones know when you need a break
~ Take things one step at a time
