LaTonya MeChelle
EYE AM
I was unseen for twelve years. So I see people.
For twelve years I told everybody I got hit in the eyeball with a football. They believed me. I had an answer for everything. My son told me later the smile was fake. He was the only one who ever said it out loud.
As a life coach I am not telling you what to do. My job is to tap into you and help you become the person you were created to be.
Hey HoneyBuns
Military brat. Grade school in Japan. High school in Spain and California. Then I served my country myself: eight and a half years active duty in the United States Air Force, five years in the Reserves, and straight from the military into government contracting. 24 years of military service and federal contracting before I built my own company.
I have been homeless. I have been evicted. I lived in my car and kept coaching other people through their lives. Rebuilding LaTonya after I had fallen so far down my whole face was scraped up. Not because of the abusive relationship, but because I had given up on myself. So I stopped giving up on me. That's the whole method.
Host of the Love and Happiness Talk Show. Editor in Chief of LoveChology Magazine. Former red carpet interviewer, television sports analyst, and radio personality on The Sunday Show, KTOY FM 104.7. I have interviewed Patti LaBelle, Kirk Franklin, Teddy Riley, The Whispers, Marvin Winans, Ronnie DeVoe, Zacardi Cortez, Michael Jai White, Evander Holyfield, and the late Louis Gossett Jr. I have covered the Essence Festival, The Legendary Awards, BMI's Celebration of Legends, and Mayor Andrew Young's Birthday Celebration.
I'm not here for you to like me or love me. That was never the point. I'm here to be the person I needed and didn't have. When you walk away from time with me, I want you walking away wanting more for yourself, loving yourself more, and ready to do better. That's the LaTonya MeChelle experience. It's not a session. It's a shift.
THE SYSTEM I BUILT
I made up my own words. Because the old ones kept me small.
The CHOICES Lifestyle
The choosing. Constantly Having Opportunities to Increase, Change and Empower Self. Everybody has a choice to make. The smart ones take the opportunity and make it a lifestyle.
The WOW FACTOR Mindset
Walking in your WOW. Loving yourself. Putting in the work every day, especially on the days you're at your worst. Making yourself a priority. Being grateful, because it's a blessing just to be who you are. Nobody else gets to be you. So even at your worst, you can still find a way to walk in your WOW and know how much it means to be you.
DONE DUMMIFYING
Making yourself smaller so everybody else stays comfortable. Playing down, playing along, playing small. "You're not tired, HoneyBun. You're dummified." Catching it and doing something about it is DONE DUMMIFYING. That one's ongoing. I still catch myself.
"I do not conform to the world. The world conforms to me."

REVIEWS
What The Room Said
LaTonya MeChelle was nothing short of phenomenal at the Say It with Your Chest Girls Conference. She delivered a message so powerful, direct, and deeply moving that it resonated far beyond the young women in the audience, reaching every single woman in the room.
