When Being Capable Becomes a Cage: LaTonya Renee Flood on Leading Without Losing Yourself
For years, LaTonya Renee Flood handed out the "bricks" to build everyone else's success — clients, friends, family — until she turned around one day and realized she hadn't built anything for herself. In this conversation, the kingdom strategist and founder of FACE (Female African American Christian Entrepreneurs) opens up about the hidden cost of people-pleasing in leadership, a season of depression she didn't recognize until it nearly became a crisis, and the fifth-grade memory that quietly shaped how she led her marriage for over a decade. LaTonya also unpacks her "domestic CEO" approach to leadership — how to stay visible in business without abandoning your household — and the practical way she now uses AI and a small team to protect her time and energy. This conversation explores identity, healing, and what it takes for women to lead from wholeness instead of exhaustion. LaTonya is the author of I Found My Light, Now Go Find Yours .
