Hi T. Denise, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.

If life has taught me anything, it’s that there are no certainties; the path could shift at any time. Whether you’re healing from trauma or just trying to figure out what’s next… It’s HOW we climb mountains and overcome what’s seemingly impossible that’s most important.

I can remember being deployed in Baghdad and knowing that God gave me a chance to make it out of the war zone, I was going to LIVE in the calling he had for my life! I became a life coach and years later the FIRST life coach to be employed at an HBCU and now today I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling and Life Coaching!

I own and operate a holistic coaching and counseling business that provides a safe space for people to VENT! My service is called ” Venting Session” and it allows a 45 min, hassle-free opportunity to vent with no strings attached.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
In addition to running my own business, I work as a Forensic Therapist specializing in Sexual offender treatment. It can be challenging juggling being a mother, a wife, a therapist and pursuing your PHD.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Dama Bonita, LLC?

With me, you have a safe space to VENT!
