LaTasha Walker-Hall shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Good morning LaTasha , we’re so happy to have you here with us and we’d love to explore your story and how you think about life and legacy and so much more. So let’s start with a question we often ask: What do you think others are secretly struggling with—but never say?
I honestly believe that many of us are silently struggling with grief, though we rarely say it out loud. Not only the grief of losing loved ones who are no longer here, but also the mourning of relationships and connections with people we thought would last a lifetime. Over the last five years, so much has changed, and much of it was out of our control. We as a world were forced to stop running and face who we truly are, stripped of distractions, only to prove ourselves to the reflection staring back at us.
In that process, we’ve lost more than just people we’ve lost time, life, love, compassion, and the respect we once held for one another. It feels like everything has become desensitized, played out for the world to see on the nearest screen. Everybody wants to go viral, no matter the cost, and it has broken something within us. I understand even more so now that Healing doesn’t look the same anymore, because instead of moving forward, we are often forced to relive our deepest pain over and over again through cameras and cellphones. Some of the most traumatic, humiliating, heartbreaking moments no longer fade quietly into the past; they’re replayed endlessly, making it harder to ever truly heal.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is LaTasha Walker-Hall, but many know me simply as Tasha. My life’s work and my brand are rooted in transformation helping women, communities, and even entire organizations see that no matter where you’ve been, there is always a way to reclaim your power, restore your hope, and rise again.
What makes my journey unique is that I don’t speak from theory; I speak from experience. I was born and raised in Akron, Ohio, and I’ve walked through seasons of heartbreak, divorce, disappointment, and starting over more times than I can count. I’ve been the girl who had to grow up too fast, the woman who carried the weight of family and work on her shoulders, and the leader who had to fight for her voice in spaces where it wasn’t always welcomed. Yet through it all, I learned that every chapter whether it was working in cottections, leading treatment services, or pursuing my education in nonprofit management all ov it was preparing me to stand boldly in my calling today.
Walker-Hall Life Coaching is not just a business, it’s a movement. It’s about walking alongside women who feel broken, overlooked, or stuck, and reminding them that their story doesn’t end in the valley. It’s about building resources like workbooks, devotionals, and coaching sessions that speak life back into places that feel empty. My brand’s heartbeat is empowerment with a spiritual foundation because I believe healing isn’t just about mindset shifts, it’s about soul shifts.
What I’m working on now excites me because it’s all about legacy and impact. From launching my Reclaiming Her Power workbook, to expanding the non collegiate sorority Chi Chi Xi as one of the Co-founders to creating community programs like Kickstart Kindness, I’m weaving my personal story into platforms that help others rewrite theirs. I’m also embracing my role as a voice, whether that’s on social media, in speaking engagements, or through the written word, to show that healing is possible, resilience is powerful, and faith is the bridge that carries us forward.
At the end of the day, what I want people to know about me is simple: I am proof that broken things can be rebuilt into something beautiful. My brand is proof that what was once a burden can become a blessing. And my story is proof that when you dare to face your reflection, trust God, and keep pressing forward, you will rise higher than you ever imagined.
Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What part of you has served its purpose and must now be released?
Wow, this is definitely a deep question. For so long, I’ve operated in complete survival mode since as far back as I can remember, I felt like I had to protect myself from what seemed like the whole world. That part of me, the constant fighter, served its purpose. She kept me alive, she kept me strong, and she taught me resilience. But now, I’ve reached a place where I no longer have to just survive I finally get to live.
And that shift has been so beautiful. I can stop, breathe, smell the flowers, and watch the sunsets without guilt or fear. The little 8-year-old girl in me, the one who had to grow up too fast, is now free to heal. She is no longer carrying the weight of survival alone. She can feel love in its truest form what it really looks like, what it really feels like and she can enjoy the present moment without overthinking, without shrinking, without doubting that she is worthy of every good thing that comes her way.
What I’m releasing is the survival mode that once protected me but no longer serves me. What I’m embracing is life, love, and the fullness of who I was always created to be.
If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
If I could say one kind thing to my younger self, it would be this: “You are enough, exactly as you are. You don’t have to carry the weight of the world to prove your worth. The love, peace, and joy you’ve always longed for will find you and you will one day see that every scar became a source of strength. Keep holding on, because the best chapters of your story are still ahead.”
Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? How do you differentiate between fads and real foundational shifts?
For me, the difference between a fad and a real foundational shift comes down to this: is it surface level, or does it change lives? Fads are loud, trendy, and here for the moment, but they don’t last because they don’t carry depth. They don’t take root in people’s hearts. A true foundational shift may not always get the spotlight right away, but it transforms the way people live, think, and love and that’s what I’m committed to building through my work.
With Walker-Hall Life Coaching and the initiatives I’m creating, like my Reclaiming Her Power workbook series or the Kickstart Kindness program, I’m not chasing trends I’m planting seeds. Seeds of healing, self-worth, faith, and empowerment that will continue to grow long after the moment has passed. And as a Co-Founder of Chi Chi Xi Sorority, I am honored to be part of shaping a sisterhood that isn’t about creating a quick buzz, but about laying a foundation of service, creativity, and culture that will stand the test of time.
What makes the difference is intention. If something only entertains, it may feel good for a moment but it won’t carry you forward. But when something equips, heals, and empowers you to shift the way you see yourself and your future, that’s when you know it’s not just a fad it’s a movement, and it’s here to stay.
Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. If you laid down your name, role, and possessions—what would remain?
If I laid down my name, my role, and every possession I’ve worked for, what would remain is the essence of who I truly am my faith, my resilience, my love for people, and the lessons that shaped me. Titles can be stripped, roles can change, material things can disappear, but the character I’ve built through trials, the compassion I carry for others, and the hope I refuse to let go of will still be here.
At my core, I am a servant, a healer, and a woman who has learned to rise from broken places with grace. What also remains is my loyalty because even when life has betrayed me, I’ve chosen to stay true to the people I love and the values I believe in. My faith anchors me; it has carried me through seasons that should have broken me, and it continues to remind me that my purpose is greater than my pain. And then there is forgiveness. I’ve learned that holding on to bitterness only chains me to the past, but releasing it not only frees others, it frees me to keep growing, loving, and moving forward.
Even without the labels or the accomplishments, what remains is my voice, my testimony, my loyalty, my faith, and my willingness to forgive. That is the part of me no one can take away, and the part I pray lives on in others long after I’m gone.
