Discovering your authentic self

In the end, what counts most is how much love you gave, how compassionately you lived, and how confidently you released what wasn't meant for you. Discovering your authentic self is the ultimate goal.


You will also have much more stability in your life as you will no longer depend on others for fulfillment. Your emotions and reactions will not be volatile and you will actually become detached (but not uncaring) from a lot of stuff that goes on in the world Love is the ultimate building block of the entire universe. Humans are born into the arms of loving parents and die with their loved ones around them (ideally). They live and die by love alone. Your ability to love yourself and others is all that really matters. How to get there is another matter entirely. For this, you have to find out who you are and love yourself unconditionally.

Finding oneself is a journey of shedding illusion, peeling away layers of programming, and forgetting social behaviors and attitudes. The concept of the ‘self’ has been described by many names, but labels aside, it can be defined as who you truly are. This journey of self-discovery can be challenging and uncomfortable at times, but ultimately it leads to a deeper understanding and acceptance of oneself. It involves questioning beliefs and values that have been instilled since childhood, and learning to distinguish them from one’s own authentic thoughts and feelings. This process also requires acknowledging and releasing past traumas and limiting beliefs that may be holding one back from reaching their full potential.


Furthermore, finding oneself is not a one-time event, but rather an ongoing process that evolves throughout one’s lifetime. As we grow and experience new things, our sense of self may shift and change as well. It’s important to embrace this fluidity and not hold onto a rigid idea of who we think we should be. Ultimately, the journey of finding oneself is a rewarding one. It allows us to live a more authentic and fulfilling life, and to connect with others on a deeper level. It requires courage, vulnerability, and a willingness to explore the unknown, but the end result is worth it.

Meet Latasha

Meet Latasha Harris, RN — Founder of Heal Not Hustle
turned her pain into purpose, and her hustle into healing.

​

Latasha, is a phenomenal woman whose story is a living testament to what it means to rise from the depths of pain with grace, strength, and softness. After losing her son to cancer in 1997, she did what many strong women do—she kept going. She buried her grief beneath the weight of hustle, convinced that staying busy would keep the pain away.

​

For 26 years, she pushed forward without ever pausing to heal.

​

But healing has a way of calling us back—and Latasha finally answered. Her journey inward began not long ago, sparked by the realization that while she had built a successful life, something was still missing: peace. She hadn’t just lost her son; she had lost parts of herself along the way. Now, she's reclaiming every piece with intention, softness, and truth.

​

Latasha created the Heal Not Hustle Retreat to offer what she never had—a sacred space for women to pause, feel, and begin again. Whether you're grieving a child, facing unresolved trauma, or simply exhausted from carrying life’s weight alone, Latasha’s story reminds you: you don’t have to hustle through healing.

​

With her calming presence, nurturing spirit, and raw honesty, Latasha invites women into a space where healing is not only possible—it’s powerful. Her ability to blend real-life grit with soulful compassion makes her both relatable and inspiring. She understands that healing isn’t linear, and that strength doesn’t always look loud. Sometimes, it looks like rest. Stillness. Boundaries. Breath.

​

Through Heal Not Hustle, Latasha is building more than a retreat—she’s building a movement. One that teaches women that healing isn’t weakness; it’s the ultimate form of self-love.

With Latasha by your side, your healing journey will be held with love, led with truth, and guided by someone who truly understands.
