How do you deal with those who don't support you? What do you do with the negative sayings and actions done towards you? You have to be unbothered by the things people do or say to you or around you that are negative, don't support you, and don't love you. You will never move forward in your life, career, motherhood journey, or anything else in life by being bothered by other people.  In this episode of The Latika Vines Show, Latika shares why it is vital for you to be unbothered while giving practical tips on how to do so.

What does going to the next level mean to you? Does it mean getting a promotion at work? Does it mean having an organized home? Does it mean spending more intentional time with your family? Going to the next level in any area of your life requires intention and sacrifice to achieve it. Do you agree?  In this episode of The Latika Vines Show, our guest Sasha Morozov, shares how she was able to go to the next level with her family. She outlines the steps she took to make her home her family's sanctuary. Throughout her experience as a working mom, she has learned that "sometimes work is going to need you and other times home needs you more." And, knowing which priority is more important is what helped her to go to the next level with her family.  A little about Sasha:  Sasha Morozov is a former executive who holds a Master’s in Social Work and is the founder of Sasha x Home. When Sasha isn’t chasing after her two sons, she now utilizes her clinical skills to coach women who are killing it at work but feel like they are failing at home to have more time, less clutter, and systems for a peaceful life. Sasha believes that working moms are exceptional humans who are skilled, devoted, and unstoppable. Sasha has spent almost 15 years working in the non-profit field to help individuals and families create better futures. Sasha is an avid minimalist, productivity master, and obsessed with organizing and designing people’s lives. Sasha has now developed a 4-Step Method that focuses on Self, Home, Relationships, and Systems to help moms hit start on the life they’ve put on pause.

Every March, we celebrate women from the past and present who have made an impact in the United States. However, while we are celebrating other women, we neglect to celebrate ourselves. Often times we neglect to reflect on the perseverance achieved to manage three children while preparing for our biggest proposal at work; or how we were able to achieve a degree while working full-time with a husband and four children at home. And, while we celebrate others we don't think twice about what we have accomplished. Our thoughts most likely include:  I had to do what I had to do Someone had to do it What else was I supposed to do Those are not the thoughts of a working mother who is worth every recognition and celebration she deserves.  Those are not the thoughts of a working mother who has worked her way to juggle the many priorities on her plate.  This is why season 7 of The Latika Vines Show is necessary for working mothers to acknowledge and celebrate how they continue to Make Career History.

Joyce Meyer encourages us by saying, "don't let the fear of taking a stand hold you back from being all you can be and doing all that you can do. You will never be fulfilled and satisfied if you don't fulfill your destiny. You are far too valuable to passively let anyone abuse or misuse you. It is time to take a stand."  Too often you allow yourself to be co-dependent upon other people's feelings to dictate how you will feel for the day.  Too often you allow yourself to be co-dependent upon other people's feelings to dictate how you will lead your life.  In this season of becoming a woman of inner strength and beauty, you must take a stand for yourself and what you believe in to lead a life that is fulfilling and satisfying.

The word 'becoming' is defined as "the process of coming to be something...beauty but more importantly strength." When you think of a woman who is becoming, do you picture her with inner beauty and strength? That is what working moms should think of themselves - becoming a woman of beauty and strength! In this episode of The Latika Vines Show, Latika shares the process she has been taking to become a woman of strength and beauty. The process is forever evolving, but it is widening her perspective on herself, her beliefs, and much more.  As a working mother, you will go through a season in your life where you will question if the life you lead is it or if there is more. You will question if bitterness, anger, emptiness, or resentment is the way of life, or if you deserve more. Latika realized that God wanted more for her life, which prompted her to go on a journey of becoming. Becoming a woman of strength and beauty, the woman God has designed her to be. If you can relate, then this first episode of this season will give you a sneak peek into what you will experience on this journey.  Latika Vines is an Author, Entrepreneur, and Working Mom of 4.

We have officially begun Season 6 of The Latika Vines Show. This new season is going to be memorable as we rediscover the balancing act of who the working mom is in addition to being the woman, wife, sister, and friend to so many. For too long, working mothers have put themselves on the back burner causing them to be unhappy, bitter, angry, and resentful towards themselves and others; but God didn't create any working mom to feel those emotions. He did create her to be who He designed - and that is exactly what you will be discovering in this new Season.  Join Latika and guests as they share their personal stories of overcoming being last on their list to Becoming the wife, mother, C.E.O., career driver, and woman they are destined to be. You don't want to miss this season of Becoming!  Be sure to follow Latika on Twitter to continue to the conversation from the episode to online.   Latika Vines is an Author, Entrepreneur, and Working Mom of 4.

Do you put pressure on yourself to be perfect? In the society we live in, our lives have to be photographic perfection. But, is that reality?  In today's episode of The Latika Vines Show, Latika shares how working mothers can let go of perfection so they can live a life of fulfillment. Latika shares three ways they can let go of perfectionism: 1) let go of unrealistic expectations one step at a time; 2) show the same compassion you show others to yourself, and 3) implement a 30-30-30-30 minute time block to get things done and be done with it. Latika leaves the conversation with the reminder DNP - Done Not Perfect.  Latika Vines is an Author, Entrepreneur, and Working Mom of 4.

Going back to Season 4 during our Season Break... It's easy for us to get lost in the daily routine of being wife, mother, career-driven woman, and everything else, but when we continue to neglect ourselves, bitterness, depression, resentment, and a host of other negative emotions creep into our minds. And, we aren't able to give the energy we desire to give to our family, because of our unhappiness. In this episode of The Latika Vines Show, Latika shares three (3) ways you can create your own happy, immediately, by shifting your main priority to yourself. It doesn't mean that you are being selfish, what it does mean is that you love yourself so much that you need to fill yourself back up, before you can pour into others (e.g. family, work, community, etc...). Just when you have been given directions from the captain of a falling plane to give yourself oxygen before you give it to your children, the same rule applies to your everyday life. You must give yourself the energy and oxygen to be able to thrive so that you can navigate how to thrive with your family and on your job. To create your happy, you must: Establish and dedicate a morning routine where you can spend time with yourself   Commit to moving your body   Create a space that you can retreat to Please remember, your happy is going to be what fits your personality and space, but it's essential for you to establish it so you don't forget about yourself. And, once you have created it, you can begin to embrace it. Latika Vines is an Author, Entrepreneur, and Working Mom of 4.
