REACH Season One Celebrating Women's History Month with Yvonne Pryor
You don’t want to miss this episode of REACH. Women, it’s our time to shine and be recognized for all our hard work! Paralyzed, stuck, immobile, frozen; do these words speak to your current situation? Do you look in the mirror and see your full potential or do you see someone who has become complacent? Is that you? Are you allowing someone’s words, the naysayers, to keep you from sharing your gift with others, is that voice yours? I’ve been there, I saw her. Listen, as I share my story on how I allowed someone’s words to temporarily paralyze my gift! But then, I turned those negatives voices, even my own, into something that allowed me to push and give life to my gifts. It’s time to step up and step out and be the women God called us to be. This month, I salute and thank the women who came before us, those who were the trailblazers, and the Firsts; I celebrate women who are continuing to pass the baton. For the month of March, I will be showcasing some amazing women who are doing some awesome work within my local community. This show is for you, if you know you have something to share and you’ve been waiting for the “right” time, the time is NOW. By the end of this show, I pray you will be moved to step up and let your light shine.

Season One Self-Care: Heart Health with LaTanya Settles
On this episode LaTanya Settles shares how women, especially women of color can take back their health, incorporate exercise to reduce the risk of heart disease and choose a lifestyle to be FitForLife! Meet our guest, LaTanya Settles, a personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor and Fitness Blogger. LaTanya says, as a child, growing up in a military family, fitness was never a topic of conversation. She never engaged in exercise on a regular basis-outside of gym class in school. At one point, she wanted to take a weight lifting class, but was told that was just for boys. As a young adult, LaTanya's weight would often fluctuate. Like many of us, she would apply quick fixes to bring her weight down, only to create a yo-yo effect. After the birth of her second child, LaTanya's weight had reached 210 lbs. She soon realized she wouldn't be able to quickly bounce back to her normal weight and became depressed. She was desperate for a real solution. LaTanya's fitness journey began after being inspired by a friend who had lost 80 lbs. and was competing in figure shows. LaTanya began her fitness regimen slowly by walking 5 miles a day. As the weight began to melt off, she realized fitness is more than just losing weight. So, she began to do more. She wanted to transform her body to a sculpted, lean machine. As her passion for fitness grew, so did her desire to become a figure competitor. LaTanya has placed in the Top 5 in several National Physique Competitions, including a 1st Place ribbon. Her long-term goal is to become an IFBB professional. LaTanya's passion led her to want to uplift, motivate and inspire other women to be fit. LaTanya, an Ohio native, lives in Columbus with her husband and two daughters. She enjoys motivating others-especially women-to live a fit and healthy lifestyle.
