"Motivated Mom" Hosts Retreat of ALL Mommy-Retreats

LaToyia Dennis has always been a giver by nature. The doting mother, wife and entrepreneur has always taken special interest in other people having what they need to be comfortable and happy. Even when she didn’t want to live her own life, she found her selflessness to be reason enough to live.

Years ago Dennis found herself standing on the ledge of a bridge. “I just didn’t want to be here anymore,” she admits.

As she was about to leap a car came screeching up behind her. The car slammed on its breaks and the driver emerged. A man came screaming from the opposite side of the car in the direction of Dennis. “PLEASE, HELP HIM – MY CUSTOMER NEEDS HELP!” The man yelled as he swung open the back passenger car door. Dennis jumped down from the ledge and ran to investigate the backseat. In one quick motion, the man threw her into the backseat and sped off.

“You’re not dying today,” he told her.  

Dennis was able to tell this story over the weekend to a large group of women at her "What Motivates You" Retreat.

There were tears of both surprise and joy. That man saved Dennis’ life and now her life mission is to be a bright spot for so many others.

The Motivated Moms Empowered Retreat began on Friday and for two days boasted fun activities, inspiration, relaxation, motivation and pampering for Moms. Women from all over the country, all walks of life, various backgrounds and cultures all convened at the Hilton Rockwall for a weekend full of very prominent speaker panels, celebrity guests, invaluable information and an unforgettable union of like-minded women.   

For Dennis, this event was a longtime coming. The well-known businesswoman and blogger-mom had several sponsors for the retreat and was able to call on her fellow mom-entrepreneurs to pull off a great event.

Dennis, along with retreat co-host – blogger Christine St.Vil also debuted their new Fly Mom Box – a monthly subscription box with all sorts of goodies for mothers.
