Latreisha Star is the creator of Beyond Unique, a podcast and personal growth platform dedicated to self-love, healing, and authentic living. Through her story, she reminds others that it's never too late to reinvent yourself, challenge old beliefs, and build a life that feels true to who you are. Read on to discover how Latreisha is breaking cycles of self-abandonment, external validation, and limiting beliefs by choosing herself and giving herself permission to evolve.
How do you define a "Cycle Breaker?"
To me, a Cycle Breaker is someone who gives themselves permission to evolve. It's someone who is willing to question old beliefs, challenge unhealthy patterns, and choose themselves over and over again. A Cycle Breaker understands that healing, growth, and becoming don't have an expiration date. We are all worthy of creating a life that feels authentic and fulfilling at any age.
What adversities or experiences have you lived through?
Some of the experiences I had in childhood unknowingly followed me into adulthood. They influenced the relationships I chose, the way I viewed myself, and the unhealthy patterns I found myself repeating. I've experienced trauma, heartbreak, health challenges, and difficult seasons in my life that ultimately led me to one of the greatest lessons I've learned: the relationship I have with myself changes everything.
What is a cycle, belief or pattern you’ve worked to break or challenge in your life?: The biggest cycle I've worked to break is the belief that love, happiness, fulfillment, and peace existed somewhere outside of myself. I spent much of my life seeking externally what I eventually discovered had been within me all along.
What helped you begin healing, growing, or changing that cycle?
Self-love changed everything for me. It taught me that choosing myself isn't selfish, it's necessary. The relationship I have with myself influences every experience, relationship, and decision in my life. Learning to love myself has given me the freedom to continue growing, learning, and becoming who I am meant to be.
What are your proudest accomplishments?
One of my proudest accomplishments is giving myself permission to evolve. At 46 years old, I recently made the symbolic decision to legally change my last name to Star. For me, it represents choosing myself and honoring the person I am today while making space for the person I'm still becoming. I'm most proud of becoming someone I genuinely love spending time with and understanding that I never have to stop growing or reinventing myself.
Is there a message, quote, lesson, or reminder you’d like to share with others who may be struggling along their healing journey?
If there's one thing I've learned, it's that it's never too late to choose yourself. You are allowed to change, begin again, and create a life that feels authentic to you. You are not behind because you're still learning. In fact, learning is one of life's greatest gifts.
I don't want people to read my story and think, "Wow, she's so strong." I want them to think, "Maybe I can choose myself too.
Do you have any projects you're working on that you'd like to highlight?
I'm passionate about helping others embrace self-love, personal growth, and the freedom to become who they are. My life's mission is to encourage others to give themselves permission to evolve and understand that it's never too late to choose themselves.
One of the projects closest to my heart is Beyond Unique, my podcast and platform dedicated to conversations about self-love, personal growth, and becoming more of who we are. My goal is to create a space where people feel inspired to choose themselves, embrace their journey, and understand that it's never too late to begin again.
