Today we’d like to introduce you to Teniqua Denise.
Hi Teniqua, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today.
My name is Teniqua, and I’m the founder of My Recipe My Therapy, LLC, a life coaching practice dedicated to guiding individuals on their journey of personal growth and transformation. Growing up in Brooklyn, New York, and relocating to a satellite town of Raleigh, North Carolina almost 8 years ago, I developed a strong sense of resilience and determination as I experienced and overcame every obstacle that came my way. With over two decades of experience in leadership, management, and coaching services, I’ve accumulated a wealth of knowledge and expertise in guiding individuals as they rewrite their life narratives, reclaim their inner strength, and live their best lives. My own journey of overcoming challenges inspired me to create My Recipe My Therapy, LLC, where I’m deeply committed to fostering growth and transformation in the lives of others. It’s been a fulfilling journey, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to do so, supporting individuals to reach their fullest potential.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Smooth sailing? Far from it! Building a business from the ground up has been like navigating a roller-coaster blindfolded. Every twist and turn has brought its own set of challenges and victories. From learning from my mistakes to balancing the demands of being a wife, a mother, and a solopreneur, amongst the many other hats we as women wear in our lives, it’s been a journey filled with ups and downs. And let’s not forget the unexpected detour of battling and overcoming Stage 4 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. But through it all, I’ve learned and grown, turning each obstacle into an opportunity for growth. It’s been tough, no doubt, but incredibly rewarding.

What has been the most important lesson you’ve learned along your journey?
The most important lesson I’ve learned from my journey is the power of discipline, commitment, and faith. Through navigating tough relationships, health challenges, and various obstacles, I’ve found that sticking to a plan, remaining committed, and trusting in God are fundamental for success in both life and work.
Discipline has been a game-changer for me, providing the structure and consistency needed to persevere through any circumstance. Coupled with unwavering faith as my constant support, I’ve weathered ups and downs with resilience and determination.
Commitment to self-improvement, especially during the most difficult times, has been instrumental in cultivating strength and resilience. This lesson resonates not only in my personal journey but also in the way I approach my businesses.
I’ve witnessed firsthand how adhering to a plan, maintaining commitment, and holding onto faith are essential for clients seeking positive changes in their lives. Understanding that success is a continuous journey requiring consistent effort and unwavering faith, I’m passionate about sharing this wisdom.
