The most surprising part isn’t the pain—it’s the moment the craving disappeared. Rochelle sits with us and tells a story many hide: childhood molestation, a decades-long addiction that felt like relief until it wasn’t, and the day she chose a police car over another hit. What follows is not a miracle montage but a set of small, relentless choices—thirty days of prayer in county, six months of structure, and a first year built around meetings, mentors, and learning to trust quiet again.

We trace the ripple effects of early harm into adult life: hypervigilance with kids, guilt over sending her children to safer homes, and the complicated love that still shows up for family who couldn’t show up for her. Rochelle is candid about triggers, boundaries, and the humility of “one day at a time.” She talks about getting baptized high and still being met by grace, about discovering she was emotionally stuck at twelve and deciding to bring that younger girl forward instead of leaving her behind. There’s laughter here too—a frank honesty about dentures, math classes that won’t quit, and the way a partner’s steady love can rewrite the meaning of touch.

We move from survival to service. Rochelle returns to school for human services, earns a substance abuse certificate, and lays out plans for a recovery home focused on people leaving prison—IDs, stability, dignity, and a path back to community. We talk about protecting children, refusing to be bystanders, and practicing the B3U ethos: burn the lies, break the cycles, become unstoppable. If you’ve ever felt numb just to make it through, this conversation offers a map back to yourself—realistic, faith-filled, and fiercely hopeful.

Ever notice how one heated moment can rewrite the story—casting you as the problem while the real issue slips into the background? We go straight at that trap and unpack the quiet ways we hand over our power: explosive reactions that cost credibility, silence that breeds resentment, and people-pleasing that looks kind but leaves us empty. Through raw, funny, and candid stories—from a Chuck E. Cheese confrontation to navigating racial disrespect with composure—we explore how to stay grounded when others expect a performance.

Ashley opens up about military life as a Black woman and the pressure to fit the “pit bull” stereotype, sharing how calm leadership can be more effective than volume. We walk through what it means to be strategic under stress: when to speak, when to document, when to step back. The conversation moves into trauma, therapy, and the long work of rebuilding self-worth. Fear still knocks, but it doesn’t get a vote. If you’ve ever felt stuck in loops of overthinking, muted needs, or relationships that drain, this is a roadmap out.

We get practical with boundaries that actually protect peace—saying a full-stop no, skipping environments that sabotage growth, and setting standards in dating and friendship that add rather than subtract. We talk parenting as a mirror for power, leaving toxic patterns when our kids start to dim, and choosing purpose over approval through daily habits that build momentum. Faith undergirds it all—naming God as the source of courage and the anchor that steadies every step. Hit play to learn how to hold your center, keep your voice, and move forward with intention.

The journey from being misunderstood to discovering your true potential often requires someone who can see the diamond beneath the rough exterior. In this profound conversation with Prophetess Moina Tucker, founder of The Altar Experience, we uncover how early labels nearly limited her future before a dedicated teacher recognized her gifts.

Prophetess Tucker shares her remarkable transition from being placed in remedial classes to discovering her spiritual calling. With raw honesty, she reveals how mentorship transformed her life and shaped her ministry philosophy: "Seeing people, not looking at them." This powerful distinction guides her approach to connecting with those who might feel judged or excluded in traditional religious settings.

Through vivid metaphors, Tucker explains how diamonds form deep within the earth until they become so magnificent the pressure pushes them to the surface, where they finally shine when exposed to air. Similarly, many of us wait beneath the surface for someone to recognize our potential or for circumstances to push us toward our destiny.

The conversation takes a practical turn as Tucker addresses the challenges of balancing multiple roles—pastor, military veteran, publisher, wife, mother, and grandmother. Her candid admission that "sometimes I didn't have it together" offers refreshing permission for listeners to acknowledge their own struggles. Her wisdom shines in statements like "You can't pour from an empty cup" and "Have your moment, but don't let your moment have you"—acknowledging emotions while refusing to be defined by them.

For anyone questioning their purpose or facing setbacks, Tucker provides actionable guidance: align your work with your passion, study your craft, learn from others, and most importantly, protect your energy by setting boundaries. "Stop giving people the best of you that don't deserve you," she advises, drawing from biblical wisdom about discernment.

Whether you're seeking spiritual renewal, struggling to overcome labels, or simply needing encouragement to reclaim your power, this conversation offers both comfort and challenge. Share this episode with someone who needs to be reminded of their diamond-like potential!
