Smith and Desiree sit down for a raw, Spirit-led conversation about avoidance, identity, and what it really means to get over it — not in the dismissive sense, but in the biblical one.

Smith for the most personal conversation of her career. She opens up about growing up in West End Birmingham, being raised by a single mother across multiple schools, dropping out of college, a near-death experience at 19, and the moment she surrendered her life to God. <br />From marrying young and going back to school in her 30s with kids in tow, to earning her way into Harvard Kennedy School and building a PR firm that counted TD Jakes, Magic Johnson, and Burger King as clients — this is the story behind the fight. <br />She also breaks down her #SheWorks mantra, why she invests heavily in workforce development for women, and what it really means to be a woman of God in a male-dominated political arena. <br />If you've ever been told you started too late, came from the wrong place, or don't fit the mold — this episode is yours. <b>  WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE </b><b></b><br /><ul><li>Growing up in West End Birmingham on Section 8 and food stamps</li><li>A near-death experience at 19 and a life-changing encounter with God</li><li>Going back to school as a mom in her 30s — and how a storm led to a scholarship</li><li>From Jeff State to Harvard Kennedy School: the non-traditional path to excellence</li><li>Building a PR firm from $500 with TD Jakes as her first client</li><li>Why she's known as 'Mama Scales' — and what she does when cameras aren't watching</li><li>The #SheWorks movement and her message to women entrepreneurs</li></ul><b> ABOUT THE GUEST </b><b></b> LaShunda Scales is a Jefferson County Commissioner representing District 6 in Birmingham, Alabama.

Ricka opens up about worship beyond the microphone: sacrifice, surrender, dying to self, and learning that real worship begins where comfort ends.<br /><br />She shares her story of living homeless for three years, surviving verbal and physical abuse at home, navigating church hurt, and wrestling with anger toward God — all while serving, leading worship, and trying to stay faithful. Ricka also discusses her deliverance from 13 years of pornography addiction, how generational patterns show up in our lives, and what it means to break cycles for the sake of your bloodline.<br /><br />We talk psalmistry, prophetic sound, how to discern the heart of God, why setlists can’t carry the oil, and the difference between surviving and surrendering. <br /><br /><b>In this episode we cover:</b><br />• What worship truly is (and why it requires death)<br />• Homelessness, shame, and spiritual survival<br />• The difference between pain and dying to self<br />• Prophetic worship vs. worship leading<br />• Porn addiction &amp; breaking sexual strongholds<br />• Abuse, trauma, and emotional muzzling<br />• Generational bondage and unfinished business<br />• Navigating sexuality as a prophetic woman<br />• Waiting for marriage &amp; staying pure<br /><br /><b>Question of the Episode:</b><br />What part of Ricka’s story did you see yourself in?<br /><br />If this episode blessed you, share it, comment below, and show Ricka some love.<br /><br /><b>Remember:</b> Life could be much more simple… if you just ask. <br /><b></b><br /><b>Connect With Our Guest:</b><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/rickathatsme/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@rickathatsme</a><br /><b><br />🎙️ Need a place to be reminded you're not alone?

They open up about burnout, rest, and learning to slow down enough to hear God clearly. From Genesis and Habakkuk 2:2–3, they break down how to write the vision, make it legible, and recognize the season you’re in. This is your reminder to stop rushing the process and stop calling yourself behind — you’re right on time. In this conversation:<ul><li>What “write it legibly” really means ✍🏾</li><li>The difference between process and progress</li><li>How rest gives clarity</li><li>“Partial vision = partial blessing”</li><li>Why you must identify your season before you move</li></ul>If you’ve ever wrestled with impatience, overwhelm, or uncertainty about your journey — this episode will bring you peace and perspective.

They open up about burnout, rest, and learning to slow down enough to hear God clearly. From Genesis and Habakkuk 2:2–3, they break down how to write the vision, make it legible, and recognize the season you’re in. This is your reminder to stop rushing the process and stop calling yourself behind — you’re right on time. In this conversation:<ul><li>What “write it legibly” really means ✍🏾</li><li>The difference between process and progress</li><li>How rest gives clarity</li><li>“Partial vision = partial blessing”</li><li>Why you must identify your season before you move</li></ul>If you’ve ever wrestled with impatience, overwhelm, or uncertainty about your journey — this episode will bring you peace and perspective.

They dig into why compartmentalizing faith hurts effectiveness, how to follow the Holy Spirit in everyday decisions, and why “rhythm over balance” keeps you healthy. Omar shares practical habits (Word-first, church-first) and creator wisdom that make space for both the marketplace and ministry. If you’re building a business and serving your church, this conversation is a roadmap to doing both—by grace.<br /><br /><b>Connect With Our Guest:</b><br /><b>Omar El-Takrori is a content creator, entrepreneur and pastor who teaches how to make a bigger impact with your business by using video.<br /><br />YouTube: https://youtube.com/@omareltakrori?si=pWxwDqEJ5MpbhgxZ<br /><br />Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/omareltakrori?igsh=MWpzZmM4ZWQ1eXBxZA==<br /><br />Content To Cash Challenge: https://go.thevideodept.co/omarmasterclass</b><br /><b></b><br /><b><br />Yes365 Collective is a community dedicated to saying “yes” to God every day.

Enrique opens up about how teaching grounds him and prevents him from being exploited for his musical gift. He shares how becoming a father has reshaped his view of presence, healing, and worth. From navigating rejection from his own father to realizing he used to spend time with God only when preparing for an engagement—this episode peels back the layers of performance, faith, and purpose. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re called or just being used, this one’s for you.<br /><b></b><br /><b>Connect With Our Guest:</b><br />Enrique Holmes is a prophetic worship leader, educator, and gospel artist known for blending ministry and marketplace influence. From his early start in the children’s choir to chart-topping songs like Miracle Worker and I Thank God, Enrique’s sound and message have inspired worshippers around the world. A husband, father, and preacher, Enrique passionately declares that nothing is too hard for God, using music and ministry to call this generation into deeper worship and radical faith.

Jess and Desiree, explore how pride and the societal pressure to be "strong" can sometimes prevent us from accepting the help we need. They share personal experiences and insights on redefining what it means to be strong, and how allowing others to help can actually enhance our lives and purpose. The overall message emphasizes the value of community, vulnerability, and finding a balance between giving and receiving help - a "win-win" situation. The discussion touches on topics like therapy, managing transitions, and understanding our unique roles within the body of Christ.<br /><b><br />Support the Podcast:</b><br /><b>If you love what you hear on Jess Ask The Podcast and want to help us continue bringing you inspiring and insightful content, consider supporting us!

Jess and Desiree, explore how pride and the societal pressure to be "strong" can sometimes prevent us from accepting the help we need. They share personal experiences and insights on redefining what it means to be strong, and how allowing others to help can actually enhance our lives and purpose. The overall message emphasizes the value of community, vulnerability, and finding a balance between giving and receiving help - a "win-win" situation. The discussion touches on topics like therapy, managing transitions, and understanding our unique roles within the body of Christ.<br /><b><br />Support the Podcast:</b><br /><b>If you love what you hear on Jess Ask The Podcast and want to help us continue bringing you inspiring and insightful content, consider supporting us!

Sullivan Ph.D | EP54</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-power-of-belief-ft-phillip-a-sullivan-ph-d-ep54--59936663</link><description><![CDATA[Joining us for this enlightening chat is the brilliant Dr. Phillip A. Sullivan, Ph.D. We kept it real as we explored the transformative power of belief, faith, and community in our mental health journeys. In this episode, we were all about creating a safe space to unpack some serious wisdom. Dr. Sullivan shared his insights on how our belief systems shape our mental well-being, along with practical tools like the "ABCs of Mental Health" to help us thrive.<br /><br />Originally from Madison, Alabama, Dr. Phillip Sullivan is a higher education professional currently working in the state of Georgia. Phillip has a passion for youth and mental health advocacy. In May 2022, Phillip earned his Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision with a graduate certificate in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion from the Mary Frances Early College of Education at the University of Georgia. His dissertation, "Lifting Every Voice: Exploring Hope, Healing, and Liberation among Black Undergraduate Students at Predominantly White Institutions," reflects his enduring commitment to improving the experiences of marginalized students in higher education.<br /><br /> Beyond completing his doctoral studies, Phillip remains fervently devoted to community engagement.

Sullivan, Ph.D. We kept it real as we explored the transformative power of belief, faith, and community in our mental health journeys. In this episode, we were all about creating a safe space to unpack some serious wisdom. Dr. Sullivan shared his insights on how our belief systems shape our mental well-being, along with practical tools like the "ABCs of Mental Health" to help us thrive.<br /><br />Originally from Madison, Alabama, Dr. Phillip Sullivan is a higher education professional currently working in the state of Georgia. Phillip has a passion for youth and mental health advocacy. In May 2022, Phillip earned his Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision with a graduate certificate in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion from the Mary Frances Early College of Education at the University of Georgia. His dissertation, "Lifting Every Voice: Exploring Hope, Healing, and Liberation among Black Undergraduate Students at Predominantly White Institutions," reflects his enduring commitment to improving the experiences of marginalized students in higher education.<br /><br /> Beyond completing his doctoral studies, Phillip remains fervently devoted to community engagement. He actively participates in various professional and community-based organizations. Notably, for the past three years, he has served as Chair of the Collegiate 100 Committee within the Emerging 100 of Atlanta, an auxiliary of the 100 Black Men of Atlanta.
