In this powerful HerStory episode of Church Girl Unfiltered, Katissa Lupoe is joined by Dr. Lakisha Foxworth, a licensed marriage and family therapist, minister, author, and wellness advocate, for an honest and deeply moving conversation about healing, identity, and the sustaining grace of God.

Dr. Foxworth shares how her faith became real through an altar encounter in college, followed by a devastating diagnosis she received at 18. With courage and transparency, she reveals that her diagnosis was connected to a sexual assault she experienced as a teenager—something she did not discover until years later.

This episode creates sacred space for survivors and believers alike. Dr. Foxworth opens up about the silent battle that followed—marked by fear, shame, and spiritual warfare—and how prayer, fasting, and the Word of God became her lifeline during the fight of her life. She also reflects on grief and caregiving, including the loss of her mother and stepping into long-term responsibility for her brother, while learning how to remain whole while helping others heal—both as a therapist and as a woman of faith.

Throughout the conversation, Dr. Foxworth offers wisdom and practical tools for emotional health, boundaries, self-care, and speaking truth over negative thoughts. The episode closes with a powerful prayer and encouragement for anyone walking through trauma, fear, or insecurity.
