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.

Dr. Rasheda Jackson’s testimony is a masterclass in faith, endurance, and the supernatural strength God gives a mother when her world is falling apart. In this emotional HerStory episode, she shares the journey that unfolded when her 28-year-old daughter — a pregnant Navy sailor — suddenly fell gravely ill during the height of COVID.

What began as “just a cold” spiraled into a medical crisis:

• A coma

• Life support

• Intubation

• A tracheotomy

• A PEG feeding tube

• A baby still growing inside her womb

For 147 days, Dr. Rasheda lived in the tension between fear and faith. She prayed, fasted, made life-altering medical decisions, ran her company remotely, set systems in place for her younger children, and held her family together through a storm that should have broken her.

Yet God preserved her daughter.

God preserved her grandbaby.

And God preserved her.

This conversation walks through the emotional, spiritual, and practical realities of leading while broken — and how God sustained her through one of the most traumatic seasons of her life.

In this episode, she also reveals:

✨ How her praying grandmother shaped her earliest foundation in God

✨ How becoming a pastor’s wife at 24 matured her overnight

✨ The healing journey from never knowing her biological father

✨ How God sent her a spiritual father who restored her identity

✨ Why empathy without boundaries nearly destroyed her

✨ The business partnership God told her to walk away from

✨ How she built The Uncommon Network to strengthen churches and leaders

✨ Why this season is about structure, alignment, and kingdom influence

She closes the episode with a prophetic reminder:

A mother, grandmother, business owner, and kingdom strategist, Dr. Rasheda Jackson is a corporate executive consultant and the founder of The Uncommon Network, a movement equipping churches and entrepreneurs with systems for compliance, succession, administration, and sustainable growth.

As Miss Woman Entrepreneur International, she champions excellence in the marketplace and ministry, empowering leaders to align their faith with effective structures. She is a respected author, mentor, and teacher whose life’s work blends spiritual insight with practical leadership.
