  • The Rain Release Prayer: Ancestral Clearing for Anger & Family Energy
    Jun 18 2026

    If you woke up carrying anger that doesn’t belong to you, this prayer is your reset.


    Spoken after a morning where rain literally began the moment the last word left my mouth, The Rain Release Prayer is a grounding invocation to:


    • Release anger stored in the body

    • Return energetic ties that drain your spirit

    • Break cycles of family-triggered pain

    • Call in ancestral protection and peace


    Place your hand on your heart. Press play. Let the earth help you wash it away.


    For best results: Listen in the morning, after conflict, or anytime your peace feels disrupted.

    Ashé.

  • When Life Doesn’t Pause-Why Do the Same Lessons Keep Returning?
    Jun 7 2026

    Episode 5: When Life Doesn’t Pause — Why Do the Same Lessons Keep Returning?


    Have you ever found yourself asking, “Why does this keep happening to me?” Different people. Different circumstances. Different seasons. Yet somehow the same lessons seem to return.


    In this episode, I explore the reality that life doesn’t stop when we’re hurting. It doesn’t pause for grief, heartbreak, legal battles, uncertainty, financial struggles, or the moments when we feel completely overwhelmed. The world keeps moving, and somehow we’re expected to keep moving too.


    Join me as I reflect on recurring patterns, personal growth, healing, resilience, and the lessons life continues to place in front of us. Together, we’ll talk about what it means to keep going when life feels heavy and how our hardest seasons often reveal our greatest strength.


    If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle, questioned your path, or wondered why certain challenges keep reappearing, this episode is for you.


    Because sometimes the lesson isn’t about what’s happening to us—it’s about who we’re becoming through it.

  • “I Think I’m Finally Becoming Her”
    May 17 2026

    In this episode of It’s a Hard Knock — BUT it’s Life, I’m opening up about what it feels like to slowly come out of survival mode and finally reconnect with the woman underneath all the stress, pressure, heartbreak, and responsibility.


    From hosting my Rooted & Renewed Mother’s Day brunch retreat… to celebrating my cousin’s high school graduation and another cousin turning 13… to receiving a job offer from Jackson Purchase Medical Center… this weekend reminded me that life is always moving, growing, and evolving.


    This episode is about healing.

    It’s about identity.

    It’s about rebuilding confidence.

    And it’s about realizing that survival may have protected you… but it was never meant to become your permanent identity.


    If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, exhausted, or disconnected from yourself lately, this conversation is for you.


    Because maybe you’re not falling apart.


    Maybe you’re becoming.
