What if saying 'enough' is the most spiritual thing you'll ever do? ✨
Dr. LaKrishia "LaLa" Cook, DNP, MSN-Ni, RN, CGC, CCLC, joins Sex Ed for Saints to tell the story most churches don't make room for: a marriage built on 14 years of friendship that still wasn't right, a divorce that cost her community and covering, and the slow climb back to a love story she actually believes in. Dr. Cook pulls back the curtain on growing up a preacher's kid, the theology that keeps women silent in unhealthy marriages, and the moment she finally said "enough." This is a conversation about discernment over comfort, truth over shame, and why your past doesn't get the final word on your future.

Sit with Yourself
🔓 FROM THE VAULT | Never Before Seen
This one almost stayed on the shelf. The audio isn't perfect. The message is too important to keep locked away.
You got hurt. So you pulled back. You stopped answering the calls, stopped letting people in, and told yourself it was protection. But isolation isn't healing. It's hiding with better branding.
In this throwback conversation, I sit down with Survivor Empowerment Coach Larissa Rhone to talk about what it really takes to rebuild after trauma. We get honest about:
✨ Sitting with yourself long enough to actually know yourself
✨ Recognizing your triggers instead of being ruled by them
✨ Why everyone's trauma response looks different
✨ Staying open and vulnerable after people have failed you
People will let you down. That doesn't give you permission to disappear. Keep your heart open, because you never know who God is sending next.
You've gotta learn you. This episode is where you start.
🎧 Heads up: this recording has some audio issues. Stay with us. The word is worth it.
📅 Sex Ed for Saints returns with brand new episodes Monday, October 5th at 6 PM ET. Set your reminder. We're coming back ready.
