LaKesha Myrick’s Stories, Lessons & Insights

LaKesha Myrick shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.

Hi LaKesha, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to share your story, experiences and insights with our readers. Let’s jump right in with an interesting one: What are you being called to do now, that you may have been afraid of before?
I chose this question because right now, I feel like I’m being called into something I used to be really afraid to touch, an experience that I’ve coined as “The Healing Room.”

For a long time, I sat on this idea. I didn’t know anyone doing anything like it… people gathering in person for a Holy Spirit–led journaling experience with live music setting the atmosphere. It felt so “different,” and because of that, I wasn’t sure if people would receive it. Honestly, I wasn’t sure if I could even pull it off.

I still get nervous… I won’t pretend I don’t.
But I finally stepped out and hosted my first one in October 2025, and seeing how God moved in that room showed me that it really can be done.

So now, instead of running from it, I’m learning to lean into it. I feel like I’m being called to help people experience healing and deliverance in a way that feels gentle, creative, and Holy Spirit–led. And even though I’m still growing into it, I’m excited to see where God takes it next.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m LaKesha, but most people call me Keesh. I’m a writer, a life coach, and a Purpose Pusher who genuinely loves helping women reconnect with who they are and who God says they are.

My work is centered around healing, clarity, and purpose. My approach is simple and practical, but still deeply rooted in faith and inner work. I like to help ambitious women who feel disconnected or out of alignment slow down long enough to hear themselves again, to clear the mental and emotional clutter, and finally breathe, reset, and move forward with intention.

What makes my work feel unique is that I’m not just coaching from strategy — I’m guiding from a place of faith, honesty, and lived experience. The women I coach are strong on the outside but secretly navigating confusion, emotional weight, or old wounds that keep them stuck. I create spaces where they can process, release, and be fully honest about what’s going on… whether that’s through my coaching, my content, or now, The Healing Room, which is open to anyone ready to experience healing and reflection.

So, right now, I’m focused on growing that… these Holy Spirit–led journaling experiences that give people room to release, reflect, and experience healing in a way that feels safe, creative, and deeply personal.

I’m still evolving, still learning, but everything I build is rooted in helping people come home to themselves and walk in the fullness of who God called them to be.

Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. What breaks the bonds between people—and what restores them?
I think bonds break when hate enters in — when we stop seeing each other as human and start seeing each other as problems. Pride breaks bonds. Assumptions break bonds. The moments when we choose our ego over understanding. And honestly, the biggest one is when we stop communicating.

Sometimes we’re so wrapped up in our own world, our own worries, our own need to be right, that we forget to slow down and extend empathy. We forget that everyone is carrying something. That everyone is fighting to make it through the same one life we’re all trying to figure out.

But what restores those bonds… the love of God.
Grace.
Compassion.
A willingness to see beyond the surface and reach for the heart of a person.

If we could extend more grace to each other… really see each other… really listen… I believe we’d be a much better world. Because love heals what pride breaks. And God’s love, especially, has a way of mending things we thought were beyond repair.

If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
So, I would probably tell my younger self, “You’re amazing, you’re beautiful, you are loved, and everything is going to be alright.”

She spent so much time trying to be strong, trying to be perfect, thinking something was broken with her, trying to hold everything together, trying to earn the love she already had.

I’d just want her to know that God has always known her, seen her, heard her, and loved her — and that her story was always going to turn out beautifully.

Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
If you asked my closest friends, they’d probably say that what really matters to me is connection. I care deeply about the people in my life… my friends, my family, and I want to be present for them through the good and the not-so-good.

It matters to me to stay close, to create memories, and to leave little imprints on each other’s hearts. Because one day, that’s all we’ll have: the pictures, the notes, the cards, the funny quotes or sayings, and the love we shared along the way.

Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
When people talk about me after I’m gone, I hope they say that I loved well, served well, gave well, and honored well. That I spent my days trying to help others, that I was a safe place, a voice of encouragement when they were down, and a steady hand when they were weak.

I hope they say I spoke the truth, and that I did it all by the grace of God — that He was with me, moving through me, and that people could see Him in me and on me. Most of all, I hope they say that their lives were changed for the better because they crossed paths with me.
