In this deeply vulnerable episode of Dear Future Wifey, Laterras Whitfield sits down with Cora Jakes for one of her most transparent conversations to date.

Cora courageously opens up about her decision to speak publicly about her divorce and the abuse her daughter survived, sharing how her family is walking through healing, restoration, and faith in the aftermath. With grace and honesty, she discusses the cost of silence, the power of truth, and what healing looks like when the wounds are personal and public.

The conversation also explores what it was like growing up as Bishop T.D. Jakes’ daughter, including the internal struggle of losing her own sense of identity as her father’s name became globally recognized. Cora reflects on carrying expectations, navigating visibility, and finding her voice beyond the weight of a famous last name.

Additionally, she shares about her role as the family intercessor—the unseen spiritual labor, the emotional weight it carries, and how prayer became both her refuge and responsibility.

This episode is raw, redemptive, and necessary—a powerful reminder that healing is not linear, faith doesn’t eliminate pain, and courage sometimes looks like telling the truth out loud.

In this powerful and transparent episode of Dear Future Wifey, Laterras Whitfield and Ashley sit down with Kenneth & Tasha Cobbs Leonard for a conversation that feels less like a podcast and more like a full-blown marriage seminar.

Kenneth and Tasha open up about how friendship became the foundation of their forever, while also diving into real-time cultural and kingdom conversations. Tasha passionately defends Dr. Karri Bryant, shares her heart behind conversations on modesty, and brings wisdom with both grace and clarity.

The couple also discusses:

1. How they manage and build their businesses together

2. The “why” behind their healthy lifestyle transformation

3. The vision and heart behind their church, The Purpose Place

4. What it really takes to steward marriage, health, faith, and purpose at the same time

By the end of the episode, Laterras and Ashley admit it felt like they’d just attended a marriage seminar — full of practical gems, spiritual insight, and real-life wisdom every couple (and future couple) needs.

Whether you’re married, preparing for marriage, or simply believing God for healthy love, this episode will challenge and encourage you.
