Real stories. Raw truth. Unshakable hope.
Hosted by Lisa McKenzie, founder of You Night Empowering Events, The Still I Rise Podcast is a powerful, heartfelt series that shares the voices of women who have fought — or are still fighting — cancer, and the transformative journeys they’ve taken to reclaim joy, identity, and purpose.
Each episode highlights inspiring survivor stories, candid conversations with mental health experts, and uplifting insights for anyone facing life after diagnosis. We dive deep into the emotional, spiritual, and psychological layers of healing — reminding every woman that she’s not alone, and that her story matters.

"Kaleidoscope of Strength": Burpees, Boundaries and Breast Cancer - Rochelle Ives Story
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Welcome to the Still I Rise podcast…
where women turn pain into purpose and scars become stories of strength.
Today’s guest is Rochelle Ives, a member of the Gloria Gemma SheROSE Class of 2025, and let me just say… Rochelle sparkles.
When we did the SheROSE photo shoot and she placed that crown on her head, I honestly couldn’t tell which sparkled more—the crown or Rochelle herself.
But what makes Rochelle so special is that her sparkle doesn’t end when the cameras stop rolling.
She spreads joy everywhere she goes.
She encourages women.
She leaves kind words on posts.
She lifts people up.
She leads with love.
And when you hear her story, “Kaleidoscope of Strength,” you’ll understand where that light comes from.
Rochelle’s journey is one of learning that constantly saving everyone else can sometimes mean losing yourself. After years of people pleasing, heartbreak, chaos, and eventually a breast cancer diagnosis, Rochelle found her strength, reclaimed her peace, and chose healing.
Her story is powerful, honest, faith-filled, and deeply inspiring.
This is Still I Rise…
and this is Rochelle’s story:
“Kaleidoscope of Strength.”
