"I Was Spiritually Homeless" | Retired Army Captain Tiara Joseph on the Whisper That Saved Her

In 2024, Tiara Joseph sat in her dark living room, high on multiple drugs, in the middle of a ritual she believed was healing her. She had the rank. The house. The kids. She had retired from the U.S. Army as a Captain four years earlier. From the outside, she made it. Inside, she was dying.

Then a voice she did not summon said one sentence.

"Give God a try."

This conversation is about what happened on both sides of that sentence. The retired Captain before it. The woman who walked out of that room after it. The years in between where she searched for healing in every direction and ran out of directions to try.

Tiara and Asher served together in the 82nd Airborne in 2000. Twenty-six years later, they sat down to record this episode. She is writing her memoir, From Ouija Board to Worshipper. He runs Memoirs to Millions. This is the conversation two old paratroopers have when one of them comes back from the edge with a story worth telling.
