Labor Day’s over, Q4 is coming fast—this episode is about seizing September’s short window, launching YOUBEYOULIVE Season 2, and building the momentum you can’t afford to miss.

Thank you to everyone who tuned into my live video! Join me for my next live video in the app.

To those who tuned in expecting one thing and got another—I honor you. I don’t apologize for the conversation, because it was raw, bold, spiritual, and full of light. Somebody needed that exact message. Somebody felt seen. Somebody realized they weren’t alone.

And that’s the power of authenticity. It isn’t something you manufacture. It’s something you release. It’s the you that was already inside, unpolished, unfiltered, unapologetic. And when you let that out, when you trust that flow—you rise. And when you rise, everyone around you gets lifted too.

So here’s my truth: I will always bring my authentic self. I will always lean into the Spirit. I will always trust that the detours are divine.

Yesterday was one of the best shows I’ve ever done. If you haven’t seen it, watch the replay. If you have, carry the energy with you. And don’t miss the next one—September 7th with the powerful Bambi Lynn Markowski.

Because sometimes the greatest plan is not ours—it’s the one written above us, written for us, written with love.

Thanks for reading,

William Rochelle, but you can call me Bill

Division Was the Goal

Everywhere you look—politics, churches, workplaces, even families—you’ll hear the same quiet confession: “We are more divided than ever.” But what if I told you this division was never natural? What if it was carefully manufactured?

History shows us that division has always been the easiest tool of control. Slavery wasn’t just about chains and fields—it was about planting seeds of separation. Light skin versus dark skin. House versus field. Worthy versus unworthy. Later, “whiteness” itself was invented as a category—Irish, Italian, Portuguese, German—folded into a new identity that didn’t exist before. Why? To create a wall against Blackness, to pit one group against another, and to keep the powerful in power.

And it worked.

But division didn’t stop there. Hollywood sold us polished images of manhood and womanhood. The Marlboro man. The perfect housewife. The cool rebel. The flawless superstar. Images with stories attached—but not stories rooted in truth. They were scripted to distract us, to give us something to chase, to keep us comparing and competing instead of connecting.

Here’s the hard truth: many of us are still building our identities off false blueprints.

We’ve mistaken carefully staged images for reality. We’ve swallowed false narratives whole, and then wondered why our relationships crumble, why our communities fracture, why we feel disconnected from ourselves.

But division is not destiny.

If division was engineered, it can be dismantled. If false stories can be sold, truth can be reclaimed.

The path forward isn’t found in clinging harder to the images we’ve been handed—it’s in tearing them down. It’s in asking the uncomfortable questions:

* Who told me this is what a man or woman is supposed to be?

* Who benefits from me seeing my neighbor as my rival?

* Whose story am I really living—mine, or someone else’s?

At its core, life is about relationships: with ourselves, with others, with God, with the universe. If the foundation is false, the structure will always collapse. But when we build on truth—on love, connection, authenticity—the house stands.

We don’t need more images. We need more courage. Courage to let go of borrowed definitions. Courage to walk away from the narratives we inherited. Courage to see the humanity in each other, even when the world is invested in keeping us apart.

Because division might be man-made. But unity? Unity is divine.

trust is one of the most fragile yet powerful forces in life. It can be shattered by a single lie, yet strong enough to build an empire. It can hold love together, or tear it apart. Some people give trust away too easily, while others guard it like gold. And too many bury it forever after one betrayal.

But here’s the truth we miss: trust isn’t just about other people. It’s about you. Do you trust yourself when the road gets dark? Do you trust the process when life feels uncertain? Do you trust that tomorrow will rise brighter than today—and that today, even in its chaos, already carries its own brilliance?

The truth is, you were born fully equipped. The dream, the courage, the blueprint—they’re already inside of you. The hesitation, the doubt, the voice whispering “not yet”—that’s not you. That’s fear wearing your name tag.

And trust can’t stand alone. It needs forgiveness. Without forgiveness, betrayal becomes baggage. It poisons new opportunities and follows you into every chapter. Forgiveness doesn’t mean reunion—it means release. It means cutting the chain so their shadow doesn’t own your future.

Because distrust doesn’t just protect you—it cages you. It builds walls so thick that even joy can’t break in. So maybe today is the day you risk something bold. The day you whisper louder than your fear: I will give trust a try.

Not blind trust. Not reckless trust. But deliberate, fierce, unshakable trust. Trust in your resilience. Trust in the process. Trust that the story of your life is still unfolding—and that your best chapters are still ahead.

Because trust isn’t weakness. It’s the bridge between who you are today and who you’re destined to become tomorrow. Step onto it. The future is waiting.

YOU BE YOU LIVE – Music, Vibes, and Real Time

This episode was pure energy—me, the music, and the vibes flowing in real time. I brought that 90s radio feel back: playing my own tracks, sharing the inspiration behind them, and asking the real question—did you feel it?

Some songs will lift you up. Some are part twos that carry the story forward. Every track had a story, and you helped decide if it was 🔥 or not. That’s what makes this show different—it’s not just me, it’s us.

Catch the replay now and join the conversation. Let me know which track spoke to you, which one surprised you, and which one you’d play on repeat.
