Episode 016: When Marketplace Walls Fall, Hearts Open

A faith-forward coworker. A skeptical high-performer. An HR complaint that could have ended a relationship before it began. Instead, that collision became a doorway to honesty, healing, and a deeper understanding of what it really means to bring faith into the marketplace without an agenda or a script.We sit down with Kelly Fisher, a technology leader whose story moves from childhood church memories to seasons of drift, pain, and self-protection—and then to a courageous lunch where curiosity replaced offense. Kelly shares how a single conversation unlocked years of healing, why “God winks” met her in perfectly timed ways, and how a molar pregnancy, miscarriage, and a long year of waiting reshaped her trust in God’s timing. You’ll hear about the cross she saw on the drive home from devastating news, the devotional that matched a crisis word-for-word, and the gift of parenting through COVID when everything else seemed uncertain.We also get practical about culture and leadership. What happens to trust and team speed when people are asked to mute who they are at work? How do you lead with conviction without turning faith into a blunt instrument? Kelly walks through the habits that anchor her: sharing real life instead of arguments, asking better questions, praying with permission, and holding grace and truth together. Along the way we explore the hidden costs of silence, the power of authenticity, and the unexpected influence that comes when you simply “be the light.”If you’ve ever wrestled with how to live your faith at work, or if skepticism and past hurt make belief feel out of reach, this story offers both candor and hope. Listen, reflect, and consider where curiosity could open a new chapter in your own life and leadership.
