Robin Goad: Becoming a "Woman by Fire" – Bold Faith, Vulnerability, and Corporate Success

You’ve built the career and managed the home, but have you survived the fire that actually makes the woman?  As a high-capacity Christian wife and mother, it is easy to portray an image that you have it all together: the perfect Instagram reel, the steady paycheck, and the "stiff upper lip" of a corporate leader. But true boldness isn't found in a polished exterior; it is forged in the pruning process of life’s greatest trials. In this soul-stirring episode of She Leads Boldly, host Sherrika Sanders sits down with Robin Goad — tech executive at AWS and author of Girl by Birth, Woman by Fire. Robin pulls back the curtain on her 30-year journey, sharing how God transformed her from a "corporate gal" who only thought she trusted Him into a woman who truly relies on His steady presence in the boat. In This Episode, We Discuss:The "Fire" Behind the Testimony: Why we must stop looking at other women’s "end results" and start honoring the fire, tears, and 3:30 AM prayers it took to get there. Relationships, Vocation, and Health: Robin’s "Get Real Guide" to aligning your career skills with spiritual, emotional, and financial health. The Uncomfortable "Next": How to navigate the "waiting room" of life without forcing your own strategy or letting impatience derail God’s perfect timing. Vulnerability vs. Weakness: Why showing your authentic self — past mistakes and all — is actually the boldest thing a leader can do. Breaking Generational Cycles: A vulnerable look at "re-training" our children to be soft and reliant on others instead of over-functioning as "strong, independent women" alone. Why This Episode Is a Must-ListenIf you are struggling to bridge the gap between your corporate ambition and your spiritual surrender, Robin’s story will show you how to "take your hands off" and let God take over. This conversation is a "kingdom connection" designed to help you stop hiding your secrets and start operating in the authentic power God intended for you. Ready to stop surviving the storm alone and start thriving through the fire?
