How Faith and Resilience Shaped Carrie's Law

After surviving trauma in the workplace, she made the choice not only to speak up — but to do so with grace.

I wanted to come back with peace.”Carrie opens up about:💔 The moment she questioned everything she believed — and doubled down on faith.⚖️ The creation and impact of Carrie’s Law on corporate accountability.🙏 How prayer, scripture, and daily spiritual grounding carried her through unimaginable darkness.🌿 Why “no one hears you when you’re angry” became a turning point in her healing journey.🕯️ What true resilience looks like — not as a roar, but as a whisper that says keep going.This episode is a testament to how faith can transform pain into purpose, and how quiet strength can change not only one life — but the world.🔗 Resources & Links: Check out the RTP shop! https://allcreates.myshopify.com/ 📲 Follow the RTP! - https://resiliencythepodcast.com https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61562977084612 https://www.instagram.com/resiliencythepodcast/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/resiliency-the-podcast https://www.youtube.com/@UCWIsz69OfL3Sy7IVBs8rx4g 🔗 Connect with Carrie BobbInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/carriebobb/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carriebobb/🔗 Connect with Jenn Quader: - Jenn Quader’s Website: http://jennquader.com - Jenn on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennquader/ - Jenn Quader’s Tedx Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yKMeo3GW2k - The Smart Agency: https://thesmartagency.com/ 🔗 Connect with Dr. Kelly Culver: - Culver Group Website: https://new.culvergroup.ca/ - Dr. Kelly Culver’s Website: http://drkellyculver.com - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelly-culver/ - Dr. Kelly Culver’s Tedx Talk: https://youtu.be/0FNU95LH-f8?si=8uamb7cs7RiUWxRV 🎙 Hosted by: Dr. Kelly Culver & Jenn Quader 📍 Executive Producer: Asef Quader 🎧 Produced by: ALL Inc. & The Culver Group © All rights reserved DISCLAIMER: THE OPINIONS OR VIEWS EXPRESSED DO NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT OR REPRESENT THOSE OF THE HOSTS OR RESILIENCY THE PODCAST; SUCH VIEWS ARE MERELY OPINIONS EXPRESSED.
