She had the career, the camera, and the credibility—until obedience cost her everything. In this powerful conversation, former CBS news anchor Molly Trotter-Gomez reveals why walking away from the spotlight was the beginning of her true calling, and how stewarding your story can unlock influence, impact, and obedience-led courage.
What happens when the life you worked so hard to build no longer aligns with the truth God is calling you to live?
In this unforgettable episode of Healed. Whole. Called., Wendy Melrose sits down with Molly Trotter-Gomez—former CBS news anchor, international speaker, and founder of Signature Story Consulting—for a raw and deeply faith-filled conversation about obedience, identity, and the power of story stewardship.
After five years in broadcast journalism, Molly found herself telling stories driven by fear, division, and ratings rather than truth and transformation. When she refused to compromise the message, she was fired—and what felt like loss became divine redirection. What followed was a bold leap into entrepreneurship, purpose-driven storytelling, and helping others uncover the gold hidden inside their own stories.
Together, Wendy and Molly explore why courage isn’t the goal—obedience is. Why parts of us must die in order for new growth to come. And why your story isn’t meant to glorify you, but to create an emotional bridge that invites others into healing, faith, and forward movement.
This episode is for anyone who knows they’re called—but feels afraid to say yes.
