What does it look like to step into hard places—and stay?

In this powerful conversation, Tracy Daugherty sits down with Freedom Sister Wheeler Fisher, who has spent nearly a decade walking alongside women impacted by trafficking. From her early days in Kansas to frontline work with survivors in San Diego, Wheeler shares what advocacy really looks like behind the scenes—both the heartbreak and the hope.

You’ll hear how one encounter changed everything, why choosing to “show up for the one” matters more than fixing everything, and how healing can look slow, messy, and deeply beautiful.

This episode also offers practical encouragement for anyone engaging in this space—how to stay tender, care for your soul, and continue showing up without becoming overwhelmed or numb.

You don’t have to solve everything, but you can still make a difference.
