Welcome back to Fierce Calling with your host Doris Swift, where we talk with guests who are taking action where their passion, compassion, and conviction intersect. In this episode, we welcomed back Candice Reyes, the Executive Director of Her Well, a faith-based ministry inspiring women to reclaim hope and regain their voice after trauma.


From facing her own traumatic past to leading a pioneering organization, Candice’s journey highlights the power of healing through faith, counseling, and innovative therapies like ART. Her Well offers free counseling, essentials, and a transformative space for those in need.


I know what Candice shares will encourage, inspire, and challenge you, so listen in while I have a chat with Candice Reyes.
