| DGS EP02 - Small Steps, Big Impact: Simple Ways to Do Good as a Family | 13 Mar 2025 | 00:42:08 | |
In this episode of Doing Good is Simple, host Chris Marlow sits down with Kaitlin Pierce, the Chief Marketing Officer at Help One Now. Kaitlin shares her transformative journey from corporate America to nonprofit work, discussing the challenges of balancing ambition, family, and purpose. Her story is a powerful testament to trusting in faith, stepping out of comfort zones, and making an impact both locally and globally.
 Kaitlin spent years excelling in a high-powered corporate role, but the pressure and workaholic culture left her feeling unfulfilled. A lower-than-expected performance review and her daughter's middle school orientation became wake-up calls that led her to resign and seek a new path.
 Initially planning to visit Machu Picchu with friends, Kaitlin's perspective shifted dramatically when she encountered extreme poverty in BeilĂn, Peru. She saw beauty in resilience and was moved by the hope education provided to local children. This experience ignited her passion for nonprofit work.
 When the opportunity arose to join Help One Now, Kaitlin faced financial and emotional uncertainty. With her husband's initial hesitation and a significant salary shift, the decision required deep faith. Ultimately, she trusted that following God's call would lead to the right path.
 Kaitlinâs move to Birmingham left her without a strong community at first. Through intentional effortâattending church gatherings, joining small groups, and taking risksâshe built a supportive network. She now emphasizes the importance of expanding circles and inviting others into meaningful relationships.
 Kaitlin encourages people to start small when making a difference. Whether itâs sponsoring a child, hosting ârice nightsâ to build awareness with family, or volunteering unique skills, every effort creates a ripple effect. She reminds us that true impact isnât about fameâitâs about changing someoneâs world, one act at a time. Kaitlinâs journey is a reminder that success isnât just about climbing the corporate ladderâitâs about finding purpose and making a difference. Whether through a career shift or small intentional acts of kindness, we all have the ability to impact lives.
