Resilience shows up when things do not go as planned. When the business you built gets shut down. When life forces a pivot you never asked for. When grief, disappointment, or uncertainty refuse to move on quietly.

In this episode of Coffey Talk, Kate Coffey-Bacon sits down with David Fullwood to talk about resilience as a lived practice, not a motivational slogan. They explore how setbacks shape identity, how small wins rebuild trust in yourself, and why learning from the past matters more than staying loyal to it.

This conversation is about movement, belief, and continuing forward even when clarity comes later.

Key Takeaways

• Resilience begins with choice, not circumstance
• Small wins rebuild self-trust over time
• Surrounding yourself with the right people changes perspective
• Setbacks can realign you rather than stop you

This episode sits down with two women who didn’t wait for permission. Molly Fuchsel and Liz Hallen left comfortable careers to build something the Microsoft ecosystem didn’t have yet. They trusted instinct more than certainty and created PartnerIn, a home for peer learning, vulnerability, and growth. We talk about the moment they knew they had to act, how community works when it’s intentional, and what it takes to leap before you know exactly what the landing looks like.

Key Takeaways

• You don’t need the full plan to begin — you just need the cue inside you that says “this matters.”
• Community isn’t a side task. It’s a strategy built on trust, shared learning, and vulnerability.
• Partnerships thrive when both people respect each other’s strengths and move at different rhythms but with shared purpose.
• Peer learning will shape the future of the Microsoft ecosystem because no one organization can do it all.
