What happens when life places something in front of you that you never asked for… but still choose to face with courage?

In this powerful conversation, Carly Fauth shares how a diagnosis of triple negative breast cancer transformed not only her relationship with movement and health, but her understanding of resilience, mindset, and what it truly means to keep going during life’s hardest seasons.

While undergoing chemotherapy, Carly began recording her podcast directly from the chemo chair at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, turning fear into connection and pain into purpose.

We explore:

movement during difficult seasons
exercise and mental health
momentum vs motivation
resilience through cancer treatment
small habits that create lasting change
nervous system support through movement
redefining fitness during burnout and overwhelm
using movement to interrupt fear and emotional spirals

Carly also shares the meaning behind her book Pray for the Bear, inspired by the belief that even in life’s hardest battles, strength is often revealed one small step at a time.

This episode is a reminder that healing doesn’t always begin with giant transformations. Sometimes it begins with ten squats while your coffee brews… and the decision to keep moving forward anyway.
