She started a podcast from the chemo chair: Carly Fauth’s cancer and fitness story

In February 2024, Carly Fauth was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer.

During treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, she launched a podcast directly from her chemo chair and continued helping others discover the power of movement, mindset, and resilience.

Known as FitFunCarly, Carly is a fitness instructor, ACSM-ACS certified cancer exercise specialist, movement mentor, and founder of Fit in Fitness, a program helping people build strength in just 15 minutes a day. This conversation is a powerful reminder that resilience often begins with something small.

  • How movement helped Carly navigate cancer treatment
  • Why small actions build real momentum

  • How anyone can start rebuilding strength one step at a time
Resilience doesn’t always begin with a breakthrough.
Sometimes it begins with one small action taken in the middle of a hard day.

Why This Conversation Matters

A cancer diagnosis can make everything feel uncertain, fragile, and out of your control. In those moments, even the smallest act of movement or intention can become an anchor.

Carly’s story is powerful because she did not wait until life felt easy again to keep showing up for her purpose. She kept going from the middle of the storm — from the chemo chair — and in doing so, she became a living example of what it means to rebuild strength one choice at a time.

Her message connects beautifully with the heart of Delay the Binge™: the path forward is often built through small, steady moments of courage, awareness, and devotion to the next right step.
