Description
Send us Fan MailSomeone once told Faith’s family to “keep her comfortable and let her go.” That moment could have been the end of the story, but it became the start of a lifelong practice of choosing courage, refusing limits, and turning pain into help for other people. We sit down with NBC journalist Cheryl Preheim, a friend who has been in our corner for years, to talk about what it means to stare down fear and still decide you have work left to do. We go back to how we met through Brave Conquer Fear and why Cheryl felt called to center humanity in every story she tells, from families she met after Columbine to kids navigating life-changing diagnoses. Faith shares how hospitals, surgeries, and recovery shaped her voice, and how she writes children’s books to meet kids where they are, whether they’re scared of the hospital, dealing with bullying, grieving a loved one, or living in a home that feels too loud. If you care about trauma-informed parenting, disability advocacy, pediatric healthcare, or mental health for teens and young adults, you’ll hear practical language you can use right away. We also keep it real about the day-to-day: Cheryl’s Olympics reporting mishaps, the toll of long stretches of work, and the moment she knew burnout could put others at risk. We end with career advice that cuts through the noise: people can feel your heart, and authenticity creates the kind of connection that screens can’t fake.
