Fueled by Faeth

Where I’ve Been, What Changed Me, and Why I’m Finally Back After some time away, I’m finally back—and there’s a lot to catch up on.

What to look forward to in Season 2!!!

Before the Dynasty, Before the Finish Line This Super Bowl–themed episode isn’t about stats — it’s about belief. I share the story of attending my first New England Patriots game at Foxboro Stadium, the day Tom Brady made his first NFL start, and how that moment shaped the way I approach life, endurance, and showing up when no one’s watching. From the Super Bowl stage to my journey training for th...

This isn’t about winning — it’s about staying. Staying when your body changes. Staying when confidence disappears. Staying when quitting would be easier.

You were never lost. You were surviving — and this is the long way back.

You didn’t come this far to quit — even when doubt gets loud and progress feels slow. This episode is a reminder to keep going, trust yourself, and stay when it would be easier to walk away.

In this episode, we talk about the quiet pulling of wanting more— without guilt without shame, and without blowing up the life you already have. You can be grateful and still restless. You can love your life and still feel unfinished. This conversation is for anyone who stayed kept going and now find themselves wondering OK what’s next? Not with pressure not with urgency, just honesty. If you’ve b...

Staying isn’t about pushing harder until you shatter. It’s about learning when to slow down, when to breathe, and when to stop pretending you’re fine. In this episode, I talk about the lie I believed for a long time—that strength meant never stopping, never resting, never showing cracks. I share how that mindset nearly broke me, and what it actually looks like to stay without losing yourself in th...

I thought I knew exactly how my life was supposed to go. I was wrong. In this first episode, I talk about losing the plan, facing fear head-on, and choosing to stay when quitting felt like the easier option. This is about learning the difference between pushing through and breaking—and why following your heart matters more than pretending you’re fine. No highlight reels. No false positivity. Just...
