Following your heart matters more than listening to fear.
Strong Enough to Stay — Fueled by Faeth is a podcast about continuing on when life takes an unexpected turn.
Hosted by Lauren Faeth, the show shares raw stories and real conversations about staying when quitting feels easier—and rebuilding strength mentally, physically, and emotionally along the way.
This isn’t about toxic positivity. It’s about showing up on the hard days, slowing down instead of breaking, and becoming who you truly are.
New episodes weekly. Come as you are. Stay anyway.
Where I’ve Been, What Changed Me, and Why I’m Finally Back!
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.
In this first episode of Fueled by Faeth, I’m sharing where I’ve been, why I changed the podcast name from Strong Enough to Stay, and how the journey to the Boston Marathon transformed me in ways I never expected. I’ll open up about the reality of post-race depression, the identity shift that came after achieving a lifelong dream, and the lessons I learned when the finish line wasn’t the end of the story.
Most importantly, I’ll share how this season has deepened my faith, grounded me in what truly matters, and inspired the next chapter of my life and this podcast.
This is an honest conversation about growth, purpose, resilience, and trusting God’s plan—even when you can’t see what’s next.
Welcome to Fueled by Faeth. Let’s grow stronger together. 💙

Before the Dynasty, Before the Finish Line: Super Bowl LX Edition
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 the Boston Marathon, this episode connects football, resilience, and the long road to becoming who you’re meant to be.
Stay through the end for a quiet after-reflection meant for the ones who stay.

When Winter Hits Hard: Episode 8
When winter hits hard, it can affect your energy, mood, motivation, and mental health more than you expect.
In this episode, we talk honestly about the winter blues, seasonal burnout, and how to take care of yourself during the colder months—without forcing positivity or productivity. From understanding why winter feels heavier to practical wellness habits, mental health support, and self-improvement strategies, this episode is about learning how to move through winter with compassion and intention.
If you’re feeling tired, disconnected, unmotivated, or not quite like yourself, this conversation is a reminder that you’re not broken—you’re human. Winter doesn’t have to be something you just survive. It can be a season of grounding, reflection, and quiet growth.

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

When All the Days Feel the Same: Episode 6
Life today feels different — and not in a dramatic way.
Just… off.
In this episode of Strong Enough to Stay, we talk honestly about what it feels like to live right now: the blurred days, constant notifications, mental exhaustion, social burnout, decision fatigue, and the quiet sense that you’re always busy but never fully caught up.
This is a real, funny, observational conversation about modern life — no self-help, no fixing, no pressure to have it all figured out. Just naming the shared experiences we’re all living through but rarely say out loud.
If you’ve felt tired without knowing why, overwhelmed by small things, disconnected even while staying busy, or like you’re just trying to keep up — this episode will feel familiar.
You don’t need answers.
You don’t need a breakthrough.
You just need to know you’re not alone.
Strong enough to stay — even here.

You’re Doing Better Than You Think: Episode 3

You can be grateful and still restless.
You can love your life and still feel unfinished.

Not with pressure not with urgency, just honesty.
If you’ve been feeling that subtle nudge towards something more aligned— this episode is a reminder that you’re allowed to listen.

Staying Without Breaking: Episode 2
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 the process.
This isn’t about quitting.
It’s about choosing yourself before everything falls apart.

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 a real conversation about starting over.
If you’re standing at a crossroads, this episode is for you.
Come as you are. Stay anyway.
