Choosing Courage Over Fear | Cheryl Preheim on Special Needs Resilience with Cheryl Preheim of NBC 11Aive and Faith

When doctors told Faith's family to "let her go," they chose courage instead. NBC journalist Cheryl Preheim sits down to discuss trauma recovery, special needs parenting, and how refusing limits transformed one family's pain into a lifelong mission to help other survivors. A story about caregiver resilience, medical trauma, and the power of choosing hope when the system says surrender.

Someone 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.

How Faith And Cheryl Met

SPEAKER_02 0:02

Good afternoon and welcome everyone to an incredibly special show today. We have Faith doing an interview with one of her favorite people ever, Cheryl Prehem from NBC 11 Alive. They have been together for so long and done so much amazing work together. And this is such a special event for you guys to be doing this together. So I am just gonna kind of be here and I'll put stuff in when I can. But this is this is you, Faith. This is you and Cheryl. So have at it.

SPEAKER_00 0:34

Have a mess now. Faith, I'm so happy to see you. I was like, gotta send you a little heart there. I'm so happy to see you and your mom. You know, today I was so excited to be on your podcast that I had to go back and I watched the first story that we did together. I cannot believe it's been nine years ago. And you were like the most incredible 11-year-old kid back then, and now you're this beautiful woman doing amazing things. I'm so proud of you. Oh, what is that?

SPEAKER_02 1:05

Yeah, yeah. You guys have come just a long way. Why don't you talk about how y'all met with Brave Conquer Sphere?

SPEAKER_00 1:13

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:15

I will admit I don't remember a lot of it because the whole that night thing. Right. I could remember uh I was at my grandmother's house, and you and a friend found out on my food and claim and talk to me about it.

SPEAKER_00 1:37

Yeah, I rem you know what's so funny. I remember exactly what I was wearing. Maybe I should wear I know I know purple's your favorite color. I should have worn purple today, but I wore orange today, and I was wearing orange the day we met too. And I remember that day so much, and I remember just thinking the first thing I thought about you is I thought she is such an old soul, and she has such a pure love inside of her. And I could just see how you sharing your story was gonna help so many people. And then so we met that day, and then I also got to go with you to one of your appointments with your speech therapists, and you were going, and you he your doctor would laugh because he could not find a word that would stump you, he would say. And I thought to myself, here is someone Dr. said would never talk. And even then, at 11 years old, he said, say Constantinople, and you said Constantinople. I mean, it was awesome, it was awesome to see.

SPEAKER_02 2:37

And then it was the lemon lazy lollipop without the tongue, yeah, and that was great, you remember? And we've lost Dr. Risky since he has passed away.

SPEAKER_00 2:46

I know what a special yeah, I know he was very special to you all.

SPEAKER_02 2:49

He was such a sweetheart, and everything they said this kid wouldn't do, she's done it a million times over.

The Night Fight Became Nonnegotiable

SPEAKER_02 2:56

And then Cheryl has been with us through all of this, and then a couple years ago, it was a horrific night, and we almost lost her again, and she went into complete organ failure. And Miss Cheryl was sending videos in love, and I was playing them for you, and she ended up like they they actually said we will keep her comfortable and let her go. And I was like, Absolutely not, this is not an option, absolutely not. And she wrote another book after words, and it was so just like loving because the book she wrote was all about how while she was in this medically induced coma, she remembers me singing to her and my tears on her face, and and she's just such an inspiration to everyone she meets. And now,

Stecko Squad Books For Hard Days

SPEAKER_02 3:38

can I tell her about your stucco? You tell her about your stucco squad. What am I doing? Oh, tell me.

SPEAKER_01 3:44

Uh uh, we'll go without co with my mom.

SPEAKER_02 3:57

Stecko Squad is a 11 book series that we she is the main character in, and it has Steucco, our service dog, and Cheryl, it goes through like every book, it's a line for four to eight-year-olds, and it goes through things that are challenging at their age from their age perspective. So, like one of them is when home is too loud and kids are going through situations where they hear mom and dad in a domestic violence situation, and it lets them realize it's not their fault. They didn't do anything wrong, that this is not on them, because we don't want them spending their adulthood recovering from their childhood, and that is so important.

SPEAKER_00 4:34

I love how you're speaking to to young people where they're at, no matter what they're going through, because I think so often those are the very kids that feel the most alone.

SPEAKER_02 4:43

Right. And so Faith helped do this 11-part series, and it goes into like when you lose a loved one, or when you're having to go from one home to another because your parents are divorced, or it it literally, or you're being bullied and you or you have special needs and how you're treated and how to handle those situations. And they're just beautiful, beautiful books that she has had such a big part in. And I know you wrote out some questions as well for her before you want to keep going, but I just didn't want you to not tell about your books because it's now Faith, can I ask you something about your books?

SPEAKER_00 5:17

What is it, what what does it mean to you to be able to help kids that way? And what do you hope that any kids who read your books feel and take away from their that experience?

SPEAKER_01 5:30

It depends on the book, but for example, one I wrote about after that night about the hospital. I'm hoping that kids who really will not be afraid of the hospital and that they'll take away that fear cannot control you. But you if you can a hold of it, you can send it clear, quite quick.

SPEAKER_00 5:55

Well, you know what? Actually, that's a message I think almost every human being needs. That to turn because in little or big ways, fear can be such a control in our in our lives. And I I love what you're saying because you know it, you you have spent more time in hospitals than most kids I've ever met. But you've always had such a a great relationship with your doctors and nurses, and and there's just something in you that has has known that they're there to help you, and and you've come out on the other side to you know encourage other other people who might be facing that. So I think that's an awesome message that everybody needs, not just in hospitals, but kind of across the board. That's awesome.

SPEAKER_02 6:48

Yeah, she did tell that one who told her, I'll keep you comfortable and just let nature take its course. She she was the feisty redhead that you know so much, and she let them know that they could, you know. She she let them know.

SPEAKER_00 7:01

Yeah, you need a little fight too. That's that's a healthy thing, too. Yeah, that's good. That's awesome.

SPEAKER_01 7:08

What are your questions?

Brave Conquer Fear And Heart-Led News

SPEAKER_01 7:20

Now that I'm interviewing you, how was how have Walker alongside family last nine through the personal battles came to line on natural claims?

SPEAKER_00 7:34

Wow. Boy, it's changed everything, faith. And you know what's interesting is Brave Conquer Sphere started after a personal experience my family had with one of my children being diagnosed unexpectedly. It wasn't on the radar at all with a serious heart condition that required open heart surgery. And he's the one that drew the Brave Conquer logo, and he was six years old when he drew that. And I took a picture of it because I just had this feeling it was going to be really important and special in our lives. Now he drew that Brave Conquer Sphere logo before he was diagnosed, and I believe that it was put inside him before he needed it and we needed it. So he drew that and I took a picture of it. And then it was a few months later that we found out out of the blue that he was going to have this major open heart surgery. And we drew on that as for strength, like you're saying, like, so that fear wouldn't control us. Like, no, like bravery and doesn't mean you don't feel things, but you step into it with this mindset and perspective that it might be hard, but it could teach us something, and it's an experience we could share with other people. And if we could be there for someone else, wouldn't that make it worth it? So that's what we did. And we wore those t-shirts, and you and your mom had t-shirts that I know you've way outgrown since then. But those Brave Conquerors Fear t-shirts, and we took them to the hospital and we gave them to all the nurses and doctors who took care of us, and then we gave it to other kids who needed it. So he had a lot of the same kind of wants to help people that you do. But you know what's interesting, before that happened, there were some really tough news stories that I covered and I and I got to know the families involved. And I think so, from a very young age, even in my professional life, I always had this desire to bring real heart to it. And we have to report the facts, but that but some of what's factual is people going through really hard things and what they feel. And so I always wanted that to be at the center of the stories I shared. I was right out of college when there was the most serious school shooting the country had ever seen. It was called Columbine. So I was, it was like one of the first stories I ever covered. And I got to know so many of those families, and I have spent time with them not for stories, and they changed my life because I I just made a vow that I would never look at any devastating news story without first thinking about who's going through it, how are they feeling? You know, how could I share this in a way that would make them feel honored and respected? And then when I when I would meet families like yours and so many other Brave Conquer Sphere families, it would strengthen me so much because I would think, like, wow, look at what they're facing with grace and strength and dignity and realness, not saying everything's perfect, not saying anything's easy, but saying this is my experience. I'm looking at it with a positive mindset because I believe it's gonna help somebody else. So I will tell you, it's not just changed the way I've worked every day, but it's changed the way I've lived every day.

SPEAKER_01 11:04

That's a go ahead.

SPEAKER_00 11:07

I was gonna say, and that was an awesome question. Good job.

SPEAKER_02 11:10

She wrote all her own questions for you.

SPEAKER_00 11:12

I'm impressed.

SPEAKER_01 11:14

New one over quiet enemies, including for the brave conquer for your work. Griffin a walk for a griffin personal score like that for griffin and a hand, the one for Melcopen News broadcast.

SPEAKER_00 11:31

Yeah, you know, it does mean something really special because it's like uh our story too. The first Brave Congress fear Emmy we got, I gave it to to my son.

SPEAKER_02 11:44

We have a picture of you guys holding an Emmy from this story.

SPEAKER_00 11:48

Oh yeah, yeah, I think so. Because I said, this actually belongs to you because there wouldn't this wouldn't exist without you and and your experience and and what was what we all learned from it. So they all they all are meaningful, but nothing means more when it has that kind of deep heart connection in in your life personally. So yes, that means excess a little something extra for sure.

SPEAKER_01 12:12

You have kept a pimp going upon you by the Colombian family for over 25 years. When you hold that pimp again, what is a third phase or memory that come from now?

SPEAKER_00 12:26

A first memory from all those families? It's like a whole it's like a whole flood of them that comes back. You know, I I would say from you know, from your story nine years ago to one that I'm kind of still actively telling today, they come rushing back. You know, I've been telling the story of Natalia Manhurts, who got sepsis and and nearly died. And to save her life, they had to cut off her limbs. And she just got fitted for a new set of prosthetics, and she's really starting to really get on this next phase of her journey to walk again and get more independence. And I've been following that and her family for a couple of years now. I think just like it's the most humbling thing ever faced from from you, you know, from sitting there and talking to your doctor and really understanding all the things that were told to you and your mom about what the cannots were gonna do, what you cannot do would be in your life. And then for you to see each time you'd say, Well, I am doing that, and I am doing that, and it just makes you think differently about the word impossible and to stop thinking about what may or may not be impossible, but to really focus all of your heart and soul and strength on what is possible or could be possible, and even if it's not there now, I'm gonna keep trying for it, and it's honestly makes me kind of tear up as we talk about it because it's been the one thing I've seen consistently between every story over all the years you just said. And there was a little boy named Brantley, and he had a brain tumor, and I told Brantley's story the same year as I shared yours. And Brantley's not on this earth anymore, but he is most certainly still with us. And I think the thing I learned from Brantley about what's possible is even, you know, the love that you know carries on whether your body's here or not. And I saw that with Brantley, and he was and such a such a strength and assurance for him about even what he was going through, and and not saying that that was going to be a bad thing and and how he would he loved Christmas ornaments, and so they'd fill the house with Christmas ornaments, and then they shared those Christmas ornaments with other people in the years after that. So I think it's really, I know it's very humbling to see when the world throws like impossibilities at you, and you you say, no matter how hard it is, I'm gonna choose to look at it about a possibility. And that carry that like comes rushing back in memories for me. And then I just see faces like I see your face, I see Brantley's face, I see a little boy named Josiah, I see Nat's face, I just see all of their faces and all the people who love them and fought every step of the way. Because as you know, with your mom sitting right next to you, it's never just happening to one person, it's happening to the people who love them the most.

SPEAKER_02 15:45

Let me tell you, this this child, she says, I'm possible, not impossible. She says, I'm possible.

SPEAKER_00 15:50

I love that.

SPEAKER_02 15:51

I love that. You know, I lost my arm three years ago, and she tells my surgeon, I I was so afraid when I knew I was gonna lose my arm, and I I was so worried about how she was gonna react. And here's this beautiful child who's been through everything, and literally she goes to my surgeon who at this point's done like 16 of my surgeries, and tells the surgeon, tell tell Cheryl what you told the doctor. You're gonna make me cry.

SPEAKER_01 16:18

I don't remember what home, okay, okay, okay, my own.

SPEAKER_02 16:26

She actually told him to give her the amputation and give me her hand as a transplant. And my surgeon is a man, and he was bawling, and he's like, I and I I was just like, No, you know, but this is who she is, and she was serious, right? And that's what she wanted. And you know, and what I love is is that she walks around and she holds my nub and she's like, I'm honored, and she'll walk around and hold my nub and and and and she's like, I you're still my mom. You're I mean that's why she's just my rock star, she's amazing.

SPEAKER_01 17:02

I'll tell her. I feel I know your mom real well, and I'll be one clear one puppet one, off call clean, and the high.

SPEAKER_00 17:11

Yeah, you know, there was something there's there is I sent your mom the link to the original story, Faith, that we did all those years ago. And there was one thing you said that I'll never forget. And you said, My mom is as strong as a mountain. And and think about all the things that you guys have faced since then in the last nine years. And I would say you are equally, I think you both are as strong as a mountain. And I think what's so beautiful is you make each other stronger. And that means a lot, you know, because I know your mom, when she was watching you fight in the hospital a couple of years ago, she saw a strength in you. That's that that's that strength in you that would say the doctor, don't you say that about me? We're not making me comfortable. I've got work to do still. And I think that's I think that's something you definitely get from your mom. And I think she gets stronger watching you.

SPEAKER_02 18:03

Absolutely. And I actually framed that one frame. You did it's a huge picture on my wall. I love that. That and it's you and her, and I love that. It's amazing. So there's your questions. You could tell her what you've been up to, too.

SPEAKER_00 18:15

Yeah, yeah.

Olympics Mishaps And Meaningful Moments

SPEAKER_01 18:18

Yeah, you cover eight Olympics. What if a woman had a single ascend that was stressful then? But if now you're saying that school is kind of going upon.

SPEAKER_02 18:33

You've covered eight different Olympics, and during your Olympic coverage, what was a behind-the-scenes disaster that was stressful then, but a hilarious story to tell now?

SPEAKER_00 18:44

Oh my gosh, I love this question so much. I have to send you this picture. I gotta send you this picture from Italy. I have a couple. I I mean, the funny thing is I can tell you one from every single Olympics, but I'll stick to the one we just had. But so the days are it's an amazing assignment, and I love to go. But you also go knowing you're in for a marathon because I don't say this to be like, oh, poor us, we work long days. Just the fact of the matter is the days are long. And it's great because every day is full of really exciting things. You're seeing cool places, you're meeting amazing people, and for almost a month, you're covering happy celebrations, right? So I just want to say that off the bat. So it's not like, oh, I'm complaining about long days. But when you start your day at about six in the morning and you work till 12 or 1 at night or two at night, and that's you know, you do that for 25 days straight, and sometimes it's an all-nighter here or there, depending on what's going on. Yeah, I'm an older, I'm getting older, Faith. I don't run on no sleep the way I used to. I just feel like my brain is like slow motion sometimes. So it had been a couple of weeks and I hadn't slept, and for the best reason, because a woman I adore and respect, Alana Myers Taylor, won a gold medal. She's from the state of Georgia, grew up in Atlanta. She has two special needs kids, and she and her family are amazing, and and they're incredible people. And so when she won a gold medal, yeah, it was amazing. But then we just went and we were like 24-7, you know. So that was a very busy day. So I didn't sleep at all. And the following day on no sleep, I was trying to do a show, and my brain to my mouth was not working really well. And I thought, like, come on. So there's this one point I'm in a commercial break, and I and there's a picture of me just like this. And it's so funny because a friend of mine back at the station took a picture and she's like, Are you okay? And I said, I'm just like begging my brain to work better, you know. I'm just like, come on, Cheryl, you know, like you got one more hour, you gotta pull this out, you know, do it, have the energy, make it work. And we just died laughing. It was really, really funny. So that was a funny one. Gosh, oh, here's another one that happened in Italy. So the the city of Milan is humongous, it's like New York City big. And the mountain events where the skiers and Alana was bobsledding was about five hours away up in the mountains. And so to get there, you'd take a fast bullet train, then you'd get onto a bus and you'd take the bus to the little tiny town. And so on my trip there, I was going live on the bus and on the train. So I would do live reports from the train. So I was on the bus and I said, Oh, back to my team. Oh, Aisha, the bus just stopped. I uh we must be gonna, we must be about ready to pick somebody up. And then I keep doing the report. And then I find out, no, that was where I was supposed to get off the bus. So I totally missed my stop because I was busy talking on the air, and then at the next Next stop, I got out and we were doing another report. And I said, Well, here I want to show you this little town. I didn't think I'd ever be on this street because I I missed I missed my last stop. So all kinds of stuff are happening behind the scenes, but it's part of what makes it so much fun. And you just go with the flow. I mean, that I actually probably was the most fun morning show we got to do, not because everything went right, but because it was kind of funny that some things went wrong, you know.

SPEAKER_02 22:26

Well, you have interviewed Scott Hamilton, he was so sweet and so much fun.

SPEAKER_00 22:32

Oh, he's so awesome.

SPEAKER_02 22:34

I mean, he has a story. He definitely has a story.

SPEAKER_00 22:37

He has an amazing story. Yeah. Absolutely. He's he has an amazing story. And I love that he keeps giving, giving to the sport. And you know, the figure skaters were were amazing. And and to that point, even the hard things were turned out for good. You know, we got to talk to Iliam Alan after his skate did not go how he hoped. I mean, he said, like, that was a disaster. He said, But you know what? But I believe I'll be better because that happened. I don't think that happened for no reason. I think that that's going to teach me something very important in my life, and I'm going to choose to look at that way. And I thought that was really strong and wise and humble because to do that on the world stage is not easy when everyone's just expecting it to look easy. They make it look easy, but it's really hard. And anybody can have an off day and everybody can have a bad day. So some of the coolest conversations I had were not based on when everything went exactly perfect.

SPEAKER_02 23:36

What was your that was on this one?

SPEAKER_01 23:41

You weren't thinking of coin about falling asleep and a scoffline in a career from the software. How

Burnout Warnings And Real Balance

SPEAKER_01 23:49

can you recognize your own right now? And what can you call a cloak and not buying a balance?

SPEAKER_00 23:56

That's a great question. You know, it's funny. I I think balance is sort of a loaded word because it implies that everything's equal. But I I think like over the years I've had to learn that things have to kind of ebb and flow, you know? And so, you know, like the Olympics is a good example. Like that's a time I know I'm gonna be gone for three and a half weeks and I got to keep my foot on the gas and I'm just gonna, I'm gonna go until I collapse, knowing there's a light at the end of the tunnel. But then when I come home, I need to pull back a little and refuel. And and that was that was very, that was at the very beginning of my career fray. That's even when I was an intern, like right out of college. And, you know, I really wanted to work hard. I wanted to get every experience and every opportunity I could. So I was say yes to everything, of course. And so I was working like at that point, two and a half jobs, and it was on the drive from one job to the next, and I and I started to doze off at a stoplight. And I remember going into my boss that day saying, Thank you so much for this opportunity. It really means everything, but I have to make a choice because I I don't want to hurt anybody. I mean, when it really became about, gosh, could I could I burn myself out so much that I could hurt somebody else? Because when I'm in a car, yeah, it's not just about me, it's about everybody around me. And and here I am 21 years old. It scared me enough to say, like, I have to be more careful about how depleted I let myself get for that reason. So that was a good baseline. But the truth is it's it's a struggle. I think any anybody can relate to it, but maybe especially working moms can relate to how there are so many important things on your plate. And and how do you do that? And I just say, I think we do the the very best we can, but I sometimes play this game with myself and I say, you know, what would, God willing, my 80-year-old self say about this moment? And if that woman wouldn't think it was such a huge deal, then I have to give myself permission to pull back. Like, what are the really most important things in our life and how do we protect those things? And those usually come down to the things and the some ones that you love the most, you know.

Building A Life Of Service

SPEAKER_02 26:17

Well, I want to brag about little Faith here for a second because you know, over all the years, we've always stayed in touch and she absolutely loves you. I do too. And and we've done children's miracle network together, and we've done all these other things. And she Cheryl has always said, You're gonna do amazing. And like here you are with your Stecko Squad series that we've done together. And now I partnered up with Michael Magniak, and I'm doing I'm also working with the care coalition. It's a nonprofit for mental health awareness. And there is a podcast called Holding It Together, kinda. She's gonna be on it talking about mental health and children and teenagers. And she just interviewed Amir Arson, who's a Ram Moshbai from the blacklist. She just spent like an hour and a half with me. He was amazing. And she is like so out there. And I keep telling her, you know, she's out there doing podcasts, she's out there helping me with the care coalition, she's helping me with a contagious smile and all that I'm doing there. She's writing, she's got a book coming out, echoes in your skull about like all of the voices and going through different things and the fear and all of these things that were going on. And she's a lot like me, where she won't talk about her accomplishments, but she needs to because what she's doing is helping so many people.

SPEAKER_00 27:32

So 100%. 100%. And I just know you enough to know, Faith, it's because you you are so quick to recognize all the amazing things about other people, and you'd rather talk about that. But I think it's really important that we get to be able to do that about you because don't ever miss that you each of those things your mom just rattled off, and I know there's more that she didn't even talk about. It's it's more than just the thing, it's it's back to the thing about I'm possible. Like what is possible? Each of those things that you're a part of and that you're doing is proving to the next person that has some doubts or echoes rattling around in their brain that it's possible and I'm gonna I'm gonna go for it. If faith can do it, I I could do it too. And so I I love how humble you are, but I I'm also happy that your mom kind of nudges you, you know, to talk about those things because I think for you to just remember it's not just because we adore you and are so proud of you, which is a thousand percent true, but also because it's going to really encourage the next person who wonders if maybe so there's something that that they they could do too.

SPEAKER_02 28:40

Absolutely. And and I've been trying to talk her into it and ask Miss Cheryl what she thinks about her doing support groups for kids her age. And I keep saying kids because to me she'll always be my kids, just like Carol's kids are always her kids. A young lady, a young adult, like she could do wonderful more support groups and and helping people because everywhere she goes, she helps people and she talks to people and she brings such comfort and calmness to people that are in these crisis moments. And so I'm trying to get her in the care coalition to do like online support groups for young adults and and help them because she is very calming, she is very supportive and understanding and empathetic, and she just brings so much light. And I wish she could see herself, just like I know your kids could see themselves for the way we see them, because it's so important.

SPEAKER_00 29:26

What do you think about it, Faith?

SPEAKER_01 29:32

Um honestly not I may not let you honestly not like.

But I'm always here to help if I think you could ask her her last question and then we can end this and then you could say goodbye off air. So do you want to ask her your last question?

SPEAKER_01 30:04

And I've got my own clear. What if the one piece of wisdom for new career that you hope I'll carry with me, regardless of whether I ever scrap in front of the camera?

SPEAKER_00 30:20

I think the one thing that I would want you to take away from it is just understanding that people can feel and see a heart as much as they could hear and see what's right in front of them. Because I think a lot of people are on different screens all over the place, right? There's something about a connection that happens that's so much deeper than what you see on a screen or hear in your ear pod, you know? And and that comes just from your heart and your experience and your authenticity. And that is your superpower, faith. And I hope you always carry that with you.

SPEAKER_02 31:09

Okay, you want to close off and then I'll close off, I'm gonna close off.

SPEAKER_01 31:15

Go ahead.
