As a fitness expert, race announcer, and author, Fitz is no stranger to overcoming obstacles, but cancer presented a new challenge that tested her resilience and mental strength. Throughout the conversation, Fitz discusses the &#8220;three P&#8217;s&#8221; that became her guiding mantra during treatment: Perspective, Patience, and Perseverance.<\/p>\n<p>Fitz explains how these three principles helped her remain focused on the things that mattered most to her, even as she faced debilitating cancer treatments. Perspective helped her stay positive, viewing her battle as a temporary setback rather than a permanent roadblock. Patience allowed her to accept the slow pace of recovery and give herself grace during difficult times. Perseverance kept her pushing forward, never allowing cancer to take away the things she loved or distract her from her goals.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the episode, Fitz provides a deep insight into how she navigated this challenging period, with the help of her family and community, while also keeping her passion for health and fitness alive. The three P&#8217;s became her anchor, helping her maintain the drive to continue her work, stay connected with her family, and remain hopeful for the future.<\/p>\n<p>Fitz&#8217;s story is one of strength, hope, and determination. She offers valuable advice for anyone facing difficult circumstances, especially those battling health challenges. Her mantra of Perspective, Patience, and Perseverance is an empowering reminder that with the right mindset, it is possible to overcome even the toughest of times and continue to pursue what you love most.<\/p>\n<p>This episode of the <em>Pain Game Podcast <\/em>is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration, motivation, and practical strategies to navigate adversity and maintain focus on their personal and professional goals. Fitz&#8217;s journey shows that no matter what challenges you face, you can rise above them with the right mindset and determination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this episode of the Pain Game Podcast, Fitz Koehler joins Lyndsay Soprano to share her inspiring journey through breast cancer and how she coached herself through this challenging experience&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":147,"featured_media":71280,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9293],"tags":[472,3916,939,1050,1409,3805,9518,1937,9519,8934],"class_list":{"0":"post-70772","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-video","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fitz-in-the-media","8":"tag-cancer","9":"tag-chronic-pain","10":"tag-exercise","11":"tag-fitzness","12":"tag-interview","13":"tag-los-angeles","14":"tag-lyndsay-soprano","15":"tag-pain","16":"tag-pain-game","17":"tag-podcast","18":"post_format-post-format-video"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
