Caroline (Carole) Motycka

Life didn’t just slap her around—it threw a full-on wrestling match. Loss at an early age? Check. A couple of near-death experiences? Check. Raising four wild and beautiful sons? Check. Cancer that stomped her life and marriage into the ground? Check. Losing her spouse? Double check.


She’s not here to pretty up your mess or hand you a tissue with a side of clichés. Nope. Caroline’s here to prove that when life drags you off the beaten path, rolls you down a rocky cliff—you don’t break. You claw back up, flip the bird to the universe, and plant your flag on the damn summit yelling, “You tried, you lose, I survived!”


With razor-sharp honesty, gut-level vulnerability, twisted humor that hit harder than life itself, Caroline is rewriting her story—and handing you the pen to write yours. Because guess what? Real power doesn’t live in perfection. It exists in the cracks, the chaos, and the so-called weakness. #carolineaftercancer

Chase Peckham

Chase lived what he often describes as a charmed life. Blessed with a loving family, a happy childhood, and years filled with opportunity, he rarely knew hardship—until life changed dramatically at 40, when his mother became ill and died from complications with dementia. Just several years later, after dealing with anxiety and depression, in 2021, Chase’s wife, Keri was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer at the age of 42. Together, they faced the devastating journey of her illness while raising their two children, then just 11 and 13. In 2022, Keri passed away, leaving Chase to navigate grief, fatherhood, and a life forever transformed. Today, Chase shares his story with honesty, heart and humor, reflecting on love, loss, resilience, and the strength it takes to rebuild after unimaginable change.
