Introducing a Cystic Fibrosis Podcast

Welcome to Our Fight to Breathe, a podcast rooted in resilience, community, and the power of storytelling. My name is Caleigh Haber, and I'm so glad you're here. I was born with cystic fibrosis, a progressive genetic rare disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. I've undergone two double lung transplants, spent years navigating the health care system, and I've lived through moments I wasn't sure I'd survive. But through it all, one thing has kept me going, community.

The fierce, brilliant, and brave voices of others who know what it means to fight for every breath. This podcast was born from that fight. Our fight to breathe is a space to elevate the voices of people living with chronic illness, disability, and rare disease. It's a space where we talk about the realities of what we face, the triumphs and the grief, the injustice and the joy, the medical complexities, and the very human stories behind them. Each episode will feature guests from all corners of the CF and medical world, from patients and caregivers to healthcare professionals and advocates.

Together, we'll explore not just what it means to survive, but what it means to truly live. My hope is that you'll walk away from each episode feeling seen, understood, and a little less alone. Whether you're navigating this life yourself or you're here to learn, listen, or support someone you love, this podcast is for you. Thank you for being here. Let's keep fighting together.
