On Episode 137 of Mile 40, host Bishoy Tadros sits down with Kaitlyn Kiely, a woman whose journey redefines resilience, love, and the power of facing life’s hardest moments head-on. Kaitlyn grew up in a highly structured, sports-focused household in New Jersey, eventually playing collegiate soccer at Marist and earning her master’s in speech-language pathology from Northeastern. But Kaitlyn’s story is far more than athletic achievement—her path is marked by profound adversity and the kind of bounce-back moments that inspire us all.


Kaitlyn opens up about the challenges of her regimented childhood, how it shaped her personality, and how she later found new perspectives through both her career and personal life. The episode takes a powerful turn as Kaitlyn shares the life-altering event when her now-husband Matt suffered a severe spinal cord injury, just days before he planned to propose. She offers an unfiltered look at navigating trauma, grief, and the realities of caregiving, while trying to maintain hope and rebuild a sense of normalcy.


As Kaitlyn and Bishoy discuss everything from pushing Matt in a marathon to overcoming infertility through IVF, listeners will hear about the importance of leaning on community, redefining family, and learning to appreciate the little things that make up a joyful life. Kaitlyn’s journey is a reminder that while adversity is inevitable, so too is the opportunity for growth, compassion, and discovering what truly matters. Get ready for an episode that will challenge your perspective and leave you grateful for the everyday moments.
