In this follow-up to our conversation with Casting for Recovery’s Executive Director, Susan Gaetz, we’re joined by Kara Armano—a breast cancer survivor and participant-turned-leader of CfR’s powerful retreats. Kara sits down with Haley to share how fly fishing, connection, and time in nature helped shape her healing journey.

She reflects on the unexpected challenges of rural recovery, the deep bonds formed on the water, and why retreats like these matter more than ever. With 1 in 8 women in the U.S. affected by breast cancer, CfR’s work offers not just an escape, but a path toward renewal, community, and peace.
