Chef AJ: How to Keep Going When Life Gets Hard

Chef AJ joins Chuck Carroll for a deeply personal—and very funny—conversation about health challenges, resilience, friendship and finding joy during difficult times.

AJ opens up about continuing to exercise and attend improv comedy classes even during an extraordinarily difficult year of cancer treatment. For her, those were the things that made life feel better, and she refused to give them up.

Chuck and AJ also talk about the friendship they’ve developed while both dealing with health challenges of their own and how simple messages checking in on one another have meant so much.

Plus, the two look ahead to much happier times at the Plant Powered Party in Las Vegas September 4–6. Chuck will join AJ and an all-star lineup of plant-based doctors, chefs and experts for three days of food, health, laughter and fun.

And if you can’t make it to Las Vegas, you can watch virtually from anywhere in the world. Use the link in the episode notes to join the party.

Above all, this episode is about continuing to live, laugh and move forward even when life gets hard.
