In this deeply moving episode, Stephanie Olivo sits down with Tony Stewart, author of Carrying the Tiger, to hear the courageous and tender story of his late wife, Lynn—an artist whose vibrant spirit left an indelible mark even as she faced the unthinkable: a cancer diagnosis that would ultimately take her life. Listen on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

Tony walks us through the raw and real moments—from the day they learned of Lynn’s illness to the emotional terrain of hospice, her passing, and the hollow quiet that followed. But this is not just a story of loss. It’s a story of profound love, honoring a shared life, and learning how to breathe again when your world has shifted.

We talk about the ongoing work of grief, the fear and healing in being honest about pain, and the quiet bravery it takes to move toward happiness, not away from love, but with it carried forward.

Whether you're grieving, supporting someone who is, or simply navigating the complexities of life and love, this conversation will remind you that it's okay to open your heart again—even if it’s broken.
