The hardest experiences in life can become the most meaningful stories—especially when told with honesty, heart, and hope. In this deeply moving episode, Brigitte Cutshall speaks with Tony Stewart, author of "Carrying the Tiger: Living with Cancer, Dying with Grace, Finding Joy While Grieving." Watch on YouTube, listen on Apple, Spotify or iHeartRadio.

The conversation unfolds on the day of the book’s official release—a memoir chronicling Tony’s journey as a caregiver to his wife Lynn during her six-year battle with stage 4 non-smoker’s lung cancer. He reflects on the highs and lows of caregiving, the toll it took on his mental and physical health, and how their love deepened through hardship.

They discuss:

• The emotional and logistical challenges of long-term caregiving.

• Why he chose the metaphor of “carrying the tiger”.

• The importance of honesty, flexibility, and letting go of “battle” language when it comes to illness.

The episode is a tribute to vulnerability, resilience, and the enduring power of love.
