In this episode, Wendy Goldberg sits down with author Tony Stewart to explore the story behind his moving memoir, Carrying the Tiger: Living with Cancer, Dying with Grace, Finding Joy While Grieving.

Tony opens up about the love story that shaped the book, the loss of his wife Lynn, and how writing became both a mirror and a map for his healing.

Together, Wendy and Tony reflect on what it means to hold grief with tenderness, to write from the truth of experience, and to find moments of joy—even in sorrow.

If you’ve ever loved deeply, lost profoundly, or longed for a way to make sense of it all, this conversation is for you. Learn more about Tony Stewart and his memoir Carrying the Tiger at: 🔗 www.tonystewartauthor.com

This week on Sundays with Wendy, I sit down with massage therapist, Reiki master, life coach—and two-time cancer thriver—Janet McCarthy, who shares how she approached her second diagnosis entirely differently.

We talk about listening to your intuition, rewriting the rules, and the power of saying no thank you to what doesn’t feel right.

💬 If you’ve ever felt like a passenger in your own healing, this one’s for you.

What if speaking up could change the course of your healing? When Julie Stevens was diagnosed with stage 4, aggressive, inoperable cancer, she realized that the traditional medical system wasn’t built for individualized healing. Instead of blindly following the standard treatment plan, she used data, self-advocacy, and alternative healing strategies to take control of her journey—and now, she’s helping others do the same.

The truth? Patients often don’t say what they need to—because they don’t know they can. In this episode, we uncover the critical conversations that every patient should have with their doctors, caregivers, and themselves.
