#127: Documenting The Recovery Journey Into A New Life with Peter Stavros

from Off The Comma · host Paul Briley

In this episode, we talk to Peter Stavros. He describes himself as creative, resilient and a work in progress. Peter lives in the United States. Peter tells us about sitting on a comma with colitis, a health condition that rendered him out of commission for an entire year. While battling with his health scare, Peter was inspired to document his recovery by writing about it. Not only did this help him mentally survive this difficult process, but it also sparked a creative craving that ultimately led him to change careers and shift to a lighter, more expressive way of working. Tune in to hear what Peter means when he says “I finally walked the 50 feet”.  You can find Peter on:Website:  https://peterjstavros.com Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/PeterJStavros/ Linkedin:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterjstavros/  X:  https://x.com/PeterJStavros/ Peter would like to acknowledge the following individuals, organizations and/or causes that matter to him and invite you to consider supporting them and/or sharing their messages:My wife, Christine, who was my nurse, coach and #1 fan  https://www.linkedin.com/in/christine-stavros-cpa-1b90a144/ Team Challenge, Crohn's and Colitis Foundation  https://teamchallenge.crohnscolitisfoundation.org/pages/1962  Team Challenge is the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation’s endurance community — where we turn miles into momentum and fundraising into breakthroughs.

But when it comes to cures, impatience is a virtue.
