The Transition Bridge Podcast

Our tears are sacred.“Tears shed for another person are not a sign of weakness. They are a sign of a pure heart.”Our episode today will be a tender one, where we will hear from Tony Stewart and his journey with his beautiful wife Lynn as they navigated together through their transition of loss when Lynn was diagnosed with Stage 4 Cancer.During this journey, Tony used CaringBridge to share with his friends what he and Lynn were experiencing each day. He found that his posts not only helped them as they were processing their grief and decisions, but they were also touching those who were reading what he posted each day.Tony used these posts as the inspiration to create and write his memoir.His memoir, “Carrying the Tiger, Living with Cancer, Dying with Grace and Finding Joy While Grieving,” is an inspiring story of love, loss, and recovery.Let me share one of the many reviews of his book.“A Masterclass in facing life's hardest moments with grace will resonate with anyone who has faced serious illness or the loss of a loved one.” Indie Reader Connect with Tony:https://www.tonystewartauthor.com/https://www.instagram.com/tonystewartny/https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61570889459153 CONNECT WITH DEBIDo you feel stuck?  Do you sense it's time for a change, but are unsure where to start or how to move forward? Schedule a clarity call!Free Clarity Call: https://calendly.com/debironca/free-clarity-callWebsite – https://www.debironca.comInstagram - @debironcaEmail – info@debironca.com Check out my online course!Your Story's Changing, finding Purpose in Life's Transitionshttps://course.sequoiatransitioncoaching.com/8-week-programThe Family Letter by Debi Ronca – International Best Sellerhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SSJFXBD

“Transformation is not automatic, it must be learned, it must be led”My guest today, Deekron Krikorian is a highly sought-after High-Performance Coach, but his life prior to this was filled with numerous and challenging transitions.He was laid off from a 6-figure job, went through a painful divorce, transitioned from the corporate world to the entrepreneurial world, experienced near bankruptcy of his startup, and personally passed through a very dark period where he felt anxious, directionless, and unfulfilled.“While the transitions were emotionally and financially challenging, they taught me to dig deep and stay true to myself, vs. running back to safety.

Her mother was the first woman Sculptor in Iran, graduating from Tehran University in Fine Arts.When her mother became ill, Azita being only 17, took her mother to Paris for treatment.  While there, the war between Iran and Iraq broke out, the borders were closed which prevented she and her mother from returning to Tehran, leaving them with little money, a suitcase, and no place to live.Dr. Azita's story is riveting, filled with so many obstacles, yet she chose to persevere, overcome and her practice has changed the lives of so many hurting people around the world. It was during this challenging season in her life, that Azita received a letter from her grandmother.“My dear granddaughter, I know how hard you are working and learning.   Don't worry.  You are digging a well with a needle.   One day, you'll reach the water which will spring out and benefit others.”Dr. Azita shares that once she became a plastic surgeon, she started going on mission trips around the world in 1991 helping children and adults with cleft lip and palate, burns etc. “I always remember what my grandmother told me.”Dr. Azita has a practice in Houston, Texas where she offers a wide range of surgical and non-surgical procedures. Check out her website to find out more about her services. CONNECT WITH Dr. Azitawww.DrAzitaMadjidi.com CONNECT WITH DEBIDo you feel stuck?  Do you sense its time for a change but unsure where to start or how to move forward?  Schedule a clarity call!Free Clarity Call: https://calendly.com/debironca/free-clarity-callWebsite – https://www.debironca.comInstagram - @debironcaEmail – info@debironca.comCheck out my online course!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Your Story's Changing, finding Purpose in Life's Transitionshttps://course.sequoiatransitioncoaching.com/8-week-programThe Family Letter by Debi Ronca – International Best Sellerhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SSJFXBD
