About this episode
Peter Stavros shares his journey of recovery from colitis and how it inspired a career change and creative expression.
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”.
