Another Inspire! Program Complete

by

On today’s show, my co-host and I interviewed Peter Flierl, the husband of a woman who celebrated 25 years of survivorship just yesterday!

Peter is also a writer and a motivational speaker and he’s got serious expertise on the concept of care-giving. He’s written a book called, “Prayer, Laughter, and Broccoli” and he was on the program to talk about the contents of that book — a book that is a downright survival guide for husbands when their wife is diagnosed with breast cancer.

Peter was a fantastic guest — he touched on some great points for husbands to internalize, like ‘Say Yes’ to help, ‘Be Verbal’ with words of love and support for your wife and ‘Help with the Kids.’ But my favorite part of the interview, though, was when Peter shared with us how deeply meaningful and intimate his sexual encounters with his wife were after her treatment — what a new perspective for me as a woman and a wife. I loved hearing his take on this particular issue because, well, it’s beautiful.

You’ve got to give this show a listen. I’ve put an Inspire! icon on the right-hand sidebar of this page under ‘Blogging Flair’ and you can click to listen right from my site here.
