Are you ready to turn adversity into triumph? My guest today, Debbie Weiss, has done just that. A seasoned life strategist, author, entrepreneur, podcast host, and family caregiver, Debbie has turned her life's challenges into a journey of resilience and hope. Her powerful memoir, "On Second Thought, Maybe I Can...", serves as an inspiration to chase our dreams, no matter the hurdles we face.
Debbie and I explore the territories of overcoming fear and embarking on personal growth. Sharing her experience as a caregiver, Debbie opens up about the loneliness accompanied by the role and how she pushed past the fear of exploring new things. Boundaries and self-care come up as indispensable parts of the conversation, reflecting Debbie's own journey of writing her memoir amidst caregiving.
We delve deeper into the essence of the caregiver's identity and the oft-neglected aspect of self-care. Debbie’s candid narration of her own journey as a caregiver underscores the critical importance of self-care when caring for a loved one. Our discussion moves to her challenging times while leaving home for college when her father was ill, underlining the need to understand the physical, social, and emotional needs of a caregiver. Join us for this treasure trove of life lessons and inspirations – you wouldn't want to miss it!
