Maybe I Can – Interview with Debbie Weiss

December 10, 2025

This is my one and only life — and I don’t want to look back one day filled with regret for the things I never gave myself permission to do.

Hi, I’m Debbie.

For most of my life, I didn’t question much. Like so many of us, I inherited a set of beliefs from my upbringing — and I assumed they were right. I believed life was about doing the right thing, being responsible, and putting others first… always.

That belief got locked in the day after I graduated high school, when my dad had a massive stroke. I became his primary caregiver for the next 30 years. Over time, that role expanded — to my son, my husband, and just about everyone else around me.

I was the fixer. The problem-solver. The one people could count on.
And while that’s something I’m proud of, I lost sight of me in the process.

I used to say, “It is what it is.”

That I didn’t have a choice.
That other people could do what they love, chase dreams, make bold moves — but not me.
I had responsibilities. I had limits. I had excuses that felt like truth.

But then I turned 50.
And something inside me cracked open.

What if… this isn’t all there is?

What if I can try something new?

What if I can take control of where my life is headed?

What if… maybe I can?

That’s when everything began to change.

Today, I’m rewriting the rules and designing a life that finally fits — one small shift, one bold decision, one sprinkle at a time.
And I’m here to help other women do the same.

Follow along. You just might find your own “maybe I can” moment too.
