Today we’re chatting with Debbie Weiss, who is an author, speaker, and digital creator.
Debbie lost both her father and husband after being a caregiver to both of them. In this episode we talk about the process of caregiving for her father since the age of 17, followed by the mental and physical illness her husband suffered from for years which was incredibly challenging for her as well.
With over 60 years of experience overcoming life’s challenges, Debbie is a best-selling author, Canfield Certified Trainer, entrepreneur, and inspirational speaker. She wrote the memoir “On Second Thought... Maybe I Can”.
Through her newest book, “The Sprinkle Effect: A Guide to Living a More Colorful and Fulfilling Life”, along with its companion workbook, she continues her journey of inspiring others.
This episode digs into family caregiving, anticipatory grief, guilt after a loved one passes away, and how writing her memoir while her husband was dying helped her cope.
