Ep. 159: The Story I Told Myself That Kept Me Stuck

from Maybe I Can® with Debbie Weiss · host Debbie Weiss

Send us Fan MailFor a long time, I believed my life was already decided.I thought my age, my responsibilities, and my circumstances meant this was just the way things were — and there was nothing I could do about it. I wasn’t miserable, but I was exhausted, burnt out, and quietly resigned.In this episode, I share the moment that changed everything for me — not overnight, but at the core. As I approached 50, a simple question forced me to take an honest look at the story I was telling myself and the belief that it was “too late.”We talk about caregiving, comparison, burnout, belief, and why change doesn’t start with a plan — it starts with the decision to question the story you’ve been living in.If you’ve ever felt stuck, behind, or convinced that it’s too late for you, I want you to hear this:The day I realized I could change my life wasn’t the day everything changed.But it was the day anything became possible.And the same can be true for you.Support the show🌸✨ WELCOME — START HERE ✨🌸 (Consider this your gentle nudge toward something new.)💖 NEW!
