Debbie Weiss asked herself, “If not now, when?”—and transformed her life. "I realized that I had the power within me to change,” she tells Lesley Jane Seymour on the Reinvent Yourself podcast. “It was just changing my approach and my thoughts." Her desire for change ultimately helped her make the leap from a conventional insurance career to becoming an advocate for personal growth. As a caregiver and mom to a son with autism, Weiss overcame immense challenges, finding reinvention through podcasts, mindset coaching, and community. Her memoir, On Second Thought, Maybe I Can, inspires others to take small steps toward their dreams. Tune in to learn how her  journey can help you unlock your potential.
