Send us a textHow do you navigate the emotional turbulence of caregiving while staying true to your personal passions? Join us for a heartfelt episode featuring Debbie Weiss, a best-selling author, speaker, coach, and course creator, who shares her remarkable journey of caregiving that began when she was just 17. From becoming the primary caregiver for her father after he suffered a massive stroke to supporting her oldest son diagnosed with autism, and later, her husband through his battle with physical and mental illnesses and blood cancer, Debbie's story is one of resilience and unwavering love. We'll also hear from Traci, who shares her own experiences of caregiving for her father, giving us all a profound look into the dedication and strength required to advocate for loved ones.

What happens when mental health struggles intensify in the midst of terminal illness? Debbie opens up about how her husband's severe depression and anxiety escalated in his final years, and how she found solace through writing. Encouraged by her therapist, she nearly completed her first book draft before her husband's passing, using her creative passion as a means to cope with grief. This episode offers a candid reflection on the complexities of managing mental health issues within families, and the therapeutic power of creative outlets. Don’t miss this inspiring conversation that showcases the immense challenges and growth that come with caregiving, and the healing potential of following one’s passions amidst life's toughest trials.
