On this episode of Media Rebel Unplugged, Janice sits down with Debbie Weiss, bestselling author, speaker, and host of the Maybe I Can podcast. They dive into the journey of self discovery and how it's never too late to reimagine your life. Debbie offers inspiration and guidance for personal growth, valuable "life lessons", and emphasizes a positive "mindset" at any stage.

Debbie shares her story of becoming a caregiver at just 17, spending decades putting everyone else first, and hitting a breaking point at 50 where she knew something had to change.

What looked like a successful life on the outside was masking exhaustion, burnout, and a complete loss of self. Debbie opens up about what it really takes to rebuild after years of caregiving, how to shift your mindset, and why small, consistent actions matter more than big, overwhelming goals. From starting with something as simple as showing up for herself each week, to completely transforming her health, mindset, and purpose, her journey is a powerful reminder that change does not have to happen all at once.

Janice and Debbie also talk about leadership, identity, and what it looks like to rediscover who you are when you’ve spent years prioritizing everyone else. This conversation is especially relevant for women leaders and entrepreneurs who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of what’s next, and need a reminder that it is never too late to choose yourself and create something new.

In this episode, Janice is joined by Lauren Kwedar Cockerell, founder and president of Kwedar & Co., for an honest conversation about resilience, motivation, and what it really takes to keep the motivation as an entrepreneur.

Lauren shares how being laid off at eight months pregnant became the unexpected start of her entrepreneurial journey, and how she turned a difficult season into the foundation for a thriving business.

Lauren opens up about the power of starting over, the importance of having mentors and a strong support system, and what it looks like to keep going when things feel uncertain. She and Janice talk about the reality of entrepreneurship, the loneliness that can come with it, and why resilience is less about having it all figured out and more about continuing to get back up.

They also get into the emotional side of leadership, processing hard moments, journaling through challenges, and learning not to let difficult seasons define you. Lauren shares the mindset that has helped carry her through some of her biggest pivots: this is the best thing that’s ever happened to me, I just don’t know how yet. It’s a conversation full of real perspective for women leaders and entrepreneurs who are building something meaningful while navigating life in real time.
