Ep. 128: Embracing Life's Unseen Transitions

Maybe I Can® with Debbie Weiss

Send us a text

I wasn’t expecting to attend my son’s college graduation alone. But there I was—proud, emotional, and deeply aware of who was missing.

In this episode of the Maybe I Can podcast, I share what it felt like to face a moment that should’ve been joyful… but also brought up grief and reflection. Life has a way of shifting underneath us—sometimes without our permission—and I know I’m not the only one who’s had to figure out how to move forward from something I didn’t choose.

✨ If you’re navigating an empty nest, coping with loss, or simply feeling unsure about what’s next, this one’s for you.

💬 I talk about:

• The emotions that surfaced sitting alone at graduation
• How I’m learning to honor what’s missing while still showing up
• The pain and power of transitions
• Why I believe even now… maybe I can

You are not alone. And even when life surprises you, there’s still hope—and strength—on the other side.
