Descripción

In this episode of Listen Bitch Presents: Tell Me Why You’re Special, I sit down with Debbie Weiss to talk about what happens when life forces you to take a hard look at yourself. Debbie shares how turning 50 became a turning point—after years of putting others first, facing loss, and watching the impact of regret up close. We get into the reality of shifting out of a victim mindset, taking ownership of your life, and why small, consistent changes matter more than big, unsustainable ones. This conversation also touches on grief, personal responsibility, parenting challenges, and what it looks like to move forward without pretending the hard stuff didn’t happen. If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like it’s “too late” to change… this episode will hit. I’m Debbie Weiss, a best-selling author and professional speaker who talks openly about midlife change, caregiving, loss, and what it really takes to rebuild your life after years of putting everyone else first. For decades, I lived with a victim mentality. I believed my weight struggles, years of family caregiving, infertility, and later widowhood were reasons life could not be what I hoped for. Turning 50 became a turning point, when I realized that waiting for circumstances to change was keeping me stuck. That shift did not erase my challenges, but it changed how I showed up for my life. That experience became the foundation for my inspirational memoir, On Second Thought… Maybe I Can!, which I later shared on The Kelly Clarkson Show. I also wrote The Sprinkle Effect, a practical guide that helps people move forward through small, intentional shifts rather than big, overwhelming change. Today, I speak on stages and on podcasts about responsibility, resilience, identity, and starting again later than you expected. I’m known for honest, relatable conversations that blend insight, warmth, and real-life perspective. My goal is always to leave audiences feeling seen, less alone, and capable of taking a meaningful next step. If your show values thoughtful conversation, real stories, and guests who bring depth without heaviness, I’d be honored to join you. https://bit.ly/maybeIcanbook [https://bit.ly/maybeIcanbook]

episode 97: Shelli Galvan in the hot seat artwork

97: Shelli Galvan in the hot seat

In this episode of Listen Bitch Presents: Tell Me Why You’re Special, I sit down with Shelli Galvan to talk about fear, health, and what happens when you stop trusting your own body. Shelli shares her experience of being misdiagnosed with lupus and how that fear impacted her mindset, her health, and her daily life. We get into how fear can take over your nervous system, why so many people stay stuck in “flare-up mode,” and what it actually takes to rebuild trust in yourself again. We also talk about small, consistent actions—why they matter more than extreme changes—and how things like mindset, boundaries, and daily habits can completely shift your health and your life. This episode is about breaking fear cycles, questioning what you’ve been told, and learning how to trust yourself again. I Refused to Let Fear Define Me I was told I had lupus. And just like that, fear tried to take control—fear of symptoms, fear of the future, fear of my own body. But I didn’t accept that as my story. I leaned into what I knew about the mind, the nervous system, and the body’s ability to respond to safety—not just fear. After seeking further answers, I learned I had been misdiagnosed. But the real transformation wasn’t just in the diagnosis—it was in how I learned to work with my body instead of fearing it. Hi I'm Shelli I'm a Master Transformation Coach and Hypnotherapist.  I help women living with autoimmune conditions break free from the flare-up cycle so they can calm their body, restore their energy, and feel safe and confident in their bodies again. https://www.shelligalvan.com/ [https://www.shelligalvan.com/]

96: Mike Dillon in the hot seat

In this episode of Listen Bitch Presents: Tell Me Why You’re Special, I sit down with Mike Dillon to talk about environmental health, mold exposure, and how your home could be impacting your body more than you realize. We get into how indoor air quality, humidity levels, and modern energy-efficient homes can actually trap toxins and contribute to symptoms like fatigue, respiratory issues, and brain fog. Mike shares practical ways to start paying attention to your environment without going broke trying to “fix everything.” We also talk about why a lot of these issues get overlooked in traditional health conversations—and what you can actually do to start protecting your space and your health. This episode is about awareness, responsibility, and realizing your environment plays a bigger role than most people want to admit. Mike Dillon's work focuses on the real‑world conditions people actually live in: humidity, air stagnation, mold exposure, and the unseen contaminants that quietly impact millions of Americans. Known for his ability to translate complex environmental science into practical, accessible solutions, Dillon has become a trusted voice for families seeking to take control of the air they breathe. Under his leadership, AirWaterHealing has emerged as a standout innovator in the wellness space, most notably with the TriadAer V3, a technology designed specifically for the challenges of modern homes. Dillon’s mission-driven approach — rooted in faith, service, and firsthand experience — has resonated widely, leading to the company being featured in a high‑visibility advertisement on the Candace Owens Podcast, viewed by millions. Through his TV Show, Dillon continues to champion a simple but transformative message: when people understand what’s actually in their air and water, everything changes.                                  [https://airwaterhealing.com/]                              https://airwaterhealing.com/ [https://airwaterhealing.com/]

95: Jake April in the hot seat

In this episode of Listen Bitch Presents: Tell Me Why You’re Special, I sit down with Jake April to talk about judgment, identity, and what it really takes to stop letting other people define you. Jake opens up about being judged from a young age due to a physical disability, and how those early experiences shaped his confidence, his mindset, and his drive. We talk about the difference between proving people wrong vs. actually building a life you’re proud of—and why most people stay stuck trying to win battles that don’t matter. We also get into personal strengths, overcoming setbacks, and how to surround yourself with the right people so you can actually move forward instead of constantly defending yourself. This is a conversation about choosing purpose over perception—and finally stepping into who you are without needing permission. Jake April is a TEDx speaker and founder of POS(+) ABILITY, bringing a powerful “First Impressions” message shaped by his experience living with a physical disability—helping people move past snap judgments and take that first wobbly step forward. His talk at TEDxAmoskeagMillyard has reached hundreds of thousands. 🎤 TEDx Talk 👉 https://youtu.be/NRPO3YF3fgo [https://youtu.be/NRPO3YF3fgo] 🌐 Website 👉 https://jake-april.com [https://jake-april.com] 📸 Instagram 👉 https://www.instagram.com/jakeafirst_impressions [https://www.instagram.com/jakeafirst_impressions] 🎥 YouTube 👉 https://youtube.com/@jafirstimpressions [https://youtube.com/@jafirstimpressions] 🎵 TikTok 👉 https://www.tiktok.com/@jakeafirstimpressions [https://www.tiktok.com/@jakeafirstimpressions] 💼 LinkedIn 👉 https://www.linkedin.com/in/jake-april-269b54147 [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jake-april-269b54147] 🐦 X (Twitter) 👉 https://twitter.com/jakeapril1 [https://twitter.com/jakeapril1]

94: Arusyak Abrahamyan in the hot seat

In this episode of Listen Bitch Presents: Tell Me Why You’re Special, I sit down with family law attorney Arusyak Abrahamyan to talk about the conversations most couples avoid—money, prenups, and what actually destroys marriages. We get into the reality of financial conflict in relationships, why emotional attachment to money leads to bad decisions, and how a lack of communication can quietly build toward divorce. Arusyak breaks down why prenups aren’t about planning for failure—they’re about protection, clarity, and responsibility. We also talk about how culture, upbringing, and personal identity shape how people view money, and why couples need to get honest about expectations before they build a life together. If you’re in a relationship, building a business, or planning a future with someone… this is the conversation you should probably be having but aren’t. I’m a California family law attorney and litigator with over a decade of courtroom experience in high-conflict and high-asset cases. I’ve represented entrepreneurs, professionals, and financially sophisticated individuals through complex divorces, business valuations, custody battles, and asset disputes. Years in the courtroom changed how I see marriage. I’ve witnessed how financial silence, unclear expectations, and unmanaged conflict can quietly erode even strong relationships. That experience shaped my passion for prenuptial strategy — not from a place of fear, but from a place of clarity, protection, and empowerment. I believe a well-designed prenup is not about planning for divorce. It’s about maturity. It’s about transparency. It’s about protecting love from avoidable financial chaos. On podcasts, I bring: -Real stories from the courtroom (without compromising confidentiality) -Insight into how smart, successful people unintentionally create risk -Strategic guidance for entrepreneurs and high earners entering marriage -A nuanced perspective on women, wealth, and power in relationships -Practical advice on how to have difficult financial conversations with grace Beyond law, I am also the founder of a wellness and longevity brand (Ivy En Rose, Eternia). Building businesses while raising my daughter has deepened my understanding of partnership dynamics, asset protection, and what it means to build something worth protecting. Podcast Topics Why prenups are an act of love, not pessimism Protecting business owners before marriage Financial compatibility and relationship longevity The psychology of divorce litigation Women, ambition, and financial independence in marriage How high-conflict divorces actually unfold Designing agreements that prevent future courtroom battles I speak with warmth, precision, and honesty. I’m comfortable discussing both the legal mechanics and the emotional undercurrents of marriage and divorce — and I aim to leave audiences more informed, empowered, and prepared. https://bayarealawgroup.com/ [https://bayarealawgroup.com/]
