On Second Thought... Maybe I Can is the story of a chubby, insecure, and scared little girl who spent her life doing what was expected of her and taking care of everyone but herself.

When Debbie turned 50, she had an epiphany that changed her life: "On Second Thought... Maybe I Can." She realized she had the power to transform her life all along, she just didn't know it. Debbie's journey shows us it's never too late to pursue the life you want.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"I really want to encourage you to read her book. It's really delightlyfully written. It made me smile a lot and it will teach you a lot of lessons and inspire and motivate you to tackle the things that are stopping you from getting where you want to go." - Jack Canfield, co-author of Chicken Soup for the Soul series

"On Second Thought...Maybe I Can! by Debbie Weiss is an uplifting memoir that teaches how anyone at any age can change and improve their life. Debbie had always given up too easily because of fear. She was obsessed over what other people may have thought about her. She hated to go outside her comfort zone. Debbie was riddled with negative self-talk in her head. She was always the chubby/fat girl who felt entirely out of place. Debbie had a negative body image and felt deep shame and embarrassment about her body. At five years old, she was so excited about her dream of becoming a dancer, but when she saw all the skinny little girls, she felt self-conscious and ran out. This was to become the pattern throughout her life.

Debbie Weiss shares her life with self-deprecating humor and raw honesty to help inspire others to step outside their comfort zones. She teaches that anyone can take control of their power and do what they have always wanted. Debbie teaches by example with her life and is not afraid to share even her most shameful, darkest secret. Readers share in her triumphs as she embarks on a new journey of self-discovery and self-improvement to actual tangible actions that have us applauding and cheering her on. On Second Thought...Maybe I Can! proves you can reach for your dreams at any age and surprise yourself at what you can accomplish when you believe in yourself!" - Reviewed by Christine Nguyen for Readers' Favorite

"On Second thought... Maybe I Can! by Debbie Weiss brings readers up close and personal into the author's life as an overweight child who lacked confidence and was often afraid. She grew up bowing to everyone else, doing what they wanted. She was so busy caring for others that she never had time for her goals and dreams. She couldn't get in touch with her wants and needs. She eventually realized that she had to do something to improve her life and how she thought about herself. Her reasons for continuing as an unhappy person weren't working anymore. It took turning fifty to break through the wall of resistance she had built over time, thanks to her chaotic childhood. Once she claimed power and freedom, it was game over for her old life. Like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, she could do something all along.

Weiss's writing is personal and inviting, drawing you into some scenarios that most of us can relate to, or at least know about, from the stories of others who have gone through them. Even through an unhappy childhood and relentless teasing at school, a battle with weight and self-image, and navigating life's ups and downs, including relationships and work, her lessons can help us to realize we still have time to live the life we want and need. As a former social worker, I appreciate her points on how she went from being a victim to an overcomer. On Second Thought...Maybe I Can! by Debbie Weiss will resonate with readers and help them feel they aren't the only ones going through issues like widowhood and caregiving. Even though the book covers some heavy life topics, it isn't a downer. It's uplifting and inspirational. It's the book you need to propel yourself to the next level. Your search stops here if you're looking for a self-help book that can motivate you." - Reviewed by Tammy Ruggles for Readers' Favorite

"On Second Thought...Maybe I Can! by Debbie Weiss is a memoir that spans from the day she was born to her present-day work as a successful entrepreneur, podcaster, and author. She shares moments of her life that turned out to be powerful events that pushed her to achieve a lot and served as her source of lessons and insights. She realized that making cherished dreams come true and living a full life starts with a conscious choice and the courage to go beyond the mindset you were raised with. She makes herself an example to inspire and teach readers how to overcome limiting beliefs and circumstances that propel them to develop the victim complex, be honest with themselves, and listen to the little "whispers" in their heads, especially when they say something sensible. With her guidance, she shows us that there is always enough joy to start the life that you want, even if you're already 50 or older, but armed with a new perspective that can help you continue living the best way that you possibly can, without being saddled with regrets.

On Second Thought...Maybe I Can! is an inspiring recollection of someone who, like the rest of us, goes through her share of life's ups and downs. Debbie Weiss' simple writing is relatable, and her occasional tongue-in-cheek and reflective comments on her imperfections certainly give a human touch to the narrative. What is remarkable about the author is her silver lining approach to the challenges and heartbreaks of her life, whether it's a family problem or a more personal issue of managing her weight. More often than not, she is resilient enough to work with whatever trickle of light shows up to help her get back on track during the dark moments. Each of them was a stepping stone for the author when it came to finally appreciating and focusing on the things she is passionate about and living the life she truly wanted. She is a reality-bound and hopeful soul who knows the power of using one's own volition as you unshackle yourself from the influence of a predetermined and unhappy past that changed an I Can't Attitude to being an I Can Attitude! And for her, it's never too late to make a fresh start and live a fulfilling, purpose-driven existence. Highly recommended for those who need guidance, support, and affirmation when seeking a change or purpose in life but who lack the confidence and self-esteem to start it. Let Debbie Weiss illuminate the way." - Reviewed by Carmen Tenorio for Readers' Favorite

Debbie Weiss honesty and candor are both thought provoking and inspirational. This memoir is so relatable to me being a caretaker myself to my children and then Mother. There are so many lessons to be learned from this book. My takeaway is to always remember who you were and not to lose your dreams and identity when taking care of others. Thank you Debbie for giving me the power to care for myself and plan my future in my own way and time. book and

Weiss has written a compelling memoir filled with humor and grace. She inspires the reader to change their mindset and get on with the task of living deeply. Fear, heartache and insecurity are all emotions we go through. Weiss shows that it's the style with which we go through them that changes us. Weiss has a special way of connecting with the reader through her words. I highly recommend this book, and hope she writes more.

The book was very relatable and inspiring! Debbie Weiss reinforces that age is just a number...you are never too old to go after a dream. It was a good reminder that your thoughts can hold you back or move you forward, so choose to move forward (like Debbie).

3.0 out of 5 stars A little disappointed. Giving it 3.5 stars
Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2024
I was a little bit disappointed because I thought it would be more like sharing her story and then intertwined with her story more specific details about setting goals for better health (e.g., losing weight, etc.) for myself, almost like a workbook. I do commend her for sharing her personal story to help others in their journey. Opening up one's life to the world is opening up for unwanted criticism.

The stories in this book are such an inspiration. I love how Debbie uses her stories to remind us that we are all capable of so much more than we think we are, and that life is truly one big blessing after another, even when it doesn’t feel that way at the time. My heart is so much more open, grateful and excited after reading this book. Looking forward to exploring my own limitless possibilities.
Thanks for shining your light, Debbie! <3
