In this episode, we sit down with our friend Deb — yes, that Deb, one of the top 100 most loved accordion players in the world — but this isn’t a story about music. Not yet.

Deb shares a deeply personal and, at times, painful journey: from a violent encounter with police to a serious fall that led to unexpected medical discoveries. Along the way, she talks openly about the uphill battle of navigating a healthcare system that’s stretched too thin — and how being prescribed opioids turned her from a patient into a suspect in the eyes of many doctors.

It’s a tough conversation, but an important one — honest, raw, and full of moments that’ll make shake your head in disbelief.

In part two, we’ll get into the joy, weirdness, and wild stories of her accordion career. But for now, this is Deb’s story of resilience — and a system that needs to do better.

Ever notice how some people just have to be in charge—even when no one asked them to be? In this episode, we dig into the messy world of control.

We also chat about some wild scams that caught our eye lately, then take a detour to the local rodeo for a bit of dust, chaos, and community flavor.

To wrap things up, we shift gears with some easy music talk—highlighting bold artists doing what it takes to stay true to their art in a noisy world.

A little sharp, a little chill, and a lot to think about.

This episode is a celebration of moms—their strength, their humor, and all the little moments that make motherhood what it is.
