Healing the Hustle: Debra Rizzi on Imposter Syndrome, Resilience, & Treating Yourself Like a Client

This week on the Today is the Day Changemakers Podcast, I had the absolute joy of sitting down with the amazing Debra Rizzi — award-winning entrepreneur, mentor, breast cancer survivor, and all-around inspiration. She’s also the President and Co-Founder of Rizco, a woman-owned business delivering brand-led marketing that is designed to matter.

Our conversation felt more like two friends over coffee than a podcast interview — filled with laughter, honesty, and real talk. Together we opened up about how imposter syndrome still shows up, no matter how many accolades line the shelves, and what it means to keep moving forward even when that inner voice whispers “not enough.”

Deb shared her powerful journey of resilience through breast cancer, the importance of treating yourself like a client, and how choosing to rise — even when life knocks you down — is the ultimate form of strength.

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt the weight of doubt despite their accomplishments, carried the quiet battle of imposter syndrome, or wondered if resilience could carry them through their hardest seasons.

The truth is this: when you hustle for everyone else — your job, your family, your responsibilities — you run yourself empty. Energy drains. Health suffers. Joy disappears. Healing the Hustle isn’t optional, it’s essential. Today is the Day to step off cruise control and choose living over existing — because if you don’t, life may pass you by before you ever realize you didn’t live it fully.

And here’s a little hint to listen closely at the end of this conversation 👀 — Deb is part of something exciting coming soon that brings together 30 voices from around the world. You won’t want to miss it.
