The Debbie Nigro Show
From the Stage to the Soul: Robin Lloyd’s A Believer’s Perspective on Life, Legacy & Faith On the latest episode of The Debbie Nigro Show, I had the real honor of talking with Robin Lloyd—a man whose life journey reads like a Hollywood script… but with a whole lot more heart. Robin started his career as a singer, sharing stages with Marvin Gaye, Tina Turner, James Brown, The Supremes, and more. He was part of the legendary Dick Clark Caravan of Stars, toured with iconic names, and was even managed by Shelly Berger (yep, the longtime manager of The Temptations). But...

Hey friends, Debbie Nigro here—and yes, I was literally clapping for collagen on the air. I’ve officially joined the collagen revolution thanks to NativePath, and I feel GOOD about it. So good, I invited their brilliant co-founder, Dr. Chad Walding, on The Debbie Nigro Show to spill the truth about this stuff that’s got my knees, skin, hair, and even my outlook bouncing back. Here’s the scoop from our chat… Collagen Is the Missing Link According to Dr. Chad, our ancestors used to get collagen naturally from eating “nose to tail.” But today? We’re...

I did it! I took a chance, followed my gut, and launched something brand new. I told myself what I always tell you guys…Risk It! or Regret It! Introducing my brand-new short-form syndicated radio feature: “Keeping the ‘Live’ in Alive! with Debbie Nigro” Proudly sponsored by NativePath Collagen — the stuff that’s got me hiking again, baby! For the past 6 months, I’ve been secretly developing this new ‘thing’’. Figuring out what it should be, how it should sound, and who would be open enough to collaborate with me. Why this, why now? Lately, I’ve found...

Hey guys, it’s Debbie Nigro — and today, I want to introduce you to someone whose spirit will stick with you long after you finish reading this.

But it’s not just about the coconuts. It’s about "Greatitude." Not a typo.

Hey guys, Debbie Nigro here — and if you’re anything like me, you’re holding on to hope, love, and music to lift your spirits… in spite of it all. That phrase — “in spite of it all” — felt like the perfect segue into one of the most meaningful and emotional conversations I’ve had in a long time on The Debbie Nigro Show. I had the honor of welcoming the incredible Wayne Warnicke, a legendary music producer who was diagnosed with ALS in 2022, and his powerhouse of a wife, the talented and soulful Vaneese Thomas. Together, they are the heartbeat behind Musicians United...

Bourbon, badass women, and a bold new brand shaking up the spirits industry? Now that’s my kind of conversation! Especially during Women’s History Month.

And trust me, this story is as smooth and strong as the bourbon itself! A Spirit with Spirit: Inspired by Annie Oakley Molly’s inspiration? None other than the legendary Annie Oakley—the sharpshooter and symbol of female...

Hey friends! On Wellness Wednesday on The Debbie Nigro Show, as always, we covered a LOT—from climbing steps like an Italian grandma climbs hills in the mountains to the latest in fancy sneakers, and even Coca-Cola's new "healthy" soda (who knew?!). Buckle up, because here’s your full recap of this week's shenanigans, wisdom, and wellness tips. Step It Up—Like an Italian Grandmother! I kicked off the show kinda moaning (I hate moaners) about my aching leg muscles. Was feeling every single step in my legs after just visiting my daughter’s house (which, by the way, is...

Robin Lloyd’s A Believer’s Perspective on Life, Legacy & Faith
On the latest episode of The Debbie Nigro Show, I had the real honor of talking with Robin Lloyd—a man whose life journey reads like a Hollywood script… but with a whole lot more heart.
Robin started his career as a singer, sharing stages with Marvin Gaye, Tina Turner, James Brown, The Supremes, and more. He was part of the legendary Dick Clark Caravan of Stars, toured with iconic names, and was even managed by Shelly Berger (yep, the longtime manager of The Temptations).
But fame wasn’t enough.
After a moment of soul-searching (and realizing money doesn’t buy peace), Robin walked away from music and built a new life—literally. He became a celebrated minority homebuilder, landing on the cover of Builder Architect Magazine. Then, life threw another curveball: a traumatic car accident that left him fighting for his life and re-learning to walk and talk.
Out of that pain came purpose.
During his recovery, Robin began writing reflections—snippets of wisdom and gratitude—which eventually became his new book, A Believer’s Perspective.
With the encouragement of our mutual longtime friend Paul Lambert, and the help of my favorite book coach Donna Kozik, Robin's dream book became a reality.
His book is about hope, perspective, and divine connection.
“Everybody has a perspective,” Robin said on the show. “I just decided to share mine.”
Tune in to this podcast of our live conversation on The Debbie Nigro Show and hear his incredible story, his time with greatness, his lessons from loss—and why believing is the most powerful thing we can do.
