Devoted to serving others, Debra has crafted and executed programs for schools, businesses, youth organizations, and churches. Before focusing on her career as a certified coach, author, and speaker, she founded and served as the Executive Director of a non-profit organization for single parents, led a national divorce program, and co-founded a self-esteem and empowerment summer camp for tweens and teens. This combination allows others to effortlessly trust and find comfort in her coaching and teachings.

After being a stay-at-home mom for years, Debra faced the painful experience of a blindside divorce. She unapologetically shares her emotional rollercoaster of successes and failures, both in personal and professional realms, with the intent to inspire, uplift, and others. Her mission is to impart lessons helping others escape the torment of mental anguish, ruminating thoughts and unhealthy emotions.
