In her coaching practice, Debbie is a guide for values-focused humans ready to disrupt their personal norms.

Beyond her biz, Debbie is a proud mom to two grown children and two rescued fur-babies. Nature, travel, and live music are her happy places, especially when they come together. Debbie's belief in the power of community is the driving force behind her podcast and community—providing comfort and connection in our often chaotic world. Because, in Debbie's view, embracing our similarities and collaborating as a collective offers the best chance for us all thriving in this crazy world.

December 13, 2023 Ep. 103 Beyond the Surface: Trauma, Eating Disorders, and Body Image with Stephenie Farrell
For decades, Stephenie never knew who she was. She grew up in a home with addiction and abuse, and since birth, her mother struggled to figure out Stephenie’s unexpected weight gain. This sowed the seeds for Stephenie’s focus on weight and body image. By age 11, she was anorexic, and eating became the one thing she could control. This morphed into anorexia and bulimia and she struggled for decades until she addressed the underlying cause—trauma.
Learn about how one person landed on the hamster wheel of eating disorders and how it impacted her life and identity. Discover how she left that life behind and is prepared for triggers that put her at risk for falling back into it. Find out what she’s doing now to help others live lives free from eating disorders and how allies can help those still struggling.

Bio
As a woman who has personally experienced the pain of eating disorders, Stephenie deeply understands the unique challenges that accompany these struggles, especially for women over 40. Utilizing various approaches such as movement, mindfulness, and counseling, she provides invaluable support to women navigating these challenges throughout their 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond. Stephenie's unwavering commitment lies in raising awareness about the profound connection between trauma and eating disorders, with a particular focus on women over 40.

November 30, 2023 Ep. 101 Adapting through Dissociation to See Where It Delivers You Amid a Zero Sum Rat Race Mentality on Wall Street with Sara Roccisano
Be careful what you ask for. Sara’s friend invited her on a trip. She said she’d only go if she got laid off and the rest is history. Sara began a journey away from abuse and bad behavior caused from stress, pressure, ego, and the drive for money and accolades. Leaving sunk costs behind her, she embarked on many trips, including with psychedelics.
Hear about toxic work cultures impacting Sara’s identity and how they lead to a breaking point. About how the mighty dollar erodes quality and function. And how one woman stepped away from it all to embrace trust, surrender, and faith on a journey back to herself.

Bio
Sara Roccisano spent over 20 years working on Wall Street as an Investment Banker and in Private Equity, Corporate America, and Government as a Renewable Energy Executive. As one could imagine, she became burnt out. Her spirit was unhappy, and she craved something more fulfilling. In early 2020, she answered a spiritual call to embark on a 5-Week Adventure around the world on the heels of coronavirus plaguing her home in New York City. The journey helped her to rediscover herself. By 2022, she surrendered by quitting her career and life as she knew it and began coming back home to self.

Sara is a world-traveling, scuba-diving, spiritually transforming, International Public Speaker, Travel Storyteller, Author, and founder of Embolden Adventures. She has traveled to 42+ countries and over half of the United States from the tops of the mountains, the depths of the oceans, the mysterious megalithic, and everywhere else in between.

I’m adding a new format where I interview parents of children with catastrophic medical diagnoses. These episodes won’t focus on identity loss, but rather parents’ journeys as they navigate this specific challenge. While identity loss is still inherent in many of these stories, it won’t be the focus.
We kick off with my dad’s story. I’m number three of four kids, and throughout my early childhood, Phil, my eldest brother, was always supposed to die. He had a rare disease that caused horrific problems and he was constantly in and out of hospitals.
Hear about Dad’s experience as he navigated grief, fear, and uncertainty. What’s the one thing he and Mom did that made all the difference for Phil’s survival? Find out the core message Dad gives to others in his shoes.
