A Superwoman Handbook

Stress is real


Listen Later

In this deeply moving episode of A Superwoman Handbook, I sat down with Debbie Simmons—a powerhouse of faith, resilience, and vulnerability. A mom of nine, grandma to fifteen, and founder of the nonprofit Anchor Point, Debbie walked us through the sacred detour her heart took in the studio. What started as a planned conversation shifted into a raw and powerful testimony of grief, stress, healing, and the incredible strength it takes to trust God—even when the path is blurred by pain, trauma, or the ache of uncertainty. From infertility and loss to staph infections and shingles, Debbie shares how God continually met her at the intersection of brokenness and breakthrough.


Debbie’s story is more than inspiring—it’s a wake-up call to pause, reflect, and ask ourselves: Are we surviving… or truly thriving? Her journey reminds us that stress whispers, speaks, and eventually yells through our bodies, and unless we listen, we risk running ourselves empty. Whether you're a mother, a leader, or someone simply trying to hold it all together, this conversation is for you.
