Debbi epitomizes passion, so it’s no surprise that she is an absolute sensation at what she does as a life and passion coach. I met her when she was a spunky, go-getter realtor in her early thirties, I was wowed by her entrepreneurial ways in her forties, by the creation of her own brand, and I am continually impressed by her giving and inspiring nature in her fifties, helping instill confidence and fuel that belly fire in all of her clients. Debbi is one of the reasons, if not the most major one, that my novel is in print and in the hands of friends, family, strangers-turned-friends, and a readership (and even fan base!) that I could only have dreamed of. She had me on weekly Zoom meetings with her, assigning me homework (e.g., start a Facebook group, put the last touches on my manuscript), asking me, “What are you waiting for?” Then when I finally decided to stop waiting, she went beyond her call of duty and hosted two of my first book readings in the Bay Area. And she did it all with her signature wide smile, her comfy-cozy and stylish pullovers and beanie, her easygoing yet tough, uncompromising demeanor, her social media savvy, her unparalleled knowledge of a wide range of industries, and her gigantic heart. Hire this woman! Or just be her friend! She will fill you with light and love and passion like you’ve never seen before.

I was introduced to Debbi a little over a year ago, after my sister had suddenly passed away earlier that year. Before meeting Debbi. I had come across a company that intrigued me. Upon realizing I wanted to get involved, I knew I needed a plan. That’s when Debbi came into my life to help me with this process. Once Debbi and I had our first meeting over Zoom, I immediately knew she was my new social media coach, as well as a part of my circle. Debbi began to put a plan in motion and set goals for me to achieve along the way. Over a year later, Debbi has brought me out of my comfort zone and given me a voice to ask for what I want. With her help, guidance, and support, I now have more than 11,000 followers on social media. I am also the official brand ambassador for Young Goat, which was the company that brought us together. I have met so many amazing people through all of this, from all over the world people I am now lucky enough to call friends. As the brand ambassador for Young Goat, I am now booking speaking engagements to share my stories about grief, loss, mental health, and involvement with Young Goat, who will also be joining in on these talks via satellite from London. I never would have believed I do any of this, and I know I certainly couldn’t be where I am today without Debbi giving me a voice, a purpose, and her unconditional support.  I know this is not the end of my story__ it’s just the beginning. I am excited to see what other goals Debbi will set for me to achieve. I know I will continue to grow under her leadership. I always say she is a force of nature and I am beyond grateful for everything she has taught me and done for me.
