About

Ignited to thrive beyond your wounds. 🔥

For such a time as this, God has called you to fan into flames the spiritual gift He has given you, embrace your influence, and live God-expectant, a God-ready woman!

My passion is to partner with you in Christ-centered transformation. The transformation that ignites the desire for forward movement, authentic living, and courage to go boldly into the impact you were created and designed to have.

You CAN achieve ~

  • freedom from the lies of shame, fear, and other self-defeating beliefs
  • certainty and boldness in setting and maintaining healthy boundaries
  • renewed hope, vision, and attainment of goals
  • serenity amid the busyness, stress, and chaos of life
  • confidence and courage to go boldly where God calls you
  • transformation of the wounds that bind you


I am an author, coach, virtual community host, and retreat leader ~ website

  • “In her transparent style, Deb shares her struggles with perfectionism, loneliness, addiction, control, and more.  She understands well why God never intended us to travel the path of transformation alone.”
  • My book, Choose to THRIVE: Conquering Your Inner Conflicts, is available at this Amazon link. Related free materials are available here –author page.
  • The virtual community, Influence Multiplied, serves pastors’ wives, women called to lead, and women in long-term recovery.  –  with relative individual challenges, at our core, we share commonalities in our struggles. The community is private and safe – by design, not on social media.


Personal Notes ~

  • A personal note about leadership:
    Seems I would always find myself in yet another leadership role. I always enjoy the thrill!
    However, my “jump into action” and self-assurance often left me overloaded, unsatisfied, and downright frustrated. I was good at hiding behind the shield of getting things done and my unintentionally intimidating style. I felt like a jack of all trades and a master at none. I often thought, “Why does God think I can handle so much?” Discovering my Type 8 answered a lot of questions! Leaning into my Type 8 relieved a ton of pressure.Hiding my vulnerabilities kept me stuck as a leader. Keeping a “safe distance” stifled my ability to thrive.  It took years to embrace who God created me to be. I hope you find encouragement in my vulnerability.  I love helping women gain clarity and freedom in their struggles, know the woman God created them to be, and own the influence He made and designed them to have. Your story matters.

“Leadership is influence.” ~ John Maxwell

Who knows? Maybe you were made queen for just such a time as this. ~ Esther 4:14 (MSG)

  • A personal note about the Enneagram:
    I believe the Enneagram is a fantastic tool for soul growth and care.  I learned the long way (not a typo); it is a tool of tremendous benefits.  For this to be true, however, it requires the willingness to “dig deeper.”
    It took me quite a while to accept my Enneagram type.  I prayed and researched books, podcasts, and websites, seeking my ‘true’ Enneagram type. Why?  The truth is, I was not too fond of what I discovered.
    Thankfully, the tool holds no power.  All the power resides through Jesus in me (and you). I am grateful that the Holy Spirit uses this tool to bring forth necessary insights for life-changing transformation.  I am thankful to see myself, my sins more clearly, and the beautiful woman God created in me!

This, too, I share to encourage you.  Sometimes, we try to avoid what we need to see.  Oh, but thankfully, God has bigger plans than we can fathom!

God sticks his head out of heaven. He looks around. He’s looking for someone … God-expectant, just one God-ready woman. ~ Psalm 53:2 (MSG)


Experiences and Family ~

  • Deb has 20+ years of experience in ministry leadership and 30 years in corporate leadership. She has served in multiple officer roles for non-profit state-wide and international boards. She serves on the leadership team for her local Celebrate Recovery Ministry and home church.
  • Deb is an avid walker and mountain hiker. She is grateful to have reached the summit of 2 of Colorado’s 14ers.  She and her husband have five children, 11 grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.  She enjoys hiking and snow skiing and spending time with her grandchildren.  She has one very spoiled Lagotto Romagnolo named Summit.


One more personal note:

May I also encourage you that it’s never too late to try?  My husband and I didn’t begin avid hiking and skiing until our 60s.  Yes, really.  Whatever that dream is, bring God your willingness.

Ignite & Thrive!  Fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you … God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity but of power, love, and self-discipline. ~ 2 Timothy 1:6-7 (NLT)

Reviews:

* Client – Debbie is very gifted as a coach. She has helped me gain clarity and progress to release the struggles I’ve carried around for so long.

* Professional Partner – Debbie has this grab your hand, ‘I’ve-been-there’ manner that invites and calms the female independent nature.  Her fervor and love for the woman suffering in this role is genuine and life-changing.

* Retreat Participant – Thank you, Debbie, for the recent ‘One Thing Leads to Another’ retreat! You provided a rare opportunity for me to step off life’s “treadmill” and join other like-minded women on a uniquely nurturing and healing spiritual adventure. I loved it!

* Amazon Reviewer – After reading Choose to Thrive’s introduction, I was convinced this book was not for me. I do not consider myself a high-achieving woman. However, the trait of finishing what I started propelled me to finish reading the book. I was pleasantly surprised that almost every chapter struck a chord in my heart and had points I could identify personally with. Chapters filled with direct, easy-to-read, and to-the-point communication provided insight that I could relate to, and the summary points at the end of each chapter were inspirationally challenging.
