Over a period of 4 years Debra experienced multiple losses: she lost her 21 year old son; her baby girl in the 8th month of pregnancy; both brothers; and her father. The loss experienced during this time was life-altering and illuminated a path forward that Debra never saw coming.

By sharing experiences in and around courage, we have the opportunity to make a powerful difference in our lives. Debra lives in Laguna Beach California with her husband and best friend, Cody.
