MY STORY
My passion for serving others was born from a childhood of constant change. Growing up, I moved across the country and lived in Europe and Asia, never staying anywhere long. Transitions were tough—always the new kid, navigating new languages, cultures, and relationships. I became a chameleon, adapting so well I lost myself in the process.
That skill followed me into adulthood as I searched for belonging and acceptance. Looking back, I wonder how a mentor or coach might have changed my path with simple wisdom like, “You have to love yourself before anyone else can.” I didn’t even know who I was, let alone how to care for myself. That realization sparked my passion for mentoring, then coaching—seeing the beauty within every person and helping them find it too.
The struggle to belong continued. At 16, I was pushed into college because high school didn’t fit. So, I created my own family—married at 18, a mother by 19—thinking it would guarantee acceptance. It didn’t. I’d built a family, but I still felt lost. My real goal should’ve been discovering my authentic self to find love, peace, and self-acceptance.
Happily ever after wasn’t in that chapter. But surviving spousal abuse and a near-death experience launched me into living with joy every day. My first baby girl taught me unconditional love; single motherhood taught me perseverance and hope; and life’s trials built my strength and resilience. Familial addiction, abuse, mental health challenges, and the loss of a child became part of my story. Yet, finding light, hope, and courage amid adversity shaped the skills I now share with every life I touch—personally and professionally. It’s never too late to choose a life without regret.
That’s why I created Peace & Clarity—for you. It’s my privilege to walk beside you until you’re running toward peace, purpose, and passion on your own. I’ll listen to your story, support your goals, and stand by you as you uncover your purpose.
What are you waiting for? Let’s start this journey together. You can do this!
With Peace, Love, & Joy,
Debbi
