Blog Interviews with Debbie

"Debbie is brave and vulnerable – and a way-shower for those of us who are seekers and hope to be finders of the Truth." 


Huge thanks to the amazing Diane Gottlieb for this wonderful opportunity to chat about the midlife experience, family dynamics, and how I transitioned to rural living.

Podcast and Radio Interviews

Host Dan Manley was a super nice guy and a great interviewer! He read the entire book and was intrigued by the story. Also, one of the "narcotics farms" was located in the area at one time.  


I was so happy to have a chance to chat with Shelley about the book, my dogs, and my transition to full time writer!





Kathryn's guests have included Brene Brown, Joan Lunden, Mariel Hemmingway and Wendy Williams!


I was honored to have the opportunity to talk with her about the themes in Crossing Fifty-One.

Lizbeth is a fellow memoirist who has done great things with her life story! She always has wonderful guests and I was honored to be one of them!





Maria Leonard Olsen wrote a fantastic memoir entitled 50 After 50. She is a fierce champion of the idea that it's never too late to redefine yourself and be the best version of you. We talked about my drastic life change from government lawyer to starving artist! Click on the image to listen.
