Deb helped me navigate cancer while continuing to run my business.
When I was diagnosed with cancer in 2024, one of the first things I did was reach out to Deb for support. Cancer is overwhelming—you don’t always know which questions to ask, which doctors to push for, or how to balance treatment while still running a business.
Deb was calming, inspirational, and steady at a time when my mind could easily have spun out. She helped me keep my head on straight while navigating daily treatments and the demands of leadership.
Her guidance and hard-earned experience didn’t just make the journey tolerable—it gave me genuine hope. A year later I’m grateful to say I received a cancer-free diagnosis, and I know Deb is someone I can turn to whenever I need clarity, calm, and perspective.
I recommend her and her work without hesitation. ~ Brian B.
