Something for everyone!

I recently found debra and her podcast when she was a guest on another podcast, and had to check her out. I love the variety of topics she explores, and the easy conversational nature of the episodes. I just loved the one with Janice Goldmintz… as I am in that “sandwich” generation - so helpful!

The Episode On Communication With Karen Is TERRIFIC!

Every episode of Debra’s is worth a listen. The one with Karen Laos on Communication though is a skip to the front of the queue.
Everytime I start to say (or write) I think or If, I have to stop and reword. :-)
Such actionable take-aways that really make a huge difference.
Thank you, Debra!
