In this episode of How to Get Ahead with Millennial Life Coaches, host Tanya Lleigh, co-founder of Coach Core, sits down with Debra Leigh Bryant, transformational coach, author, and founder of Creating Ripple Effects, for a powerful conversation about authentic alignment, self-discovery, subconscious patterns, and the courage it takes to make life-changing decisions. Debra shares her personal journey of leaving a 32-year marriage, stepping away from a 23-year corporate career, writing her book Ripple Effect: A Mother’s Journey, and discovering the deep inner work that helped her reconnect with her authentic self. Her book explores family relationships, spirituality, healing, loss, and how her adult children’s lives shaped her own path as a mother. Together, Tanya and Debra explore what it means to live in alignment — not just with your goals, but with your mind, heart, gut, and deeper sense of self. Debra also discusses her work as a life coach, including how she helps clients uncover the answers within themselves while creating an outcome-oriented path toward personal development, relationships, career advancement, and spiritual growth.
