Debbie’s Vision for Moms
“My intent is to inspire women by providing information and resources to moms – new moms, working moms, empty nest moms or in-between moms to help them create their best life plan … which will ultimately bless their children and family.”
Debbie is the founder of “Born to be a Mom”. As a young mom, she learned the importance of reaching deep within yourself to find out who you are, so that you can create a plan for YOUR life that will help you raise a family based on your morals and beliefs. What works for one family, may not work for another. Debbie is here to provide resources and information to help you in finding solutions that work for parenting your children and raising your family. She is not here to tell you what is best for you or your children, but to guide and help you to define and achieve your own life plan.
Debbie’s Journey
Debbie, a successful entrepreneur, dynamic mother of three and a city girl, migrated to rural America where she married her country sweetheart 25 years ago. They now live on a small farm with their numerous English Cream Golden Retrievers (Wisteria Goldens), two cats and cattle. Having lived in both metropolitan and rural communities, Debbie has been exposed to a broad range of challenges which make her uniquely qualified to provide expert coaching for all life stages of motherhood.
Debbie was fortunate to be a stay-at-home mom while raising her family. She took an untraditional approach to education when she homeschooled her children for 10 years while she remained active in the local home school co-op and in her children’s extra-curricular activities.
As a stay-at-home mom and forward thinker, Debbie began developing a strategy for her own life in anticipation of a time when her children were no longer at home. Her life strategy consisted of attending college where she earned a degree in Accounting. While in college, she served a two-year term as president of Phi Theta Kappa, an International Honor Society.
Debbie is a dedicated and highly motivated mom who likes to do things “her own way.” She understands the pressures that well meaning family and friends can put on a mother:
Others thought she should work instead of being at home
Others thought she should keep her children in public school
Others thought she didn’t need to go to college
Others thought she didn’t need to raise her children differently than she did
But, others were wrong!
“Being home was the best thing for MY family! Homeschooling my children and the choices we made were the best for MY family! Going to college when I did was the best thing for ME for many reasons other than just getting a degree. We have the BEST relationship with our children and their spouses! We did what was best for US – despite what others thought!”
Her home became an Empty Nest when her children had the audacity to grow up into amazing young adults, move out and begin taking responsibility for their own lives. And now her children have blessed her with three wonderful grandsons!
Debbie Discovers a New Passion
Although Debbie made plans for the time when her children would leave, Empty Nest still hit her hard and becoming an Accountant was not enough for her at this stage in her life. She had overcome many obstacles and challenges of her past through traditional counseling, but began working with her own life coach for personal development. This is when Debbie found her passion in helping moms discover who they are and how they can become the BEST mom they could be.
Being at this stage of her life, Debbie met many moms that had “regrets” of what they wished they would have done differently and how if they would have had that information when their children were younger how much that would have meant to their own lives and the lives of their children.
Debbie coached family, friends, and friends of friends and transformed into The Generation Mom Coach™ for all moms as she listens, shares, and provides resources to inspire moms to be who they are – not who others think they should be.
Raising children can be an amazing journey. Discovering who you are will allow you to instill positive parenting into your life plan that will provide your children with the confidence they need to grow and thrive when they are out on their own. Debbie truly wants to help moms create their “best life.”
From organizing/planning, life-coaching and self-care to building businesses, Debbie is committed to learning and gathering information to share with others. Her passion and inspiration to help moms discover who they are and to create a life plan that is best for their family is what inspired Debbie to create “Born to be a Mom”.
