MEET DEB
I'm not here to tell you how to live your life. I'm here to challenge you to stop putting it on hold.
For more than 30 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with people from all walks of life. As a personal trainer, business owner and, for a time, a journalist, I’ve seen one thing over and over again: people put their lives on hold waiting for the perfect time to start.
Waiting until Monday.
Waiting until they had more confidence.
Waiting until life slowed down.
Waiting until everything felt “right.”
Here’s what I’ve learned. Perfect never arrives.
In 2017, life tested me too. Two brain bleeds stole my speech and movement overnight. Recovery wasn’t about one giant leap, it was about taking the next step, and then the next one after that.
That experience didn’t change what I believed. It proved it.
I’m 62, have been married to my husband for 40 years, have two incredible children, wonderful partners who have become part of our family, one cheeky grandson and a beautiful granddaughter joining us soon. Life has given me plenty to be grateful for.
It’s also taught me that every single day is a gift and wasting it waiting isn’t an option.
That’s why I wrote the Wake the F UP series.
Not to motivate you. Not to preach to you. Not to promise to change your life. I wrote these books to remind you that you have the power to change your own life.
One decision. One step. One percent at a time.
So, if you’re waiting for the perfect moment. This is it. Stop waiting. Start moving. Show up for your life.
Because…
MOVEMENT IS LIFE.
