Deborah is a former pharmaceutical rep turned life coach. Her story begins on a New York City subway platform, a moment that sparked a profound change in her life. After years of pushing herself to be number one, she found herself trapped in a cycle of negativity, exhaustion, and fear. It was a wake-up call that led her to realize, 'Nothing will change unless I change.'

So Deborah sought out change. She learned to live in the present and focus on what really matters—her loved ones, her health, and the little joys of life—in order to cultivate a more fulfilling existence.

Deborah's journey is a testament to the fact that we all have the capacity to change our lives for the better. By embracing positivity, practicing self-awareness, and taking baby steps towards our goals, we can create a life filled with joy and meaning.

Tune in to learn how you can break free from negativity and embrace a more positive, fulfilling life.

Christine V. Davies has a Master of Divinity degree from Princeton Theological Seminary and a Master of Social Work degree from Rutgers University. With over two decades of experience as a hospital chaplain, pastoral educator, cognitive behavioral therapist and healthcare administrator, Christine offers "spiritual direction"

What is spiritual direction? From Christine:

Some of my clients are clergy, others would never set foot in a house of worship. It is not about being religious, or even believing in God. It is about getting in touch with your spiritual side, whatever that looks like for you. You might be well established in a faith tradition or wondering how to bring more mindfulness in your everyday life. Spiritual Direction meets you wherever you are and we go from there!

This conversation examines the role of spirituality connection vs religion; the impact of grief throughout our lives; and the interplay of life and death that can positively impact on our quality and understanding of our time here on Earth.

This episode is a reminder of the importance of spiritual care, and the connection we all seek.
