Episode Description
Grief - an emotion that affects us all but add sudden trauma to it and you have The Perfect Storm. What do three women, of different backgrounds, ages, and living across the US, find they have in common? A sudden death threw them into the "Widows Group"; Betrayal threw them into the "Last one to know" group, and raising a family on their own threw them into the "Single Moms" group. These women didn't ASK to be in any of those groups yet they found themselves putting up the mask and smiling their way through the initiations. Something inside of them decided to STAND UP and then SPEAK UP and then they because THE VOICE of their causes. Strong minds, strong wills, and strong inner fortitude trump their fears, feelings of inadequacies, and hurt hearts. Throwing down their need for "Perfect", they have embraced life's curve balls with vulnerability, grace and honesty. Debby, Karen and Ashlee will share with courage their DEFINING MOMENTS and will change their worlds for good.
Defining Moments

Many of us have something, something we’re hiding, something we’re ashamed of, something that through no fault of our own or through our own making, something that we keep hidden and that, in turn, keeps us hidden, from each other and the world. Defining Moments will show you how to STAND UP in your power and no longer experience the terrible feeling of being a victim of fraud or betrayal. Good people go through terrible situations, wise people know when and how to let it go. Everything that happens to us helps us grow. While it may be hard to see it right away, the most important thing to do is to change your perception about your circumstances! Debby is dedicated to encouraging you to remove the mask of embarrassment and shame and to putting an end to victimization. Debby will help you STAND UP and become the victor not the victim. You will learn how to acknowledge what happened and forgive yourself first and then move on with power.
