Who is Debbie?
“I realized early in raising my children I needed to change the “legacy of the past” – those parenting philosophies handed down from previous generations. I didn’t discover until much later what I didn’t know affected the way I parented my children and who I was “being” as a mom. If moms knew now what we discover in mid-life, what a difference it would make our own life and the life of our children…” ~ Debbie Franklin
I knew very early in my life I was born to be a mom. I anticipated it throughout my younger years. I always tuned in to things for moms: tips for child rearing; ideas about home making; creating the best environment to raise happy and healthy children, nurturing and growing my marriage, and my own personal development to achieve my highest potential. During my own personal journey through motherhood, I’ve developed systems which include the most important things to me and my family.
I am a successful entrepreneur, mother of three and a city girl who migrated to rural America where I married my country sweetheart 25 years ago. We live on a small farm with our pedigreed line of English Cream Golden Retrievers (Wisteria Goldens), two cats and cattle. Yes, cattle! Because I’ve lived in both city and country communities, I’ve been exposed to a broad range of challenges which helped me to unfold the skills to provide a unique perspective for all life stages of motherhood.
I was fortunate to be a stay-at-home mom while raising my family, and even homeschooled my children for ten of those years. I was very active in the local home school co-op and in my children’s extra-curricular activities.
My children had the grace and wisdom to grow up into amazing young adults, move out and begin taking responsibility for their own lives. I didn’t find going through the Empty Nest transition fun at all, but now my children have succeeded and blessed me with three wonderful grandsons!
My Mission and Vision for Mom’s
My Mission…is “To Inspire Moms, to Change the World” by empowering you to have a relationship with yourself, so you can provide a harmonious home for your family – Mastering the Art of Being A Mom!
I understand the role of being a mom and how you are the “heart of your family.” Being a mom is an amazing journey and sometimes a rollercoaster of emotion as you find yourself:
- Being full of wonder watching your children grow and develop into their own person
- Taking on their heart-ache as you watch them hurt and make mistakes
- Frustrated that you cannot wave a magic want and make everything okay
And even through all the craziness, the ups and downs and everything in-between there is always that joy and pride in your children are as unique individuals that you have brought into this world. Motherhood is truly life changing and you need support to navigate this life-time relationship of mother and child — an eternal bond of love!
With this knowledge and years of experience, I’ve truly developed family management strategies that help support the greater good of the family unit and yes “mom” that includes you.
The Rest of My Story…
There is no way to be a perfect mother, and a million ways to be a good one.~.Jill Churchill
Being a stay-at-home mom, as well as a forward planner, I began developing a strategy for my own life, anticipating my fast approaching empty nest. Fulfilling my life strategy, I attended college, and earned my degree in Accounting. Embracing my college experience, I also served a two-year term as President of Phi Theta Kappa, an International Honor Society.
Although I made plans for the time when my children would leave, Empty Nest still hit me hard and becoming an Accountant wasn’t enough for me to fill in the gaps my children left. I had overcome many obstacles and challenges of my past through traditional counseling, so I began to work with my own life coach for personal development. This is when I found my passion in helping moms discover who they are and how they can become the BEST mom they could be.
I’ve met many moms who have “regrets” of what they wished they would have done differently, and how, if they’d had more information when their children were younger, it would’ve meant so much to their own lives and the lives of their children.
Discovering who you are while raising your children will allow you to build a foundation to create the life you want and from that place, you become the “best” mom (woman) you can be. I truly want to help moms create their “best life.”
That’s why I’ve invested in myself and in coaching programs that can help me be the best mom, and overall person, that I can be and pass that knowledge on to you. You’ll find products, programs and solutions to help you be the best mom possible and design a lifestyle that works for your entire family.
