We bring our energy to each situation. It's up to us to be courageous and choose to notice our habits and if we are happy with them. When we consciously choose what we do we can make change. When we do something for another change doesn't last. This discussion, stories, and even more questions are posted as Jessica Dewell and Debra Oakland explore a lot of aspects of breaking out of being set in our ways.

She is the founder of Living in Courage Online – A Spiritual Oasis for Overcoming Life’s Biggest Challenges. Debra believes we all have a story to share, and a voice that’s begging to be heard. In the span of four short years, Debra lost her 21-year old son, her baby girl in the 8th month of pregnancy and both brothers. Not long after, her father to prostate cancer. This was an incredibly difficult time.

Debra’s work since that point has been to share her story of living in courage. Sharing with people that in the midst of immense tragedy, she was able to choose love, able to go within to find the courage to move forward. In a state of peace Debra dedicated herself to helping others to make these brave choices as well. The loss that she experienced in this short period of time was life altering, and illuminated a path forward that she never saw coming. Instead of retreating from life, Debra was called to open herself up, and create a blueprint for increasing joy and abundance.  For more information on Debra: http://www.DebraOakland.com
