A note from me to you…
When I take on an initiative, I don’t simply participate – I ignite a movement. I pour 111% of my heart, soul, and wisdom into everything I touch, elevating it to a level that naturally magnetizes people. Why? Because I only commit to what deeply aligns with my values. That alignment fuels my relentless dedication – nothing is half-baked, and I work tirelessly until the vision is fully realized and the results speak for themselves.
With me, you get more than you expect.
As a strategist, speaker, and community builder, I bring a fresh, intentional approach to business growth, soulful expansion, and impact-driven leadership. With over 22 years of experience in real estate, community development, and event-driven growth, I blend industry expertise, storytelling, and relationship-building to spark meaningful connections and create lasting impact.
I do more than design events – I orchestrate experiences that move people to action. Whether I’m speaking, emceeing, or cultivating thriving communities, my energy and authenticity create spaces where collaboration flourishes. Building trust and fostering relationships have been at the core of my work since childhood… long before I had a title.
When you engage with me, you’re starting a journey that will challenge, inspire, and transform you, your team, and your community.
Why organizations work with me…
Your vision deserves to be seen, heard, and fully realized.
With over three decades of experience, I’ve dedicated my career to empowering organizations to break free from outdated paradigms and build businesses that radiate fulfillment, joy, and lasting impact. Whether consulting on business strategy or curating large-scale events, my work focuses on creating harmony and helping organizations align their mission with purpose.
I help soulful organizations cultivate meaningful connections, develop strategic partnerships, and lead with authenticity. By uniting teams, strengthening client relationships, or rallying a focus group to inform strategic decisions, we’ll create a community that fosters growth, connection, and shared values.
Together, we’ll amplify your organization’s impact in ways that inspire transformation.
Why leaders work with me…
Throughout my decades of leadership in the real estate industry and in founding Red Threads Collective, I have cultivated sacred spaces where visionary women can thrive, free from the limitations of hustle culture and patriarchal conditioning. I collaborate with leaders to support their personal and professional development, align their actions with their core values, and design impactful experiences that spark transformation.
Whether you’re seeking to align your leadership with purpose, craft impactful messaging, or expand your reach, you deserve more than a consultant – you deserve a partner who truly understands your mission. With intuitive guidance, strategic insight, and personal development and care rituals, we’ll build your confidence and empower you to lead with emotional intelligence. Every decision and move will feel powerful, purposeful, and aligned with a deeper mission, creating a lasting impact.

Debra is one of those rare leaders that you can’t get enough of. She is consistently positive, engaging and understands how to spotlight others and make everyone shine.
Debra and I met years back during an interview on one of her talk shows and have collaborated over the last several years on women’s conferences and virtual events.
It is because of her involvement they are some of the most supportive environments I have ever spoken at. Debra’s abilities are in community building and increasing engagement. Facilitating, hosting and moderating events, podcasts, conferences and other live events.
Do yourself a favor and bring her in.

Debra is one of the most passionate, kind hearted & smartest business women I’ve had the pleasure of consulting with in my career. Debra is the master of fueling your fire.
She guides you to find your vision & helps you get to the bottom of what makes you “tick” in business but more importantly as a person. I’ve worked with other “business coaches” before & none have provided me with the value or results I was looking for to improve & accerlerate my business.
That changed dramatically when I started consulting with Debra. I am crystal clear about my core values & have implemented several marketing strategies that have brought in more revenue which propelled the passion I have for my business.
She’s been a great influence & asset in my life and business.

Hiring Debra to speak and emcee our first women’s conference was one of the best decisions we made. We thought we’d have 100 women in the room, but we had to shut the doors at 350 – any more and the fire department would’ve been called!
The energy was electric, and Debra was a huge part of that. She has a rare ability to command a room with both warmth and authority, creating an atmosphere that is engaging, inspiring, and deeply connective. She didn’t just show up to speak; she took the time to understand our audience, align with our vision, and ensure every moment felt meaningful. Our attendees were captivated by her presence, and the feedback was phenomenal.
If you need a speaker or emcee who will elevate your event and leave a lasting impact, Debra is the one.
