Debbie
Debbie is on a continual spiritual journey, as she realizes that “we are not bodies with souls, rather we are souls with bodies . . . simply experiencing this beautiful life!”
She is a mother of two grown children, and a grandmother of four.
Thus far in life, she has had careers with The NCR Corporation, the Warren County Engineer and WRGT-Fox 45 and NBC-22 stations.
She created her own successful small business Joli Boutique LLC, where her niche became traveling to Paris twice a year to bring the latest fashions back to the women of her area.
She and her husband at the time travelled extensively throughout Europe, enjoyed many wonderful experiences . . . all the while scouting for the latest fashion trends.
At the same time, with her television background Debbie recognized and appreciated the importance on marketing and promotion.
She helped create, oversaw and creatively marketed a group of over 100 small businesses working together and became well known as “The Heart of Centerville”. This effort helped develop historic downtown Centerville, Ohio, placed them on the map whereas they became a true destination area.
In October of 2014, Debbie made the decision to retire. She sold and gave away almost all of her material possessions, became a minimalist and then travelled and enjoyed seeing the USA for the next six years with an old high school friend.
They lived full-time in a 32′ Country Coach Allure motor home. Debbie all the while documented their adventures on a Facebook group entitled “The Pod Life”.
In 2020 Debbie and her partner made the decision to amicably part ways, wherein he made the decision to continue “The Pod Life” and she returned home to Springboro to be near her dear family and friends.
That brings us to the present where Debbie and her friend and business partner, Grace have now collaborated together to create Facebook and Instagram Live: “Keep it REAL . . . with Grace and Debbie!”
Together they are two women in their prime, enjoying, spotlighting, and sharing the many ways they and others are re-branding “middle age”!
Debbie enjoys spending time and creating memories with her many friends and family. She practices meditation and yoga, reads and plans to travel more and explore the world as she continues on with her spiritual journey.
