Sometimes hardship allows what's most important to surface. For Debra Palmer, some bumps in the road led her to cultivate her own emotional intelligence. Feelings, she says, are messengers that merit listening to, for guidance and purpose. In a society that prioritizes linear logic over emotion, Debra stresses that it's emotional intelligence that fosters personal growth and understanding.

Debra's professional journey led her to nursing where she eventually transitioned from traditional medicine to a more holistic approach that recognized the power of cultural beliefs and family systems in creating both health and disease. She advocates for a more compassionate, patient-centered approach to healthcare, one that considers the whole person rather than just the symptoms. And she recognizes the importance of neuroplasticity, particularly in trauma related situations

This is a conversation full of challenge and joy. Debra's journey is about the power of resilience, the importance of self-discovery, and the continuous cycle of healing. And it highlights how Debra's personal philosophy of looking for joy in adversity is a behavioral role model for all of us.

It's an Award Winning, Amazon best selling book!
