Raving Coaches

You know what I hear from a lot of midlife women? “I did what I was supposed to do… and now I don’t know who I am.” Debbie Harrell calls that the autopilot problem—and in this conversation she names the rules underneath it: people-pleasing, martyr-mode, and decades of prioritizing everyone else’s needs until your own wants feel… inaccessible. Debbie shares why she chose the phrase “rebel life coach,” how rebellion can be deeply practical (not dramatic), and why the smallest micro-moments—five minutes without your phone, a breath, a check-in—can be the beginning of getting your life back. I also loved her point about “normal”: once you label one way as normal, you automatically label everything else as not-normal…and that’s where shame sneaks in. If you coach women, this is marketing gold too: Debbie is basically handing you language for the moment your client finally says, “Wait… why am I living like this?” We talk identity, values, and what it looks like to stop “shoulding” on yourself as your season of life changes.   Guest Bio (Debbie Harrell | Interpreter Endotype) Debbie Harrell is a certified life coach and the voice behind New World Normal, a platform helping women break free from limiting norms and live more aligned with their values.
