She has been featured in Insight Magazine and listed in Who’s Who in America 2024-2025 for her 50 years of service as an educator and author.

Deborah appeared as a guest in April 2024, during which they discussed her impactful books and caregiving insights. In this engaging interview, she also previewed her upcoming book, The Sharegiver and The Crown: A Journey to Empowered Caregiving, which will be available on Amazon by the end of September or early October. Additionally, Deborah is launching her podcast, The Sharegiving Secret: How to Survive Family Caregiving, across multiple platforms starting in October.

During our conversation, they both emphasized how vital it is for caregivers to share their stories and experiences to assist others, seek support, and delegate responsibilities. We explored the importance of self-care, preserving one’s quality of life, maintaining personal power, and effective communication.
