understand WHAT it is that fortifies, nourishes and
strengthens you, from the inside out. Debrena will
share simple but powerful life-changing principles
from her two national best-selling books that will
give you insight on how to fully access your
greatness, and transform how you see yourself and
your life. Get ready to be ‘fired up’ and inspired.
