Broken Open, Not Broken Down – How Love, Presence, & Self-Inquiry Create True Leadership With Debbie Zita

In this deeply soulful and expansive conversation, Carolyn Cooper sits down with Debbie Zita to explore how grief, trauma, and self-abandonment can be alchemized into purpose, power, and embodied leadership. This episode is an invitation to choose yourself, include every part of who you are, and lead from love rather than survival.

What You’ll Hear:

1. Debbie’s powerful journey through grief, abuse, loss, and identity reclamation - and how it shaped her leadership.
2. The turning point that taught her to include herself in the love and compassion she gave to others.
3. An introduction to the Six Selves Model of Self Inquiry and how it helps women align success, purpose, profit, and well-being.
4. Why boundaries, presence, and embodiment are essential for leading from a whole and integrated self.
5. How inherited family patterns, people-pleasing, and disconnection from the creative self keep women stuck - and what it takes to break free.
6. A heartfelt reflection on feminine power, inner child healing, and the invitation to lead with deeper self-awareness and intention.
