I knew I’d ask Debe Bloom to share- she is truly a giving heart and spirit! The picture below is HER- she is sunshine without a doubt!
What inspires you each and every day?
Debe: “Without trying to sound like the world circles around me, my own growth inspires me…and how far I can comfortably ‘push’ myself. Knowing I can help myself, I know I can authentically help others. I am on a growth mission, for all…since I believe that I can’t help others unless I’ve walked the walk myself.”
What part of your life did you once assume was ordinary that you have found inspires others?
Debe: “This actually shocks me a bit: In my ‘previous life of 23 years’, every time I voiced an opinion, it was diminished into the worthless category. After I woke up and moved on, my thoughts and voice became valuable to others. Today, that same voice has helped so many people — and when they share their gratitude, it tickles me. Being able to coach and mentor others is very important to me.”
What is one of the most important lessons you have learned in life?
Debe: “Every single one of us has value and importance. We are each experts at what we do—from being a CEO of a major corporation to working at the local hamburger stand– and although our confidence can get out of balance periodically, everyone is special. So that knowledge coupled with the knowledge that there is a positive lesson in each episode of our day, will help make a worthwhile life. As my mother used to say (and I’m sure many other mothers quoted), there is a reason for everything. Finding that reason is the key.”
Debe is the youngest of 4 who shared most of her life with a twin sister, who is putting one foot in front of the other, moving forward and sharing that message with others. Debe Bloom, Certified Confidence Coach, www.debebloom.com www.facebook.com/DebeBloomCertifiedCoach 805.659.3323

1 million women, ordinarily extraordinary inspiring our lives! What an amazing vision! Today I am excited to share a woman I adore– Laura:
What inspires you each and every day?
“Laura: When I wake up in the morning, I run (not walk) to my computer to turn it on…then run (not walk) to the coffee pot to make a cup o joe…. Why? because I figure I have about 30 solid minutes before I have to wake up my daughter for school, at which point my hat changes from Mompreneur to mom… I go about the daily routine: iron clothes, feed the dog, pack lunches and make breakfast…make sure she has everything in her backpack and by 7:15 we are on our way to school which is no longer the days of the past where the school is in your neighborhood… it is about 12 miles away (one way) in LA traffic – oh and it is not free! As we loop around the corner just to make it in with a minute before the tardy bell rings my daughter gives me a kiss goodbye and says “I love you mom”… I realize that everything that I do…Everything that inspires me to be the Mompreneur that I am, comes from my biggest inspiration – my daughter. I am inspired to be a successful Mompreneur because working for myself allows me to be both a mom as well as a positive role model for my daughter. I am inspired to shine for HER – so that she one day will also be a positive role model for her children and a leader in this world, equally.”
What is one of the most important lessons you have learned in life?
“Laura: I have learned to get everything in writing. Many times we are naive and we think everyone will always be fair. Not the case. In business, always have a contract. Nothing personal, it’s just business.”
I am speaking at Laura’s event this fall (see the pink “I’m speaking” banner to the right?) She is the most amazing connecter I have ever known. And she once thought that was ordinary, that everyone did it!

My dream is to share amazing women with you, my vision: to inspire 1 million women to step into their personal power. I want each week to share a women who inspires me with you. As I manifested what this looked like, I realized it wasn’t about super famous or rich, they are women are like me. They are what I call “ordinarily extraordinary.”
These women were once warriors fighting the wrong battles. Now they know the right fight.
Some have even been angels (we are all angels here on earth) whose wings are broken. Now they soar above the drama.
They are amazing, funny, loving and forgiving. They embrace other women. They understand LEAD. EMPOWER. OWN. Each will share with you, straight from their hearts, and I will share a little video as well.
In my book, The Influence Factor, I share a key element that all of these women possess: Empower Your Truth. They have reclaimed the stories that make them who they are, and have stepped into it beautifully.
I am excited to share, I hope you will be inspired by the “ordinarily extraordinary” women!
