After growing up with an alcoholic father, Debbie Page was told in college "If you have alcoholism in your family, you're going to be attracted to that in a partner.” Being a very level-headed woman, whose father got sober when she was 16, she thought that was ridiculous, until she met her gregarious, fun-loving future husband in her early 20s. That began nearly 20 years of justification, lies, shame, rehab, financial infidelity and eventually divorce. An eventual understanding of the term codependency.

Debbie is a certified money coach and an internationally recognized and award-winning entrepreneur, business coach, and advocate for women's economic independence. She is recognized as a leading authority on cash flow and profitability for women in business. For over two decades, Debbie has worked with women and money and has acquired, scaled, and sold two businesses of her own. Her clients achieve stunning success with profitability because of her commitment to accountability, execution, and the systems and processes to create sustainable and scalable businesses.

Debbie met Arwen when she was looking for a very specific kind of business coach: a woman who specializes in working with other women. Today, Debbie joins the podcast for a frank conversation about how she survived a destructive marriage, constant deception, and her decision to leave - all while running multiple highly successful businesses and being a major figure in her industry.
