There are moments in life when something inside us begins to whisper—this isn’t it anymore.
In this episode of Hope Comes to Visit, I had the honor of sitting down with Deborah Santana—author, activist, and a deeply intentional voice for women, peace, and social justice.
We talked about what it means to step out of the roles we’ve lived in for years… and into the truth of who we are becoming. Deborah’s new memoir, Loving the Fire: Choosing Me, Finding Freedom, is a powerful reflection on identity, transformation, and the courage it takes to leave what no longer aligns—even when you can’t yet see what comes next.
In this conversation, we explore:
*What it feels like to live in someone else’s shadow—and step out of it
*The courage it takes to choose yourself
*Navigating grief, loss, and life transitions
*The importance of silence, reflection, and self-love
*How to walk through “the fire” and come out transformed
One of the most powerful reminders from Deborah:
“Shed the old, walk through the fire, birth the new, and be regenerated.”
If you’re in a season of change, questioning, or becoming—this conversation will meet you there.
Listen now and take a little light with you.
