021. The Wisdom of Loss and Faith: Debra Marcotte
In this episode of Soul Chats Podcast, I’m chatting with long-time friend and sister of my heart Debra Marcotte.
Deb is an Earth mother (and lover) and a Waldorf teacher. Her life path to this point includes the end of her near 30-year marriage, and the loss of her eldest son to suicide.
Yes, we go there. And Deb opens up about the evolution, challenges and the supports that have shaped her since… among many other things. Enjoy.

Quotable Debra Marcotte
“Just listen to what they’re saying. They don’t need you to respond or fix anything. They’ll ask for that if they need that.”
“Especially on days - and even longer - when I’ve been having such a joyful time being a teacher and realizing that, ‘You do know, you would not be doing this if you were still married.’”
“There's that deeply-seated, learned thing that I think many women have. You know, what other people think of us is all-important, instead of what other people think of me is none of my business.”
“I was starting to say ‘no’ to certain things, and that didn’t go over well.”
“Their choice was not about you, or necessarily about your relationship. It was their own relationship with themselves and their physical self and/or their spiritual self.”
