Welcome to Freedom Adventure Courage!
Life design for women who are wondering, “What’s next?”
This is the place to reconnect with your intuition and who you really are, build your next chapter around that, and have the courage to live it — fully, freely, and on your own terms.
This is a space to have...
Permission — to not have it all figured out yet, and to trust that the ‘not knowing’ is actually the beginning of something good
Clarity — about who you really are beneath the roles, the expectations, and the life you’ve been busy living
Courage — to imagine a life that looks and feels genuinely YOU, and to start moving toward it
Freedom — not just of location or schedule, but the deeper kind: the freedom to be truly and unapologetically yourself
Adventure — in the biggest sense of the word. New places and experiences, yes — but also new ways of thinking, living, and showing up in the world
Hi, I’m Deborah
On the morning of January 18, 2011, I woke up to a blizzard outside. My sales job had scheduled me for a house call three hours away, but I didn’t want to risk the bad roads. They told me, “Go or you’re fired.” I didn’t go.
Losing that job was the best thing that ever happened to me — not because I didn’t have to drive on icy roads, but because I had had enough. After years of living in the rat race — as an employee, as an entrepreneur, in commissioned sales — I was done. There had to be more to life than this.
Then I remembered a story I’d heard about a couple who retired early, sold everything, and moved overseas. It had always seemed like a pipe dream for “other people,” not someone like me. But I asked myself: How could I possibly do something like that?
I spent the rest of that day researching, and exactly six months later — July 18, 2011 — I stepped off a plane in Taiwan, where I would live for eight years and kick off an adventure I never imagined could be possible.
Fifteen years later, I’m still loving my expat life — and now I want to help other women have the courage to live their own adventures. That’s why I created Freedom Adventure Courage.
Your version might not mean selling everything and moving overseas, and that’s okay.
Life Design isn’t about location. It’s about reconnecting with who you really are, designing the life you actually want, and having the courage to live it. That can feel daunting and scary — but also the best decision you ever made.
And that’s exactly why I created this space — to help you find out.
You might be here because...
Life has handed you an unexpected opening — a transition, a change, an ending — and you’re standing in it not quite sure which direction to walk
Something has shifted, even if you can’t name it yet. The life you’ve been living feels like it just doesn’t quite fit anymore
You’ve achieved things, done the right things, been the right things — and you’re quietly wondering if there’s something more true available to you
You’re tired of running a race that’s swept you away, but you’re not sure how to step out of it or what life would look like without the busy-ness
You have a sense that who you are and how you’re living might not entirely match — and that gap is starting to matter
You’re not in crisis. You’re just at a crossroads, and you’d love a little company, clarity, and courage for the journey
“Everything you’ve ever wanted is on the other side of fear.” - George Addair
What changes when you do this work...
You stop measuring your life by someone else’s yardstick — and start discovering what your version of a good life actually looks and feels like
The fear and resistance that’s been keeping you stuck begins to loosen its grip, and the possibilities you couldn’t quite let yourself imagine start to feel genuinely real
You reconnect with the version of yourself that got a little lost along the way — the one with opinions and desires and a particular kind of wildness that didn’t fit neatly into the life you’d built
You start making decisions from a place of clarity and alignment rather than habit, obligation, or fear
The next chapter of your life stops feeling like a question mark and starts feeling like something you’re actually building — intentionally, joyfully, on your own terms
What you’ll find here...

🌍 Stories from the road — slow travel, expat life, and the way a new place can crack you open in the best possible way
And when you’re ready to go deeper:
💫 Life Design Coaching — to help you get clear on what you actually want and start building toward it
🌿 EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) — a powerful, evidence-based tool that works directly on the fears and blocks keeping you stuck, even when you already know what you want. It’s what moves women from “I’d love to, but...” to actually doing the thing.

A bit about me
I'm an intuitive explorer and free spirit — an ENFP and Enneagram 7 — which means I'm endlessly curious, multi-passionate, and someone who believes in following my curiosity and building a life aligned with freedom and meaning.
I've been living abroad as an expat since 2011 — first in Taiwan for eight years, then across Europe — and I'm a dual US/Italian citizen. I’ve done most of it solo, so I’m well-versed in getting out of my comfort zone.
Being a multi-passionate entrepreneur, I’m also:
🧭 An EFTi-accredited & certified EFT practitioner
🎓 A CTA-certified Life Coach
🔮 Deeply interested in intuition, psychology, and transformation through experience
🌱 Someone who values depth, honesty, and real-world application over hype or hustle
🃏 A tarot and oracle enthusiast — as tools for self-reflection and connection with intuition
I believe that confidence is built one brave step at a time and that we never know what we’re truly capable of until we move past our fears and try new things.
That’s where the true magic happens, and I hope you’ll join me on this exciting journey!
💛
Deborah
