Deborah Santana: Choosing You
In This Episode:
When a woman decides to choose herself, everything changes. It’s a moment that invites her to reclaim her voice, her truth, and her life after years of living according to expectations that no longer fit. Deborah Santana’s journey goes from a life shaped by heritage, to marriage to legendary musician Carlos Santana, to a spiritual and personal rebirth. She discusses why the fire meant to consume us can become the source of freedom. Deborah is an author, activist, and author of the book, Loving the Fire: Choosing Me, Finding Freedom.
