Women Warriors - Finding Your Light in the Darkness

This week on Women Warriors (Wed, Jan 29th at Noon ET) our special guest is Deborah Chiaravalloti. Deborah will discuss the topic of “Finding your Light in the Darkness.”   Women have to cope with many conflicting pressures in life- family, marriage, work. Even when the days seem darkest, how can you raise above the darkness and into the light?  We will be discussing lessons on how to channel your deepest energies, survive and carry on!

Deborah's husband has suffered from depression for more than 20 years. It is the 3rd person in the marriage. And yet, they would both say they are happily married. How did Deborah raise 5 children while dealing with his chronic depression? How did she survive when in one 3-month period they were forced to close their business, their son was critically injured in a car accident, their daughter had surgery on both legs, and Deborah's parents were in the hospital. Now her father has passed away and her mother is in the advanced stages of dementia. Deborah is building her own business and her husband still suffers from depression.
