   Author Spotlight: Dreams Without Limits with Debra Blue

   In this Author Spotlight episode of Her Best Chapter, Michelle Savage and bestselling author Debra Blue talk about what it looks like to keep making expansive choices in midlife while adjusting for changing bodies, shifting priorities, and real-world constraints. They dig into Debra's upcoming Antarctic half-marathon, the tradeoffs behind travel and endurance goals, and how she decides what is still worth pursuing versus what needs to evolve. Debra shares how she keeps a long list of dreams alive without forcing every goal to look the same at every stage of life. She also covers her personal approach to money, recovery, and why she turned this next challenge into a fundraiser for families served by Dell Children's Hospital. Debra is a two time best selling author who grew up in a military family, moving frequently and experiencing a childhood shaped by constant change. This early exposure to new places and diverse cultures sparked a lifelong curiosity about the world and the people in it. That curiosity naturally led her to pursue a degree in Cultural Anthropology, giving her a deeper lens through which to understand different societies and ways of life. After spending time in New York City, Debra transitioned into a long and rewarding career in the tech industry, a path that has allowed her to carry on her passion for global exploration. Beyond her professional life, she prioritizes staying active and enjoys sports, believing that physical fitness is the key to continuing her adventures and seeing more of the world as she moves through midlife. Key topics: Debra's upcoming half-marathon in Antarctica Why Antarctica's silence, glaciers, and wildlife appeal to her How injuries shifted her toward lower-impact training Why adapting a dream is better than giving it up How she weighs experiences against money, sleep, and planning Why Debra prioritizes experiences over saving for "someday" How simple living helps fund her travel goals How Debra's bucket list evolves with her life How her run supports Dell Children's Hospital families Connect with Debra: Support Debra's Run! https://www.linkedin.com/in/debrablue/ https://www.instagram.com/woman.spread/ https://substack.com/@debrablue Get Connected Free Mini-Masterclass (https://sulitpress.com) — everything you need to go from blank page to published book.

   Author Spotlight: From Sucking It Up to Surrender with Molly Mae Potter

   In this Author Spotlight episode of Her Best Chapter, Michelle Savage talks with Molly Mae Potter about her path from Air Force engineering and combat-zone deployment to personal collapse, recovery, and a career built around work that actually fits her. Molly discusses her blast injury in Afghanistan and how she rebuilt her life with help from family, therapy, and a fresh start. She also highlights her career pivots, why she measures her life against what eight-year-old Molly Mae would have wanted, and how she found renewed purpose in aviation and problem-solving. It's a candid conversation about how strength can become self-abandonment, and how choosing the right environment can be the difference between surviving and truly thriving. Molly Mae Potter is a founder, corporate executive, and veteran community leader who has spent two decades at the intersection of technology, national security, and human-centered leadership. A U.S. Air Force veteran and former flight test engineer who began her career supporting NASA's Mars Rover missions, Molly Mae went on to hold executive roles at Fortune 100 technology corporations before launching Salem CSO Partners, a product security and AI advisory firm built around governance and ethical AI. She currently serves as SVP of Technology, Engineering & PMO at Dynamic Aviation. Key topics: Molly's experience of writing in the bestseller Luminaries: Women Leaders Who Light the Way The Afghanistan blast that changed Molly's life, including the ordinary details that make the moment unforgettable What a blast injury can feel like physically, from gravel taste to grogginess, headaches, ringing ears, sore lungs, and the delayed realization that something more serious may have happened. How war creates a mission-first bubble where you keep moving even when your body and mind are clearly not okay. The shift from post-blast survival mode into anxiety, obsessive running, food control, brain fog, memory gaps, and a marriage falling apart. Molly's path from military service into Fortune 100 leadership, including the difference between environments that reward her voice and ones that punish it. Why she now wants to make eight-year-old Molly Mae proud, and how that led her back toward work that matches her curiosity, energy, and love of aviation.

   Author Spotlight: Navigating Ageism at Work with Lisa Moguel

   In this Author Spotlight episode of Her Best Chapter, Michelle Savage speaks with Lisa Moguel, a serial entrepreneur, financial feminist, photographer, and longtime business leader, about ageism in the workplace and how midlife experience can become a strength rather than a liability. Lisa shares about being overlooked in hospitality because of her age, and how that moment pushed her to stop seeking permission and start valuing her own expertise. A serial entrepreneur, financial feminist, professional sponsored photographer, and former President of the Zonta Club of Austin, Lisa spent three decades building businesses and uncovering opportunities others miss. Commercial real estate taught her to read the numbers, and to notice how many women stay in jobs they've outgrown just to keep the paycheck and benefits. That's the cost behind what Lisa calls Borrowed Leadership: organizations lean on experienced women for their wisdom, then overlook them for advancement, until financial dependence is the only thing keeping them in the room. Lisa's mission is to help organizations recognize the value of experience before they lose it, and help women build enough financial ground to never wait for permission to leave. Key topics: "Borrowed leadership," handling manager-level problems without the title or recognition. How multi-hyphenate careers build transferable skills across sales, operations, consulting, and client management. Exposing ageism in a professional environment How subtle ageism can hide behind excuses like technology, fit, or process. Why menopause, energy changes, and family responsibilities can collide with workplace pressures. Improving systems and processes without needing a promotion to add value. Encouraging women to know their value, keep going, show their work, and make their impact visible Connect with Lisa: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisamoguel/ Get Connected Free Mini-Masterclass (https://sulitpress.com) — everything you need to go from blank page to published book.
