Debra Lynn Carter is a seasoned spiritual director and bereavement educator with 20 years’ experience in emotional intelligence group workshops and one-on-one life coaching. She instructs individuals to operate from their highest, most loving selves to realize their potential. She emphasizes the POWER of embracing discomfort to advance toward one’s purpose. She holds a ministerial bachelor of holistic theology degree, completed the Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) program as an intern and resident at Saint Luke’s Health System, Kansas City, Missouri, and is pursuing a Master of Arts in Counseling at Central Baptist Theological Seminary, Shawnee, Kansas.
She teaches "Spiritual Care for African American Patients, Families, and Staff" to CPE interns and residents at Saint Luke’s Health System. Debra also has experience with end-of-life patients, providing spiritual care and grief support groups for loved ones.
Her personal journey involves overcoming obstacles. She raised her son with sickle cell disease and institutionalized addiction. Her experiences with life’s difficulties have been her greatest teachers, observing the tenacity, strength, and suffering of her son.
Over the past two decades, Debra has worked in personal development, spiritual awareness, community chaplaincy services, and bereavement work. She initiated her first 3-day personal growth and spiritual awakening workshop at age 40. Through her challenging experiences, she acquired wisdom to guide self-development, spiritual awakening sessions, group partnership development, and bereavement work.
Her biblical name, meaning "Bee" in Hebrew, symbolizes qualities like wisdom, strength, and leadership. Her tenacity and strength derive from being a mother, advocate, and long-term caregiver for her son, diagnosed with sickle cell disease at age 3. He's now 41.
Various life coaches and Christian ministers encouraged her to alter her negative thinking, define her dreams, believe in her abilities, and find meaning and purpose in life's challenges. She found meaning through reflection, self-discovery, and lessons learned from hardships, developing resilience, strength, and wisdom.
