A child restored.
A woman healed.
Still walking it out, one honest step at a time.
I'm Debbie Barentine. I write and speak about the “life after,” which is the long road of healing from relationship trauma, the faith that carried me through it, and the joy that came back when I stopped bracing for the next blow.

About Debbie
Healed through faith. Called to build.
I'm a survivor of relationship trauma and a woman of faith. For ten years I've poured my prayers into my journal, and through faith, things I thought were gone for good came back: rest, laughter, and curiosity.
Faith also gave me the courage to build. I've run businesses and I build websites, and today every one of those skills serves one focus: helping women heal.
Along the way I founded Graceful Confidence, a nonprofit providing long-term aftercare for women recovering from relationship trauma.
