Hi, I’m Debra Stewart
This isn’t simply a business to me—it reflects what I value. I care about creating thoughtful, meaningful work, guided by quality, integrity, and care in how it’s done.
a bit about me
I’m a Professional Certified Coach (PCC), accredited through the International Coaching Federation, a Certified Professional Retirement Coach (CPRC), and also hold a Master of Arts in Leadership. I also am certified in several helpful assessments like the MBTI, CliftonStrengths, and Strong Interest Inventory.
This combination of formal training and my own experiences means I bring both the depth of professional coaching practice and a genuine understanding of what it means to be at this particular threshold — navigating the shift from a defined professional identity toward something more spacious, more sovereign, and entirely your own.
I’ve spent years working with women at major life transitions — not to direct them toward a destination, but to help them develop the clarity and confidence to choose their own.
My writing — at Substack called @The Daily Practice Space — grew from this same work. The belief that attention to the ordinary details of daily life is where the real redesign happens. Not in grand plans, but in the rhythm of a Tuesday morning.
what makes this different
sovereignty, not reinvention.
There’s no shortage of advice about what to do with retirement. Travel more. Volunteer. Pick up a hobby. Start a business. The pressure to fill time productively can feel remarkably similar to the pressure that came before.
This work doesn’t offer a programme or a prescription. It offers something quieter and, in my experience, far more lasting — the space to slow down, to listen to yourself again, and to design what’s next from a place of genuine clarity rather than anxiety or comparison.
The women I work with aren’t broken and don’t need fixing. They’re intelligent, capable, and deeply ready to trust their own wisdom. They simply want a skilled, thoughtful companion for that journey.
