You’ve done the hard part. Now you get to build the beautiful part.
Your next chapter deserves all of you.
At 50, I went back for a doctorate and discovered The Five Stages of Betrayal Recovery™. Stage 5 is where people arrive when they’ve done the work and have become stronger, wiser, and ready to live fully. Now, at 60, I’m earning a second doctorate, this one in holistic health, and I’m sharing everything I learn along the way.
What I’ve learned is that you don’t need a betrayal to get to Stage 5 and start living a Stage 5 life. An illness, retirement, a loss, an empty nest, leaving a career, or simply deciding the rest of my life will be the best of my life can all be your doorway into Stage 5. Stage 5 is where you stop waiting.
It’s built on four cornerstones: body, self, people, spirit. When one is neglected, you feel it everywhere. When all four are honored, life gets fuller, richer, and more yours.
Which one has been the most neglected?
That’s where your Stage 5 begins.

About Dr. Debi
At 50, I went back for a doctorate.
At 60, I’m doing it again.
After her own experience of betrayal, Dr. Debi went back to school at 50, earned her PhD, and discovered The Five Stages of Betrayal Recovery™. That work became The PBT® Institute, two TEDx talks, bestselling books, and National Forgiveness Day. Then, at 60, she did something most experts never do: she outgrew it. Today she helps people build their healthiest, happiest, most confident next chapter, while earning a second doctorate in holistic health. Who knows what she may discover this time?
