Bio, long

​

Debbie Jenae is a child abuse survivor, advocate, award-winning author, and master handwriting analyst with a passion for increasing understanding of human behavior and potential. She founded Inspired 101 as a resource for positive action, advocacy, and healing and produces its monthly newsletter, Inspired 101 News.

Debbie has published 4 books: 101 Ways to Wow! Our World (2025) — 101 positive actions and 80+ resources to move beyond the fear and negativity to the joy, love, and abundance that is our birthright. Your Light, Your Life! (2021) — a booklet of her 10 best pep talks ever! If Roses Were Blue  (2017) — an inspiring adventure of courage, trust, and friendship for ages 8 and above, and Be An Inspiration! (2013) now expanded and retitled to 101 Ways to Wow! Our World — an uplifting collection of ideas (101!) and resources for survivors, caregivers, and advocates of change.

Her perspective is influenced by seven years as a court appointed child advocate (an award nominee by the Hawaii governor’s office for her dedication and commitment) as well as personal experience, study, and training in trauma and healing. Debbie credits much of her passion for understanding human behavior and potential to her study of handwriting analysis. She holds a Master Certification in Graphoanalysis, was named Graphoanalyst of the Year 2015, and has been involved in the field for more than 40 years. Through her columns Write On! and Handwriting@Work she has published more than 300 articles on character and personality to offer encouragement and insight. Her interests span the alternatives — mind-body healing, energy medicine, animal symbology, women's ancient history and influence, Native American spirituality,  and handwriting analysis — because they were all an integral part of her healing. She shares this journey from quiet survivor to public speaker with honesty and insight, empowering her audience with a unique perspective and call to action. She lives in California’s Santa Ynez Valley.
