Tuesday Sep 24, 2024
Tuesday Sep 24, 2024
Debbie Ausburn is a social worker turned lawyer who has been working with traumatized children for over 40 years. Her experience in this field started when she was a preteen helping her parents with their summer camp and church ministries.
Throughout her career, she has served in various roles, including juvenile court probation officer/social worker, group home parent, criminal prosecutor, non-profit volunteer, and Board member, and attorney defending youth-serving organizations.
Her most important roles, however, have been as a foster parent and stepparent, through which she has managed to collect seven children and ten grandchildren. Debbie has learned important life lessons from her experiences with her foster children, stepchildren, and grandchildren, and she now enjoys sharing about how to build strong relationships as their Plan B parent.
She has appeared on numerous podcasts, radio shows, and television broadcasts and is a frequently requested speaker for foster parent associations, camping programs, childcare center associations, private school conferences, and child—service organizations. My book, Raising Other People’s Children: What Foster Parenting Taught Me about Bringing Together a Blended Family, outlines many of those lessons. I also blog about parenting topics at RaisingOtherPeoplesChildren.blog

AJ Coleman is the author of Keep Those Feet Moving — A Widower’s 8-Step Guide to Coping With Grief and Thriving Against All Odds.
Throughout AJ’s life, he has had to overcome tremendous challenges.
As a child, AJ was frequently bullied for his hearing impairment. Instead of letting social challenges define him, AJ strived to overcome them.
In 2009, AJ faced the most painful challenge of all—losing his wife Cory to brain cancer—when their daughter was just one-year-old.
AJ started the Keep Those Feet Moving blog in 2013 to share his advice, experiences, and philosophical wisdom with the world. He was inspired to write by the encouragement of close friends and family members, who were all astonished by how AJ was able to stay strong after losing Cory.
Today, AJ lives in a suburb of Chicago. He is remarried with a blended family and focuses his time on raising his family and helping others overcome challenges. AJ is an avid Florida Gator fan who enjoys traveling, learning languages, and playing soccer. When he isn't writing, he always looks for opportunities to self-educate.
AJ’s story is truly an inspiration for all of us to Keep Those Feet Moving, no matter how difficult it may seem at the time. And He is back to talk to us about how he started dating after losing his wife.
