SPEAKING

Dr Deb Roberts works in many settings to promote self-care and community wellbeing .

She is proud to support the national Australian mental health support service Beyond Blue as an ambassador, speaker, and writer.

For 12 episodes across 2022-2023, she was engaged in a podcast, Soul Sisters, with her life-long friend of 50 years Katherine Holman. See Episode 1. Through these sessions, they discuss many topics related to age and stage of life, wellbeing, spirituality and synchronicities.

"Deb was an incredible source of guidance and direction in self-care during some pretty challenging times for the team. Her understanding of the human condition is impressive and I'd highly recommend her to any organisation that cares about the wellbeing of its people".
