Book Debbie for Podcast Interviews
I love talking about BPD and emotional sensitivity, DBT skills, recovery from a lived-experience perspective, and how to use AI safely when it comes to mental health. If you host a show and think your listeners would connect with these topics, I’d love to hear from you. I’m always open to new podcast interviews, and radio shows too.
