Debbie Menold Marini

Debbie is a children’s advocate and holds a Masters in Human Behavioral Psychology. Her "Where Was God?" book series is focused on her granddaughter Quinn, with the intention of introducing God in a relatable and fun way.

Debbie created The Awareness Impact in 2016, which provides a platform to encourage children and adults, helping them find balance and love in their lives. The loss of her son’s friend to suicide has been the inspiration behind her writings; to provide comfort in spirituality, reminding us we are part of something bigger.

Debbie firmly believes in using the tools we’ve learned to help each other navigate through this journey we call life, creating a community where no one feels alone. Ever. She strives to create a sense of belonging and purpose for everyone and her books are a great vehicle to help her spread that message to children.

Debbie loves being a new grandmother “Nonna”, spending sunsets on the beach with her family and sharing her learned lessons to maintain a healthy mental state.
