In this episode of Holding Space with Authentically Amy, Amy sits down with powerhouse entrepreneur and global women’s leader Deb Drummond to unpack what happens behind the scenes of major success. Fresh from producing a 5-day event filled with summits, dinners, a fashion show (featuring her son, Ocean’s, runway debut), and awards, Deb shares both the exhilaration and the exhaustion of pulling it all together.

Together, Amy and Deb dive into:

The aftermath of big events—balancing recovery with the constant pull of business responsibilities

The delicate dance of supporting adult children—when to mentor, when to mother, and when to let them learn on their own

The reality that not everyone will celebrate your success—and how to navigate unsupportive relationships as you level up

The importance of holding space for yourself as a leader through positive self-talk, music, coaching, and safe communities

Why in-person connection still matters in a digital world

Deb also shares her work with 262, a global women’s organization offering summits, media opportunities, and community support, and previews her upcoming book Go Big.

If you’ve ever felt the tension between achievement and exhaustion, celebration and criticism, giving and needing support—this conversation will remind you that you’re not alone.
