On November 4, the Downtown San Diego Rotary was thrilled to host Deborah Bothum for an inspiring discussion on navigating life’s biggest transitions.

Deborah highlighted how easy it is to get caught up in professional advancement without checking if our next move matches our true values. She shared a simple yet profound framework for discovering your lifetime mission: look closely at your moments of pure joy, what you love, and even what you hate.
Understanding those patterns gives us a compass for making clearer, purpose-driven decisions. This technique works for everyone in any walk of life—Deborah has even shared it with incarcerated individuals to help them find hope and realize the personal resources they already have to build a new path.
Thank you, Deborah, for an insightful session!
