Faith-Led Leadership Coach & Mentor

You already know.
The question is whether you’re ready to trust it.

I’m Debbie-Jane Harris — former ICU and emergency nurse, author of Called Forward, and a faith-led leadership coach.

I help midlife women recognise the difference between burnout and calling, discern the still small voice from fear, and take their next faithful step with clarity and courage.

Three doorways. One journey of faith.

“And who knows but that you have come to your position for such a time as this?”

Esther 4:14

Your Next Faithful Step Starts Here

You already know something is shifting. Maybe you’re exhausted in a way that rest doesn’t fully touch, or standing at a crossroads, wondering whether God is inviting you into a new season.

You don’t need the whole map. You just need the courage to take the next faithful step.

Called Forward offers three natural ways to begin.

RECOGNISE → UNDERSTAND → WALK IT OUT

Is God Calling You Into a New Season?

Free Faith-Led Clarity Check-In

Sometimes exhaustion is your body asking for rest.

Sometimes restlessness is inviting you to pay attention.

And sometimes both are happening at once.

“And after the fire came a gentle whisper.” 1 Kings 19:12

This short reflection helps you recognise where you are in your current season and what may be inviting deeper attention.

When Fear Says Stay, but Faith Leads You to Freedom

The Book — Called Forward

Called Forward gives you the frameworks to discern wisely: exploring fear and faith, recognising what you’re sensing, applying the Peace Test, understanding the real cost of walking away and rebuilding when an old identity no longer fits.

Drawing on lived experience, biblical encouragement and practical reflection, this book is for the woman who senses something needs to change but is still learning to trust God through uncertainty.

This isn’t about rushing into a decision.

It’s about finding the wisdom and courage to take your next faithful step.

About Me

I know what it’s like to sense that something needs to change.

I’m Debbie-Jane — a former ICU and emergency nurse, author of Called Forward, and a faith-led leadership coach. My work today grows out of my own journey of learning to listen, let go and trust God again.

There were parts of my life that looked successful on the outside, including a business I’d poured years into, but were quietly costing me my peace and my purpose. God wasn’t asking me to manage them better. He was asking me to let them go.

In a moment of desperation, I found myself on my knees, asking God for a miracle. That surrender brought me back to Jesus as the centre of my life. Since then, a different kind of life has been forming: slower, more peaceful, and ordered around Him.

That’s why I now help midlife women recognise what feels out of alignment, discern their next faithful step and find the courage to take it. Not from a place of having every answer, but from knowing how much it matters to walk this journey with faith.
