Debra Oakland

Debra Oakland is the founder of Living in Courage, a spiritual oasis dedicated to overcoming life’s greatest challenges with strength, resilience, and purpose.

Within just four years, Debra experienced profound personal loss, including the death of her 21-year-old son, the loss of her baby girl in the eighth month of pregnancy, both of her brothers, and later her father to prostate cancer.

Rather than allowing tragedy to define her life, Debra chose a different path. Her journey led her to become a writer, author, and advocate for courageous living, encouraging others to rise above hardship and live from the inside out with clarity, strength, and meaning.

Debra’s story and message of courage have been featured in online television, radio, magazines, and best-selling books. She lives in Laguna Beach, California, with her husband and best friend, Cody.
