Happy Sunday! 💫 I’m following up my IG story on these @farmgirlflowers from my divine, fierce lioness sister, @sarasutachan! 💫 These beauties are filling my home with the most delicious aromas and my #soultank is overflowing with love. Today, I’m also going to indulge in sweet #selfcare time with the goodies included. (Swipe to see the kit!) 💫 Friends, never underestimate the power of a note and flowers when someone is going through a rough time. 💫 Whether you pick/deliver the flowers yourself or are able to #shiplove in a magnificent box like this - you will be adding magic to their day and life to their home. 💫 Every time I walk by these flowers, they make me smile. They are gorgeous, the scent calls me to lean in and breathe deeply, and most importantly - they remind me I am loved. 💫 Thank you, Sara, for loving on me when I needed it most. 💫 Friends, Who’s day can you brighten? 💫 Who’s face will experience a smile today because of you? 💫 Whether you order fabulous flora from Farmgirl or pick a daisy on the way to your besties front door... I dare you to deliver a smile today! 💫 Smooch! 💋 💫 #FGFLOVE #flowers #WomanUP #friendship #sendlove #flowerstagram #selfcare #sunday #sundayfunday #sundayvibes #sundaymorning (at Farmgirl Flowers) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bny6BaSBuIa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ug1pxkdha61k
🔥 The latest #FireUpYourMoxie Podcast episode is ready for you. 💫 debratrappen.com/moxiepodcast 💫 This is a powerful, vulnerable fire up chat with a fellow #PWe3 power woman and one of the most focused, fierce lionesses I know - Mizzzzzz @HeatherOzur. 💫 She is a REALTOR® (20 years) and is with Keller Williams Realty, specializing in residential property in the Greater Palm Springs, CA area. Heather is also the 2019 @womenscouncil President and has served on ooooooodles of committees and boards during her dynamite career. 💫 The two of us get REAL and raw and dig into (and expose) topics most of us are too nervous to share. Just wait. The more you hear her talk about how she sometimes feels misunderstood on her journey - the more you will truly know her. Oh, and I'm betting you will learn something about yourself along the way, too. 💫 Hmmm, like... 👉 Do you have an RBF or HCF? Listen in and find out what that means and so much more! 💫 If you have questions for us, drop a comment below or shoot me a DM. 💫 I pray this chat blesses you as it did me and those who heard it live. 💫 xxoo 🎬🎤🎧 Want other listening options? 👉 stitcher.com/podcast/debra-trappen/fire-up-with-debra-trappen 💫💫💫 #WCW #WomenInRealEstate #WomanUP #WomenInLeadership #WomenWednesday #WomensCouncil #moxie #sassy #womenempowerment #womenwisdomwednesday #womenwisdom #womeninspiringwomen https://www.instagram.com/p/BnpUncFBltC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1usp4iaa895cu

Today is #WomensEqualityDay. . I love that there is a day to honor those who fought so I could vote AND live my purpose out loud. Literally. . This year, so many empowering moments filled my days that would never have been possible without women’s right to vote or use her voice in public. . The ones that stand out the most have to do with the #WomanUP Movement I’m blessed to partner on with @sarasutachan @lappletony and an amazing pride of Lionesses. (Many - not all - pictured here!) . Together, we are inspiring women to be brave and take steps toward making their biggest dreams come true. . Friends, it’s such a gift to find your tribe. One that honors your life's purpose. . Don’t give up on finding yours. . My #LionessPride REJOICES & revels in how I use my moxie to fire up and empower women. They encourage me to be brave, embrace new ways to inspire others to step into their divine greatness, and find/create opportunities for me to ignite others and speak life into them. . We all believe we are better together AND we have fun along the journey to making tomorrow better than today. . 🦁WHO is in your Lioness Pride?🦁 . Let me know below by giving her an honor-filled shout out and starting her week with some sass, moxie, and 🔥! . Oooooh! AND don’t miss my latest podcast episode on Empowering Your L.I.O.N.E.S.S. Pride! debratrappen.com/lioness-pride . While you’re there don’t miss the feisty chats with so many of the fierce females I know, including: @barbbetts @lorinamazi @lisad4re - and so many more to come! . Smooch! 💋 . 👑 👑 👑 Not familiar with what Women’s Equlity Day is? The date was selected to commemorate the 1920 certification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, granting women the right to vote. This was the culmination of a massive, peaceful civil rights movement by women that had its formal beginnings in 1848 at the world’s first women’s rights convention, in Seneca Falls, New York.
#Birthday Shenanigans continue! Thank you @nbergdahl @ladyonthegogo @brittabrediger and Tina for a fun night out with wine, live music, and lots of laughter.

Today’s #MoxieMemo is a sassy manta I’d love you to repeat after me: I’m gracious, tenacious, courageous, and AUDACIOUS. I’m an overcomer who conquers each and every obstacle that comes my way. I’m ready for divine success and embrace being a moxie-filled magnet for money because the more I have the more I can give. Now is the time. This is the place. I am the one. Join me and let's slay dragons together. . Now, say it again - this time stand up, put your hands in the air, and shout it out in your sassiest voice! . That feels amazing, right? (If you didn’t do it with us, you’re only cheating yourself out of an amazing experience... so go back and do it now!) . My Dearest, You are worthy of success and joy. CLAIM IT. I’ll stand in agreement with you! xxoo . #moxie #empoweringwomen #womensempowerment #wordstoliveby #wordsofwisdom #wordsofencouragement #womanUP #fireupyourmoxie #fireup
The CBBain #GlobalLuxury Soirée was divine. It was wonderful celebrating and sharing time with these two spectacular women! Barb (in white) was my broker when I was a REALTOR and 14 years later I’m honored to call her a dear friend. @jen.johnsen.cameron and I met at a @wcrseattle meeting years ago and we have enjoyed ooooooodles of laughs, sips, and shenanigans. She is now the Director of Global Luxury for CBBain and I’m so thrilled our worlds are woven together even more! Having these women in my #LionessPride makes me stronger, wiser, and better. Who’s in YOUR pride? Remember, choose them wisely... xxoo . . #friends #lionesses #champions #ablondeabrunetteandaredheadwalkintoabar #ilovemyfriends #powerwomen #womeninbusiness #womeninbiz #womeninrealestate #ladyboss #bosslady #fireupyourmoxie (at Coldwell Banker Bain Global Luxury of Lincoln Square)
Today I was able to work outside on my beautiful deck - ALL DAY. My hours were packed with awesome calls, writing proposals for #WomanUP, breathing fresh air, and sipping more than a few delish passion, mango iced teas (with a biodegradable straw) and ooooooodles of mint! Days like today bring me so much joy. Loving what you do is important... and so is loving WHERE you do it! Where is your favorite spot to work these days? xxoo . #entrepreneur #entrepreneurlife #lovewhatyoudo #lovewhereyoudoit #icedtea #deckday #workoutside #fireupyourmoxie #fireupyourlife #ladyboss #bosslady (at Woodinville Wine Country)
It’s Monday! That means it’s time for a #MoxieMemo... . Today’s was inspired by a conversation I had with a new client. . She was fighting her next step (stepping into a CEO role) and holding herself back with limiting beliefs and thoughts of inadequacy. . Her company was suffering because of her lack of faith in herself and she couldn’t see it. . When we flipped and reframed her self-talk - SHE WOKE UP. . She realized that when she embraced the leader within and lived her purpose out loud - it inspired others to do the same. That lit her up. . Working from there - everything else fell into place. . Dearests, Sometimes you need to flip your perspective to find inspiration and truth. What thoughts do you need to flip so the breakthrough you seek can find a way? xxoo . . #fireupyourmoxie #wordstoliveby #wordsofwisdom #wordsofencouragement #empoweringwomen #womensempowerment #moxie #sass #fireup #ladyboss #bosslady
