This can easily lead you to question yourself. Debbie Blacher faced this situation and moved ahead with her idea for providing wholesome food for school children. After spending years in corporate life feeling unfulfilled she is now happy and highly successful running her business that has grown into a profitable franchise. Listen in to hear her story and learn how you can take your idea and grow it into a successful franchise.   About Debbie Debbie is a social entrepreneur passionate about changing the foods we eat.  As a busy mom herself, she decided to start with kids.  Debbie found that she had a need for quick and easy school lunches, but felt responsible for providing her kids with nutritious, wholesome foods. At the time, an option that combined the two simply did not exist. In 2007, Debbie founded Wholesome Tummies with the mission of making fresh, nutritious, and exciting foods available to every child, everywhere.
