Loving the Fire: Deborah Santana Shares Her Story of Awakening

from HOT FLASHES & COOL TOPICS · host Hot Flashes & Cool Topics

This week, we are sharing an inspirational conversation with activist and author, Deborah Santana. In her new book, Loving the Fire: Choosing Me, Finding Freedom, Deborah shares her powerful story of resilience, self discovery, and reclaiming her voice after years of putting others first. Raised by pioneering interracial parents and married for decades to legendary musician Carlos Santana, Deborah reflects on family, motherhood, and the courage to leave a life that no longer aligned with her truth. Through stories of heartbreak, healing, spiritual growth, and global activism, Deborah’s journey offers inspiration for anyone ready to embrace freedom, authenticity, and a more purposeful life.
