218. Living Life to the Fullest with Debbie Hitzel

by Julie Lefebure | Sep 30, 2025 | Podcast

Welcome back to the Encouragement for Real Life Podcast! After wrapping up our Summer of Abundance series last week, today we shift into one of my favorite parts of the podcast—our monthly guest episode. And you’re in for a treat!

This month’s guest is someone who made a lasting impact on my life back in high school—my former coach and teacher, Debbie Hitzel (known to many of us as Coach K or Miss K). At a pivotal moment in my teenage years, God used her words to breathe belief into me, and that encouragement has stayed with me ever since.

Living Life to the Fullest with Debbie Hitzel

Debbie Hitzel will encourage you as well.

In this heartfelt conversation, Debbie and I catch up after many years, and it feels like reuniting with an old friend. We talk about:

Faith and the seasons of life
Making the most of each day we’re given
The power of speaking life into others
Living fully and joyfully, right where we are

Debbie’s wisdom and encouragement will inspire you to pause and consider: Who am I influencing? Whose life am I speaking life into? How am I impacting the world around me? You’ll be reminded that even the smallest gestures—a kind word, a simple act of love—can leave an eternal impact.

As you listen, I pray you’re encouraged to live your life well and to make each moment count.
