123: Creating Lasting Impact: Debbie Simmons on Building a Legacy of Hope

In this heartfelt two-part conversation, host Megan Babcock sits down with Debbie Simmons to explore the themes of resilience, grief, and the transformative power of purpose. Debbie’s journey began with unimaginable loss—the death of her quadruplets—yet out of that pain emerged a legacy that continues to touch countless lives. As the founder of Anchor Point and a Legacy Coach through The Debbie Simmons LLC, she helps families, leaders, and entrepreneurs build lives rooted in faith, healing, and intentional impact.

Across the episode, Debbie shares her story with vulnerability and wisdom, offering practical steps for walking through grief and stepping into purpose. This is a conversation for anyone who has ever faced loss and wondered if hope could rise again.

In Part 2, Debbie shares how her personal healing journey led to her work as a Legacy Coach, equipping entrepreneurs, leaders, and ministry founders to align their calling with intentional impact. Together, Megan and Debbie discuss the barriers that keep people from stepping fully into their purpose and the practical steps anyone can take to begin building a legacy that lasts.  

Debbie’s wisdom is grounded not only in her faith but in her lived experience. Her message reminds us that while pain may refine us, it does not define us.
