Debbie Roppo
Speaker, Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach, Founder of The Inner Empire™
Helping women strengthen the body and mind that carry their vision, because the outer empire they build is only as strong as the Inner Empire™ that sustains it.
Debbie Roppo is a Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach, Integrative Nutrition Coach, and Emotional Eating Psychology Coach, and the founder of The Inner Empire™, a whole-person framework that helps women who lead strengthen their capacity, clarity, and energy from the inside out.
Her work speaks directly to women in what many call menopause and post-menopause. Debbie calls it the Upgrade Phase, a recalibration, not a decline. A season where the wise woman of the village emerges, and leadership requires a stronger internal foundation, not more willpower.
Debbie brings heart, humor, and grounded wisdom to every stage. She has a gift for translating complex science into language that feels personal, practical, and immediately usable. Her message is both empowering and relieving, your body is not betraying you, it is asking for a different kind of support at this level of leadership.
Drawing from functional medicine, behavior-change science, and lived experience, Debbie helps women see health not as a personal chore, but as a strategic advantage. When the body and mind are supported, decision-making sharpens, energy steadies, and leadership feels more aligned and sustainable.
From women’s leadership groups and professional associations to workshops, retreats, and community events, Debbie creates conversations that are real, intelligent, and deeply encouraging. Audiences leave feeling seen, steady, and equipped with insights they can apply immediately, without pressure or overwhelm.
Whether delivering a keynote or facilitating an intimate workshop, Debbie’s presence is warm, confident, and refreshingly human. She reminds every woman in the room that her body is not an afterthought, it is the infrastructure that carries her vision, her work, and her impact into the world.
