EP#97 From Adversity to Empowerment | Debra Blackman | Empowering Family Health This episode on the Empowering Family Health podcast is with Debra Blackman. From a challenging childhood to a powerhouse in the business world, Debra shares her incredible story of resilience and triumph. Watch or listen about how adversity fuelled her determination to build Viessentially Ltd., a business dedicated to sustainable empowerment. This is a powerful conversation about self-discovery, soul purpose, and the mission to enrich lives through innovative Virtual Assistant services. Debra Blackman was born in the East End of London. Her parents lived in a bedsit, in a shared house with no hot water. Her early years were traumatic, as her family had a history of mental illness and abuse. The family moved to the countryside when the family business grew. They became respected, middle-class members of the community. Debra had a childhood that took her to a top private school, rubbing shoulders with privileged society. However, when at home and behind closed doors, she lived in fear. She has overcome adversity, and in many ways those formative years forged her resilience and determination. Debra has over 25 years of business experience with leading organisations. Through counselling Debra discovered her Soul Purpose... to leave her legacy to charity. To support her in her mission, she has her own successful international business Viessentially Ltd. The company’s culture is about supporting its people, its clients, and their ecosystems beyond. It embraces inclusivity, sustainability, and positive human impact. A business where every member is equal, where every voice matters, and without formal hierarchy. The team gives busy business owners and leaders their precious time back, through high quality outsourced, virtual administration and business development services. All with the aim of enriching lives, families, and communities. Debra’s business culture and personal values have earned her the nickname “Your Mary Poppins of The Office.
