Descripción del Episodio

What does it truly mean for a woman to choose herself — after decades of devotion, visibility, and living at the center of global fame?

As we enter Women’s History Month, on this powerful episode of Women Road Warriors, Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro welcome Deborah Santana — author, activist, philanthropist, and former wife of legendary musician Carlos Santana. For 34 years, Deborah served as Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Santana Management, helping steward an international music empire while raising three children in the spotlight of worldwide acclaim.

But her story is far deeper than celebrity.

Born into a lineage of Pentecostal preachers and acclaimed blues musicians, and raised in an interracial family during the Civil Rights era, Deborah carries generations of resilience, faith, and spiritual conviction. She is a visionary leader, lifelong spiritual seeker, and passionate advocate for women’s education in Africa through her foundation supporting women and girls in health, education, and happiness.

In her powerful memoir, Loving the Fire: Choosing Me, Finding Freedom, Deborah shares the deeply personal journey of reclaiming her voice after decades devoted to marriage, spiritual teachers, and roles that defined her identity.

This conversation explores:

  1. Identity beyond fame
  2. Ancestry and generational strength
  3. Spiritual awakening and self-discovery
  4. Leadership behind the scenes of a global brand
  5. The courage it takes for women to step out of the shadows and into sovereignty

At its heart, this episode asks a profound question:

What does freedom look like when a woman chooses herself?

If you are navigating reinvention, healing, spiritual growth, or redefining your own power — this conversation will resonate deeply.
