Debra Lee Fader Shares Powerful Story of Reinvention and Resilience on Talking About Success with Jack Canfield

On a recent episode of Talking About Success, Jack Canfield welcomed Debra Lee Fader, a former top Las Vegas entertainer turned community leader, broadcaster, and bestselling author. The episode offered an intimate look at a woman who has continuously reinvented her life, even in the face of devastating personal trials.

Debra Lee Fader began her career as a singer and dancer, headlining shows in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Puerto Rico, and on international cruise lines. After two decades at the top of the entertainment world, she made the difficult decision to walk away at the height of her career, choosing instead to prioritize faith, family, and purpose.

Her transition from entertainment led her into broadcasting, where she found new opportunities for expression and connection—including meeting her husband. Fader’s commitment to service eventually propelled her into political leadership, and she became the mayor of her Minnesota town, continuing her legacy of local impact.

In 2006, Fader’s life took an unexpected turn when she collapsed and was unable to walk. What followed was a seven-year struggle for answers, marked by misdiagnoses and medical dismissals. In 2013, she was finally diagnosed with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis. Rather than retreat, Fader leaned into her faith and fought relentlessly to regain her quality of life.

Her journey, marked by spiritual conviction and personal grit, inspired the release of her memoir, Walk by Faith with God as Your Compass. The book reflects on her decades-long transformation, offering hope to readers facing adversity of their own. The memoir also serves as a legacy for her grandchildren and a source of encouragement for anyone in need of a reminder that it’s never too late to start over.

Fader’s story, featured on Jack Canfield’s platform, illustrates the profound impact of resilience, spiritual grounding, and the courage to follow one’s inner calling—again and again.
