Libby DeLana, Author, Do Walk.

Deborah Kobylt Live

Libby DeLana has great hair. And she’s cool. The kind of cool so many women would love to have the balls to be, but she just is. And I’m thrilled to be interviewing this award winning ad executive, author, mega-walker, podcaster, and cold-exposure swimmer on my show today.

Libby recently wrote about her walking experiences in her new book, “DO/WALK/ Navigate earth, mind and body. Step by step. It’s a journey about walking through nature, paying attention to every step, and eventually finding an inner peace and creativity that will guide us. And it does.

We’ll talk to Libby about what drove her to walking, her high-powered advertising career, and this new journey she’s on, step by step, which includes cold- exposure swimming (not sure I could do this, but I’ll listen), sky jumping (yikes), activism, empowering and encouraging female leadership, and much more. She’s raised two awesome adult children, is single and loving the experience of where life will take her next. She also hosts the successful podcast, This Morning Walk, oh, and did I mention she’s a Clinique model? And she’s just starting, which gives inspiration to the rest of us, yes?

Please join me in welcoming Libby to our show, #DeborahKobyltLIVE, on all video and audio platforms. And invite your friends to join our conversation, too. I’m your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it’s my pleasure to have you here. And a big shout out to my dear friend, Brian Martin, for this wonderful introduction.

Christine Devine, Fox 11 News Anchor

Deborah Kobylt Live

She’s been on the air practically EVERY NIGHT in LA on Fox 11 News for more than 30 years, earning 16 Emmys and the respect and admiration from her peers, community leaders, and the public. Please welcome Christine Devine to our show today, and I’m honored to have her share HER story. And what a story it is!

Christine grew up in Arizona and lived on a Navajo reservation where her mom was a teacher and dad was a principal. Earlier in her life, mom served in the Peace Corps, and that’s where this story begins, because Christine’s birth dad was from Brazil. Christine didn’t look like her mother, who was of German descent, and her dad, Jack Devine, adopted her was she was little. She grew up knowing she was adopted by her dad, but looking and feeling different, she wondered, “who am I?” Fast forward, and shortly before her mom passed away from cancer a few years ago, she opened the pages of social media and pointed, “that’s your father.”

It’s been nearly seven years, and Christine found located him. But the rest of the story is for Christine to tell. I’ve been following her writings about finding dad on Christine’s social media, and I’ve been captivated, and absolutely riveted. The women who cares so deeply about the stories she covers, who is behind the success of the Wednesday’s Child adoption program, where nearly 500 children have been adopted since 1994, is finally finding her roots, and what she’s uncovered is astounding.

We will also talk to Christine about her successful work in the news business, along with her love of fashion and music (her husband, Sean McNabb, is a successful musician).

So much to talk about, and so excited to share Christine’s story with you. Please find our full interview on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE, and please invite your friends, too. I’m your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it’s an honor to have you join us.
