In this energetic episode of Seven Points, hosts Warren Trent and Sgt. Kameron Lee take the show on the road to the DPS Wellness Center, where they sit down with Deborah Goodwin, a longtime DPS employee and passionate wellness coach. Blending humor with heartfelt insight, Deborah shares her unique journey from elementary school teacher to marathon runner to fitness advocate within the agency.

With 18 years at DPS, Deborah brings both experience and relatability to her role. She opens up about her own transformation, including overcoming weight challenges and discovering the power of strength training. As a Boston Marathon qualifier and ultra-distance runner, she offers a perspective that combines mental toughness, discipline, and the importance of finding what works for each individual.

The conversation highlights the agency’s growing commitment to wellness and the importance of making fitness accessible and non-intimidating for everyone.

From motivation and accountability to practical tips on exercise and nutrition, this episode delivers both inspiration and actionable advice. It is a fun and informative look at how DPS is empowering its people to live healthier, stronger lives—one step at a time.
