Debbie Goforth

My name is Debbie Goforth and I am the CEO and Chief Motivation Officer of Go Forth with Purpose.

I have been a metastatic (stage 4) breast cancer warrior and survivor. I publish a weekly blog on my website that shares some of the lessons I am learning on my journey with metastatic breast cancer.

I am also a speaker and am looking forward to booking my first paid speaking events in fall of 2026!

Before this venture, I spent 22 years in the retail banking and financial services field. Most of that

time was spent as a personal banker and then branch manager, with extensive networking as a

vital part of my roles.

My passion is advocacy, whether it's sharing my current journey with Healthcare professionals or legislators. I am a motivated woman who wants to share with others how to find and define their own purpose in life, whether that's professional or personal. I also love supporting other business professionals through networking and connections with others.

I grew up in Ohio and spent most of my adult life in northwest Indiana and soithwest Michigan. I am married to my husband Dave since 2012, and have two grown children who live in Arizona and Kansas. I live in Lewisville now with my husband and three cats--Curly, Kirby, and Katy.

I am honored to be a founding member of the Lewisville chapter of Global Women's Empire!
