Debbie Goodridge: Workers' Compensation Claims Manager at USIS/Davies

Ask Debbie Goodridge how many hats she wears, and she’ll tell you—too many to count. But that’s exactly what makes her shine. With every role she takes on, Debbie leads with heart, balance, and a strong sense of purpose. Whether she’s empowering her teammates, embracing her self-care rituals, or finding joy in the little things, she brings presence and passion to every part of her life.

For Debbie, one of the most rewarding parts of her work is hearing how valued and empowered her teammates feel under her leadership. “Hearing other teammates letting people know how much they feel part of our team—and how empowering they feel working with me—that means everything,” she shares. That sense of community and affirmation is what keeps her inspired and grounded.

Each day starts on a spiritual note: her husband sends her a morning scripture, a ritual that sets the tone for gratitude and reflection. It’s a simple, beautiful start that carries into the rest of her day. And when she recently treated herself to a perfectly fitting dress with pockets, it felt like a small but powerful win. “It’s a win-win!!!” she says, joyfully.

When asked to describe her own strengths, Debbie sums them up in three words: Health. Love. Productive. Others would add a few more—Friendly, Helpful, and Disciplined—qualities that reflect the warmth, structure, and care she brings into every space she’s in.

Outside of work, Debbie leans into creativity and calm. She recently read Verity by Colleen Hoover, and romance novels are her go-to for comfort and escape. She also loves unplugging with music—especially her ’80s playlist, lovingly curated by her husband—and finds peace in painting pallet wood, a hands-on way to stay present.

Her happy place? The spool—a cozy blend of spa and pool that always brings a smile. And when she looks ahead, there’s one thing she’s always excited for: her monthly massage, a sacred part of her self-care routine. For Debbie, self-care is practical and intentional. Hydration, exercise, meal prep, vitamins, CBD, and rest all play key roles in keeping her balanced and energized.

She’ll be the first to admit she’s not really a morning bird or a night owl—more of a "let me stay in bed as long as possible" type. Still, she’s usually asleep by 10:00 PM. Coffee, specifically BUSTELO, is a must-have, and she’s developed a soft spot for oatmeal raisin walnut CLIF bars. Sweet tooth? Activated.

Debbie’s purse is a reflection of her no-fuss, keep-it-simple mindset: chapstick, gum, her credit card, license, and glasses—just the essentials.

As a leader, Debbie uplifts other women by giving them the confidence to lead and the space to grow. She celebrates their accomplishments out loud—offering praise, sharing their wins, and fostering a culture where everyone’s success is seen and supported.

She draws inspiration from several incredible women in her life, including Dayani Yauch, Ashley Conway, and Monica Brown, all of whom she admires deeply for their strength, heart, and integrity.

In a world where juggling multiple roles can feel overwhelming, Debbie Goodridge stands as a beautiful reminder that you can lead with intention, live with joy, and care for yourself along the way. Her story is one of grace, strength, and the kind of everyday presence that leaves a lasting impact.
