Career

After Oprah Winfrey discussed Ford's first book, The Dark Side of the Light Chasers (1998), on her show in late 2000, it spent several weeks on the New York Times bestseller list in late 2000 and early 2001. Her other books that made the list were Why Good People Do Bad Things (2008) and The Shadow Effect: Illuminating the Hidden Power of Your True Self (2010), written in collaboration with Deepak Chopra and Marianne Williamson.
Over the years, in a career spanning 20 years, she gave workshops and lectures across the USA and trained coaches on the 'Shadow Process'. She appeared on Oprah, Good Morning America, Larry King Live, The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch, and Fox & Friends, and was a regular contributor to Oprah.com and Huffington Post. She hosted a weekly talk radio show on Hay House Radio, titled "Shadow Talk". She produced and appeared in the documentary The Shadow Effect (2009), and also in 3 Magic Words (2010).

She appeared as a life coach helping people with divorce on ABC's short-lived reality series The Ex-Wives Club (2007). In 2012, she appeared on Super Soul Sunday (Season 2), a talk show hosted by Oprah Winfrey, airing on OWN (the Oprah Winfrey Network) in an episode titled Debbie Ford: Out of the Shadows, in which she talked about her eleven-year-old struggle with cancer.

Ford lived in the seaside community of La Jolla, San Diego County. She died at her home on February 17, 2013, after a prolonged battle with cancer, aged 57.
