Deidra Bio:
A graduate of Whitworth University and former elementary teacher and high school cheer coach, Deidra Murphy transformed her passion for education and style into her thriving consulting brand, Style by Deidra. Today, she helps clients elevate their personal style and wardrobe, strengthen their branding, and shine in pageantry. In addition to her consulting firms, Deidra and her husband of 12 years Dr. Chris Murphy, own Newedge Family Chiropractic Clinic, Southeastern Washington's largest holistic health and wellness center.
As one of the 20% of women who have struggled with infertility, Deidra felt divinely called to pursue adoption after more than five years of trying to grow her family. Four years ago, her son Declan gave her the greatest title of her life — Momma — and became the light of her world. That's when The Map to Motherhood platform was born. Through this platform, Deidra now provides hope, education, and connection to women navigating ALL non-traditional routes to becoming a mom. She shares resources through her YouTube webinar series, amplifies real stories of resilience through her podcast, and cultivates community through Facebook groups and social media, where her message now reaches more than 30,000 women.
When she's not spending time with her husband and spirited toddler, Deidra can be found serving her community across the Tri-Cities and throughout the region. After competing on the national stage over Memorial Day weekend as USOA Mrs. Washington 2025, she was honored to place as 2nd Runner-Up, and has decided to return to the same competition again as USOA Mrs. West Coast 2026. Deidra has an insatiable love for motherhood, creating beautiful charcuterie boards, and dancing like no one is watching.
