Hey Uplifters,

Dr. Marcia Morgan is a force of nature who has dedicated her life to giving women a voice in some of the toughest environments imaginable. From pioneering as one of the first female law enforcement officers in the 1970s to advocating for incarcerated women, Marcia has faced down challenges with grace, grit, and an unshakeable commitment to justice.

In this episode, Marcia takes us on a journey through her remarkable career, sharing stories of breaking barriers in male-dominated fields and the vital importance of maintaining your sense of self while blazing trails. She opens up about her current chapter of life, exploring new passions and rediscovering the joy of curiosity and play.

Marcia’s book, "GO: How to Get Going and Achieve Your Goals and Dreams at Any Age," distills her wisdom into practical advice for women of all ages. She emphasizes the power of mindfulness, self-reflection, and surrounding yourself with supportive people who uplift your dreams.

This conversation is a reminder that it's never too late to go after what you want – and that the journey itself can be just as rewarding as the destination.

5 Uplifting Lessons:

1. Embrace mindfulness and regular self-reflection to stay connected to your goals and values.

2. Surround yourself with supportive people who encourage your dreams and growth.

3. It's never too late to pursue new passions or revisit childhood aspirations.

4. Use visual reminders or "goal objects" to keep your dreams at the forefront of your mind.

5. Maintain your authentic self even when pioneering in challenging environments.
