Blossom Your Awesome Episode #73 The Comeback With Marcia MoranMarcia Moran has written over fifty business plans and helped entrepreneurs strategize over how to differentiate their companies in changing environments. After helping other entrepreneurs start their companies, she decided to found her own business consulting practice, Performance Architect, in 2012 and co-founded Positive Business DC that same year. Marcia suffered a major stroke in 2014. She applied those skills in planning and strategy as she strived to become whole. She never gave up. Over time she learned to walk again, but Marcia struggled with aphasia, a language disorder. She joined Toastmasters International® hoping to regain her speaking abilities. It helped some, but in August 2017 she discovered a technological breakthrough that minimized her speaking disability. She then pushed beyond her comfort zone to become a Toastmasters International Club Officer in 2017, then Area Director in 2019. Marcia created Stroke FORWARD because she felt there is a need to share hope to stroke survivors and their caretakers. Learning to become her own health advocate one step a time and exploring holistic methods for healing are keys to her recovery.

We have a stroke patient's perspective on healthcare from Marcia Moran on this episode of the Perspectives on Healthcare Podcast with Rob Oliver. Marcia lives in Northern Virginia with her husband. She is a member of the Baby Boomer generation. She suffered a stroke back in 2014. Here are 3 things that stood out as Marcia Moran shared a stroke patient's perspective on healthcare: · When she was released from rehab after her stroke, she was done with physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and every other therapy. She was where she needed to be, it was because her insurance company said she was done. · You can lower your risk of stroke by leading a healthy lifestyle: eat healthy, exercise and low to no alcohol consumption. · Marcia classifies holistic practitioners as “Healthcare Heroes” because they are looking at the entire individual, not just their presenting issue.

She shares with us how she continued to fight for her ability to walk and talk again even after the insurance companies had discontinued her coverage.Marcia walks us through her entire experience and the thoughts and mindset she adapted to persevere through until she was fully recovered and able to live the life she wanted. We discuss the numerous treatments she sought out and paid for herself to help her speak and walk again.A year after the stroke Marcia began writing about her experience, and then decided she was going to use those experiences to help other stroke survivors in her situation by writing a book called Stroke Forward: How To Become Your Own Healthcare Advocate...One Step At A Time. We learned that Marcia not only had to learn how to walk and talk again, but she also had to learn how to read and spell again while she was in the process of writing her book. Moran not only became a successful author, but has become a life and health coach for other stroke and brain injury survivors. As well as a podcaster, and was featured in another book called Just Say "Yes" To Life!: Stories Of Thriving After Stroke written by Stroke Awareness Oregon.Marcia Moran's Book Stroke Forward: How To Become Your Own Healthcare Advocate...One Step At A Time can be found on Amazonor by visiting her website www.strokeforward.comMarcia Moran can be found on LinkedIn----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------We continue to try our best to bring you all worthy content to help you put your life first.

She spent a lot of time in various therapies as you'll soon hear, recovered almost completely, has written a book discussing the entire experience, and is now certified as the only civilian without a medical license to provide microcurrent neurofeedback. A treatment that Marcia credits a large portion of her recovery to. DumbEnoughPodcast@Gmail.Com See you next week for our normally scheduled episode!

Stroke survivor, Marcia Moran, is my guest today. I have wanted to do an episode about this subject for a while, especially after I read her book, Stroke Forward. We talk about what a stroke isThe warning signs of a strokeEven healthy people can have a strokeThe importance of getting to the hospital as soon as possible and why BEFAST is so important. How to be your own healthcare advocateFrom her website, Stroke Forward...The morning my stroke occurred caught me off guard. I woke up and knew something was "off." I tried to text a friend to tell her that I wouldn't make coffee that morning. The text was gibberish. "Oh well," I thought. "I will text her later." I rolled over. Excruciating pain struck! Despite my throbbing headache, I drifted off to sleep. That was a mistake.Later that day, I awoke to right-sided paralysis. I had a choice to make. Try to make it down the hall so my husband could find me… or give up right there. I fell to the floor and started dragging my way toward the door, using my left hand and the carpet pile to leverage me. I am Marcia Moran. This is my story...barkbox.com/judgingmeghanSupport the show

Welcome to The Jimbo Paris Show #33- Hope to Stroke Survivors (Marcia Moran)In this episode we will be given the chance to understand what a stroke survivor is going through. “If you are a stroke survivor, never give up. There has got to be some way somewhere.” Marcia Moran is the expert to interview! Marcia Moran knew nothing about how to get “whole” after her stroke in 2014. She spent the next six years learning the answers to her particular stroke. She had aphasia, a communication disorder that, if not cured by the second or third month of recovery, it is almost impossible to overcome. She nearly conquered it three-and-a-half-years poststroke, proving that you can sometimes find a different answer to your particular problem if you continue to look.Marcia also had weakness on her right side, and the physical therapists did an excellent job guiding her through therapy while insurance lasted. But then what? She still wasn't whole. She had to find her own way. Her way was writing the book Stroke FORWARD.One step at a time,Visit https://www.strokeforward.com/ and take action!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/StrokeForward#TheJimboParisShow #Podcast #Podcasting#PodcastShow #PodcastLife #MarciaMoran#Stroke #StrokeForward #StrokeSurvivor#StrokeAdvocate #Health #Healing#ThankfulThursday #ThursdayThoughts #TherapyThursday►Watch Our Previous Episodes:Jimbo Paris Show #22- Holding on to your Passion.

“People are more generous than you think of them.” – Marcia Moran Today's featured author is a stroke survivor, business consultant, and fellow Toastmaster, Marcia Moran. Marcia and I talk about her book, her journey of recovery since having a stroke and more!! Key Takeaways: Caregivers must give themselves time for self-care. Always be willing to try again after not succeeding the first time. Keep the acronym Be Fast in mind for remembering the signs of someone having a stroke. Get as much sleep as you need. Especially as a caregiver. BE FAST = Balance (do you have it?), eyes (are you seeing clearly out of both of them), face (is it drooping?), arm (are your arms and legs working succinctly), speech (are you slurring your words?), time (to call 911 if they have these signs) Never give up and always be kind.

I don't think anyone is prepared to have a stroke, even if you've had them before, or you doctor has told you to beware. It's a life changing event. When Marcia Moran's life changed in this way she found herself laughing at everything. Perhaps that was a blessing because she was in sever pain, and couldn't talk or walk. After leaving the hospital and rehab, she pursued additional therapies like massage, acupuncture, laser, speech and neuro-feedback to name a few. As a patchwork of treatments, each offered value to help her regain capability and, moreover, confidence. She now leads Toastmasters groups in her area, which she began attending initially to help with her aphasia. Marcia firmly believes that one should try something new every day. Because, one should never believe that there is a limited time to recover. Every day is a new opportunity to to get better. Marcia has a written a book called Stroke Forward and has a website strokeforward.com.A Note On The Life Over Pain Theme Music:Emily Bielagus graciously and generously composed the lovely theme music for the Life Over Pain podcast.
