Today we talk with Marcia Moran, a stroke survivor who fought to live a productive life post stroke.  Hearing Marcia's long battle to recovery is a true inspiration!  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.
