In this week's episode, we meet Dr. Marcea - a physician turned transformational coach, author, and speaker. Dr. Marcea Whitaker is an award-winning international keynote speaker, physician, master destiny life coach, author, and radio personality. As CEO of In Full Bloom Health and Life Coaching, she empowers professional women to break free from their personal prisons and achieve their destinies. She is the founder of Girl Boss Life Academy and Life Coaching for Business Builders, two transformational platforms that equip female entrepreneurs to harness the power of their story, redefine their mindset, build authentic platforms, and chart a clear path to life & business success.
This is a no holds barred episode. In this powerful conversation, Dr. Marcea Whitaker shares her journey from being born with a facial birthmark, through leaving a painful marriage to a narcissistic partner, to arriving at a pivotal question in her 50s: “Who Are You?” She opens up about how that question shifted everything, and how she came to believe in her infinite capacity — once actions, choices, and alignment followed. Though she is herself a life coach, she also speaks candidly about hiring a coach to guide her through transitions and self-discovery. Toward the end, she offers insight into her current mission, coaching programs, speaking work, and her vision for the years ahead.
What You’ll Learn:
- How early life experiences and physical difference (her birthmark) shaped Marcea’s identity and sense of self.
- The emotional and spiritual process of leaving a narcissistic marriage.
- What it means to truly ask “Who am I?” — and let someone hear you for the first time.
- How to move from surviving to thriving by aligning actions with purpose.
- Why even coaches need coaches — the power of external support in transformation.
