    52 Weeks of Why - Dr Candice McDonald (NASA Employee, Empowering Women, SuccessupLife.com)

    My guest this week on #52WeeksofWhy is Dr. Candice McDonald.     Her story is one of overcoming naysayers: her 8th Grade guidance counselor told her she would never graduate & she was told she 'didn't have an office' since she didn't have her doctorate. She also overcame outright rejection: Kent State denied her Doctorate Application. She now works for NASA (take that naysayers!) and does everything she can to empower other women and kids so that they too can succeed through naysayers and rejection.  Her husband's positive COVID test was her most recent challenge and we finish our discussion talking about this.    Thank you Candice for sharing your story, your WHY, and for everything you do to make the world a better place for our children (especially my daughters!) and our community.  Check out her Website (SuccessUpLife) and join her in supporting healthcare workers and empowering women & children.  #NASA #KnowyourWhy #SimonSinek #SuccessupLife #DrCandiceMcDonald #overcome #naysayers #liveyourbestlife #choosesuccess
