Let me tell you, the most important things that women do are (by) women in their 50s and above. If you look at your history book, because (of) all those experiences: treasure yourself, even if you need to write your own book of what you've done and leave it behind for the next generation. “ - Dr. Deborah D. RoebuckSome takeaways:-Be open to what’s calling to you. Deborah became a nurse in 1976, specializing in maternal child health. She found herself yearning to be a midwife. She happened to be reading a magazine, and it said: be a nurse midwife at the University of Utah. Did she know where the University of Utah was? She interviewed, was accepted and drove out to Salt Lake City from Philadelphia - after just getting her driver’s license! She says it was one of the best things she ever did. -Don’t believe the naysayers. Deborah’s high school chemistry teacher told her she wasn’t college material. Her father wanted her to take typing and bookkeeping. She took those courses, but she also took physics and calculus on the side, because she had higher expectations for herself. Deborah has faith that she’s not an accident. She’s here to accomplish something and to make a mark in this life.-Always be learning. Deborah shared something her niece told her: if you’re in a room, and you don’t learn anything new in the room, you need to get out of that room. You need to be in a room where you’re uncomfortable, where you don’t understand everything because that will pull you to learn.About the guest: Dr. Deborah D.
