About Marcia Narine Weldon

Illuminating Human Potential rooted in Leadership, Law, and Light

I’m Marcia Narine Weldon—Founder of Illuminating Wisdom®, Organizational Culture Strategist, Executive Coach, Stress Alchemist, AI Governance Architect, and proud Lawyer-Lightworker.

My approach is powered by NeuroLUCID™—a practical, brain-based method that blends science, strategy, and soul so change takes root in daily work.

Lead with Light — Principled first. Practical always.
Unlearn & Upgrade — Understand the brain and the mind, retire what drains, keep what works.
Craft the Conditions — Design the systems that do the work.
Integrate with Integrity — Tailor the change; make it the default.
Deliver What Matters — Make the impact unmistakable.

My mission is to help high achievers in high-stakes environments lead with more than competence—but with consciousness, courage, and purpose.

What Fuels This Work

After decades of outward success, I burned out—hard.

Six hospitalizations in six years for what doctors thought were heart attacks or strokes forced me to reimagine my relationship to work, wellness, and worth.

By mastering the science of stress and the energetics of sustainable leadership, I rebuilt my life and recommitted to service—on my terms.

Today, I help others unlock that same level of vitality, purpose, and powerful transformation.
