We’re looking forward to introducing you to Sandra Morgan. Check out our conversation below.
Good morning Sandra , it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? What makes you lose track of time—and find yourself again?
Writing—and everything connected to it. Whether I’m creating content, editing, laying out a book, or managing a publishing project, I can get completely lost in the process. Both of my businesses, Morgan Media & Publishing and The Network Chefs, are rooted in storytelling. One focuses on publishing and production, the other on digital marketing—but at the core, it’s all about shaping words that connect and move people. Writing is where I focus, reset, and come back to myself. I’m also working on my own book, which has been a full-circle moment. It’s a reminder of why I started all this in the first place.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Sandra Morgan. I’m a writer, editor, publisher, and the founder of The Network Chefs, a digital marketing company I launched back in 2008, and Morgan Media & Publishing LLC, which I started three years ago. Both companies are rooted in storytelling—one through brand strategy and digital content, the other through books and publishing.
At The Network Chefs, I help small businesses and entrepreneurs build a real digital presence with content that connects and converts. With Morgan Media & Publishing, I work closely with authors to edit, design, and publish their work—taking raw manuscripts and turning them into finished books they can be proud of. What makes my approach unique is that I stay deeply involved in every project. I don’t outsource creativity—I collaborate, coach, and help bring the vision to life.
Right now, I’m also working on my own book, Still Though—a personal story about a woman’s journey after 50 as she maneuvers divorce, loss, a suicide that jolts her reality, and the strength it takes to make her way through it all. It’s the most vulnerable and important thing I’ve ever written, and it’s a reminder that no matter what life throws at you, you still have the power to choose how you move forward.
Okay, so here’s a deep one: What relationship most shaped how you see yourself?
My relationship with myself—hands down. Learning how to discover, understand, and love who I am without needing outside validation has been the most powerful shift in my life. It didn’t come from a single moment—it came from going through real things, facing loss, starting over, and realizing I had the strength to stand on my own. That journey taught me that self-trust and self-respect are non-negotiable. The more I leaned into that, the clearer everything else became.
If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
Don’t listen to the teasing. Don’t shrink yourself to make others comfortable. Your height is not something to be ashamed of—it’s something to own. Hold your head up high, literally and figuratively. One day, you’ll see it’s part of what makes you stand tall in every way.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. What truths are so foundational in your life that you rarely articulate them?
My faith in God. It’s been a part of me for as long as I can remember—quiet, steady, and constant. Like breathing. I don’t always talk about it, but it’s the foundation for everything: how I move, how I recover, how I trust, and how I keep going when life doesn’t make sense. It’s not something I perform—it’s something I live.
Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. What do you understand deeply that most people don’t?
That we’ve lost our way as a country. Somewhere along the line, we stopped seeing each other as human. There’s a lack of empathy that runs deep—we scroll past tragedies, post memes about death, and try to justify violence like it’s entertainment. I watch it happen and think: This isn’t the America I grew up in. I remember a time when people cared more, listened more, and had at least some sense of shared humanity. Now, it feels like we’re numb—and that scares me more than anything.
