The HEART Approach: Resilience & Trust
The Nancy Perspective
In this final solo episode of the January HEART series, we'll explore the deep relationship between resiliency and trust, and how they form the foundation of a grounded life. From releasing the need to fight or force, to learning how to trust your body, your timing, and your inner guidance, this is a conversation about a softer way of moving through life. Resiliency is often mistaken for strength, for pushing through, or holding it together. But true resiliency is something much quieter and much more powerful. It is the willingness to remain open when life feels heavy, uncertain, or out of...

The HEART Approach: Alignment
The Nancy Perspective
Alignment is not a destination or a moment where everything suddenly feels easy. It is a daily and often uncomfortable choice to trust, and to allow your body, mind, and spirit to move together. For many of us who have lived in survival, true alignment can feel unfamiliar, even unsettling, because peace and coherence were never the norm. In this episode, I explore what alignment really is and what it is not. From nervous system regulation and reframing old stories, to learning how to observe life instead of attaching to every emotional wave, alignment becomes less about force and more about...

The Heart approach: Empowerment
The Nancy Perspective
2026 continues with a return to the HEART in another solo episode. This episode focuses on empowerment. Not the forceful kind or the push to do more, but the quiet remembering that your body already knows the way. Empowerment is not about fixing yourself or chasing goals. It begins when you notice something no longer feels right and allow yourself to choose differently with softness and trust. When empowerment comes from the body instead of the mind, movement becomes aligned and sustainable. This episode is an invitation to stop outsourcing your power and start listening inward. To notice...

The HEART approach: Your Human First
The Nancy Perspective
2026 begins with a return to the HEART. This special solo episode is about being human. Not forcing or pushing forward out of survival, but learning to feel our way forward. So many of us are doing all the “right” things and still feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or stuck. In this episode, I explore why. How our nervous systems, early life imprints, and constant thinking can keep us in survival mode, and what it looks like to soften, rest, and listen instead. Through reflection and simple HEART-led practices, we begin remembering who we are beneath the doing. Settle in, breathe, and let your...

Final Words for 2025 - 5 Minute Reflection
The Nancy Perspective
As 2025 comes to a close, I felt called to pause rather than push. This episode is a quiet reflection on a year filled with joy, grief, resilience, and everything in between. I’m sharing an invitation for you to rest this holiday season, to allow your heart to unravel in the way that feels right for you. When we choose to feel, to trust ourselves, and to move toward alignment, we begin to remember who we are and how worthy we truly are. As we head into 2026, I hope this episode reminds you of your strength, your humanity, and the magic that unfolds when you choose different. I’ll be back...

Solo Episode - Coming Home to Yourself
The Nancy Perspective
We're back with another unscripted solo episode to open up about my journey, my recent guests, and practices and perspectives that are shifting the way I've been moving through life. This episode is about the path of choosing empowerment, awareness, and growth, even when it's uncomfortable. I explore how our frequency and vibration shape our lives, how softness is its own form of resilience, and how learning to trust ourselves is the foundation of everything.

Resiliency is often mistaken for strength, for pushing through, or holding it together. But true resiliency is something much quieter and much more powerful. It is the willingness to remain open when life feels heavy, uncertain, or out of control.
Resiliency is not about endurance. It is about openness. Trust is not about others. It is about yourself.
As we close this chapter of HEART, I invite you to place a hand on your heart, take a breath, and remember that everything you need to move forward already lives within you.
