Episode Summary: 

Do you remember the interview with psychic medium Renea Adele — where a plant medicine experience revealed her gifts? That conversation became the most downloaded episode of Alchemy with Nancy. And she’s back. 🙌

In this episode, Renea shares how her own journey with plant medicine led her to become a plant medicine integration coach. We talk about how these experiences can surface beliefs and blocks we don’t even realize we’re carrying, what healing really looks like (spoiler: it’s not always what you expect), and why integration after the journey is just as important as the journey itself.

Episode Highlights:

• How her plant medicine experience shifted her path and revealed new gifts
• The surprising fears and beliefs that surfaced during her first journey
• Why “healing” doesn’t always look the way we think it will
• The role of integration — and why it matters as much as the journey itself

✨Episode Summary

If you’ve been following along via my emails or Instagram stories, you’ve probably heard bits and pieces of this story. But today, I’m sharing it in full: the wild synchronicities and undeniable signs I received from my grandfather throughout my trip to Europe—especially in Sicily, where his family was from.

From lemons on my vision board months before I ever imagined going, to stumbling across a postcard my grandparents once sent from Taormina, to the emotional moment in Catania when I asked for a sign and got one that left me speechless—this episode is about connection, healing, and the ways our loved ones let us know they’re still with us.

🔑 Episode Highlights

• The postcard I stumbled on from my grandparents, sent years ago from Taormina, one of the places I’d be visiting.
• The wild synchronicities: meeting strangers named Joe and Nancy, stumbling across “I Love Joe,” and spotting a store named Nancy on a street named Via Giuseppe (my grandfather’s name) Garibaldi. 
• The emotional moment in Catania when I asked for a sign—and what happened next.
• Why being in the place my grandfather’s family came from made these signs land in a way I’ll never forget.

Episode Summary

In this episode, I’m joined by Amy Banocy—spiritual teacher, bestselling author of Bearing It All, and guide for women who are ready to reclaim their full energetic presence. We talk about what it looks like to listen to the whispers of your body, shift your energy from burnout to radiance, and trust the deeper “yes” that’s always guiding you.

Amy shares the personal story behind her five-day workshop Charged the F Up, including how it came through during a moment of deep disconnection—and how it’s become a movement helping women reconnect to their power through embodiment. We also talk about what gets in the way of hearing your inner voice, the real reason you're feeling “off,” and why sometimes the most important thing you can do is take a walk and cry.

This one is full of powerful reminders about energy, embodiment, and coming back home to yourself.

Episode Highlights

• How Amy received the idea for Charged the F Up during a time when she felt completely disconnected
• The connection between burnout, energy depletion, and ignoring your body’s signals
• Why embodiment isn’t just movement—it’s about presence, truth, and internal permission

• The subtle ways we override our intuition (and how to stop)
• Practices to help you regulate your nervous system and raise your energetic frequency
• Why emotional release is often the key to clarity
• How Amy is helping women live in alignment with their full energetic expression
