Have you ever felt like you're constantly running, doing, and giving, yet somehow you still feel empty?
In this special Book Nook Author Meet-up, we sat down with Nancy Levin, bestselling author, life coach, and expert in boundaries, self-worth, and shadow work. If you’ve ever struggled with people-pleasing, setting boundaries, or just feeling like you never have time for yourself, this conversation will be a game-changer.
Nancy shares how she went from living behind a carefully curated mask—seeking external validation, overachieving, and staying busy to avoid the truth to reclaiming her life, her time, and her own power. And she’s here to help you do the same.
What you’ll discover in this episode:
The real reason so many women struggle with boundaries (hint: it’s not about saying no)
How to uncover hidden shadow commitments that are keeping you stuck
Why busyness is often an avoidance tactic—and what to do instead
The simple but powerful morning practice that can shift your entire day
How to stop looking for gold stars and finally validate yourself
Nancy’s wisdom is eye-opening, empowering, and deeply freeing—you won’t want to miss this one.
