There is nothing that happens TO you that isn't also happening FOR you. The good, the bad, and everything in between serves a greater purpose. In this episode, Nancy talks about the importance of trusting your journey and trusting that every experience is happening for your greater good.  Many times when we are denied, or when things don't go our way in life, it's God's way of redirecting us towards our purpose.

.

This week Nancy sheds insight on her own journey and how learning to trust God's direction for her life has helped her in the midst of some of her greatest struggles. She shares how she's used her pain to gain strength, clarity,  and to discover who she really is; and how she's used that insight to discover the infinite possibilities for beauty, hope, wonder, and love. Listen now.

Who are you? At your core, do you know who you are? Do you know what drives your behaviors? Do you know why you do what you do?  Many people spend years and thousands of dollars going to school, getting certifications, investing in themselves so they can make themselves more marketable and more attractive to prospective employers or clients, but very few of us invest as much time or money into figuring out who we are and why we do the things we do. In this episode, Nancy explains why if you want to attain true happiness, purpose, and fulfillment you have to work from the inside out.

To quote the homie Joel Leon "Everyone wants the finished product but don't want to work through the process." Realizing your dream isn't easy, yet so many people want success without making the necessary sacrifices to achieve it.

In this episode Nancy talks candidly about the importance of sacrifice in the realization of our dreams. Until we sacrifice money, time, resources, etc. we will never be fully invested in the manifestation of our dreams and if we're not fully invested it is easier to quit when times get tough. Nancy explains why having skin in the game is a necessary factor in staying the course and how focusing on the wrong things will keep you distracted and broke!

In a time where women are trying to find their tribe, Nancy questions the authenticity of some of these organizations and if they truly represent everything they say they're about. Nancy drops a lot of gems in this episode so grab a pen and paper and tune in.
