Back in October 2019, I had the profound privilege of engaging in a deeply moving conversation with Nancy Levin on the Embodied podcast. Nancy is a remarkable poet, bestselling author, and a treasured voice on Hay House Radio. 

This heart-to-heart dialogue was not just a discussion, but a journey through the transformative power of self-discovery and healing.

The impact of losing mentors: Lessons from Louise Hay, Wayne Dyer, and Debbie Ford

Nancy opened up about her life experiences, including her time with inspirational figures like Louise Hay, Wayne Dyer, and Debbie Ford. It was touching to hear her describe the significant impact of losing these three influential friends, colleagues, and mentors. Their absence has undoubtedly left a void, but also a legacy of wisdom and courage that continues to inspire.

A central theme of our conversation was the exploration of parental and societal conditioning, and how these factors shape our paths.

Last fall, I had the joy of welcoming my dear friend and beautifully authentic spirit, Nancy Regan, to the Embodied podcast. An author, professional communicator, presentation coach, and an inspiring beacon of light, Nancy had penned her first book, From Showing Off to Showing Up: An Impostor's Journey from Perfect to Presence.

About Nancy's book

Nancy’s creation is a divine amalgamation of memoir and self-help, a true call to authenticity, and a guide to living a fearless life. What touches my heart deeply about her book is its gentle encouragement for readers to embrace intimacy with themselves and to find acceptance in every fragment of their being. This approach mirrors Nancy’s journey, and her transformation is interwoven within the words, an echo of her soulful dance with acceptance.

This podcast conversation was first published on January 28th, 2021.

I had the honor of sitting down with the inspiring Naomi Irons and the illuminating Deborah Gleason for a heart-opening conversation on a topic that is, paradoxically, both deeply universal and profoundly personal: intimacy. This wasn’t just about the intimacy we share with others, but the profound connection we cultivate within ourselves, the one that ultimately shapes and deepens every other relationship in our lives.

In our hour-and-a-half-long discussion, I found myself reflecting on a thought I've been cradling for a while now: that death is perhaps the ultimate moment of intimacy. It’s a point in our lives where the veil between the tangible and the ethereal becomes so thin that it almost disappears. It's when we truly come face-to-face with the very essence of our being.
