The end of Nancy's 26 year marriage broke her to the core.  Her subsequent split with her fiancé years later, finally woke her up that there were lessons here she needed to learn and that is exactly what she has done.  

For Nancy, it was a journey back to self as she crawled back out of her victim mindset to become the thought leader and guide that she is today.

For so long, Nancy thought she was living her own life's vision.  She was raised to be a wife and mother – with maybe a side career to go along with it. A natural caretaker, she readily stepped into that role and was good at it. Whatever passion or purpose was important to her husband, it immediately became hers. She loved their life and she loved her role in keeping it all together... until her husband had a personality break and midlife crisis.

So, when it all came crumbling to pieces, she told herself that he ruined her life.

She thought if he no longer wanted me, then she no longer wanted herself.  She was stuck in grief and blame – he broke our family picture.  He broke her.  Nancy couldn’t see anything good in her life and she certainly couldn’t see her role in any of it. She was devastated and she didn't have the tools to move forward and heal and it took her many years to recover and find herself again.

In that time, all she knew is that she wanted her life fixed. So, she dove into another relationship again, where her role was to keep it all going.  She felt whole and life was fun again.  But, the problem was that no matter how hard she tried to keep the pieces of the picture together, it didn’t work.

At the end of that relationship, she knew she had to take a deeper look at what was happening. Coaching finally opened her eyes to see the role she played in her life circumstances.  With greater emotional awareness and understanding, she discovered that she had been following a life blueprint that was not her own.   Nancy went from being "other referenced" (seeing her worth through the eyes of her husband) to self-referenced and  only needing her own self love and trust to know her worth.

Nancy is now a master life coach and international best selling author.  She learned to reinvent herself after her marriage fell apart and she uses the tools and strategies she learned over the years to inspire others to live their best life.  

She is a speaker, coach and presenter at resorts such as Rancho La Puerta. Her passion is helping others move beyond their fears and disempowering beliefs formed in their childhood.

Nancy's personal life story is a testimony to her proven methods. At the age of 61, she climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, in addition to other amazing experiences and achievements that recalibrated her way of being and became her vision for a bigger life.

Not everyone must climb a mountain to live larger. As her book well shows, each of our versions of a bigger life can be anything that brings elation, accomplishment, fulfillment, and connection with the spirit of who we are. Bigger Better Braver  provides the pathway to uncover our personal vision of what living bigger means and opens the door for a major life change.
