The Nancy Levin Show E218: For Ambitious Women: Avoid This Mistake When Life Falls Apart
When life falls apart, the instinct is to fix everything around us. But what if the real transformation begins when we stop fixing and start listening?
In this solo episode of The Nancy Levin Show, I explore what really happens beneath the surface when everything seems to fall apart — whether it’s a divorce, job loss, burnout, or simply the feeling that something isn’t right. Most of us are wired to chase external fixes, but these surface-level changes rarely lead to lasting relief.
Instead, I invite you to turn inward and ask a radically different question: What is this crisis trying to show me about myself? From perfectionism and people-pleasing to over-responsibility and emotional avoidance, I unpack the deep-rooted patterns that often lead to breakdown. And I offer a new path — one rooted in slowing down, being with discomfort, and rebuilding from a place of presence and alignment.
This isn’t about bouncing back. It’s about becoming who you were meant to be all along.
What we explore
- External fixes feel productive, but rarely heal the root cause.
- Crises are often invitations, not punishments.
- Patterns like people-pleasing and overachievement stem from early survival strategies — but they eventually lead us out of alignment.
- Healing requires slowing down, being with discomfort, and allowing clarity to emerge.
- Rebuilding your life starts by asking: Who am I becoming in this process?
