Nancy is an entrepreneur and visibility expert whose life took an unexpected turn after a breast cancer diagnosis right before the biggest launch of her career. She opens up about how this wake-up call forced her to reevaluate everything: her health, relationships, business, and most importantly, her core values.Nancy shares a powerful anecdote about sitting in a doctor’s office, grappling with the reality of her diagnosis, and realizing that the success she’d been chasing didn’t align with what truly mattered to her. This moment became the catalyst for her “cake vs. cringe” list, a tool she now uses to identify what lights her up versus what drains her. She also dives into the art of setting boundaries, redefining success beyond external achievements, and the transformative impact of living in alignment with your core values.If you’re looking for inspiration on how to realign with what matters most—whether in your personal life, career, or health—this episode will give you both the motivation and practical steps to start today.Our Think and Grow Rich series and how it has changed lives is marked with an asterisk (*) in front of the title.
