In this episode of the Doing What Matters podcast, I'm joined by special guest Nancy Bouwens, a certified coach and executive assistant at REALIFE Process. As a passionate advocate for the power of reading, Nancy shares her action plan to achieve her goal of reading 52 books in 2024, aiming for one book per week. Nancy's deep love for reading, dating back to 3rd grade, is evident as she discusses her favorite genres, including faith-based, personal development, novels, and books that challenge her perspective. She also emphasizes the impact of books in expanding horizons, learning new things, and deepening connections. Nancy Bouwens' commitment to reading is not only inspiring but also practical. She shares her strategies for incorporating reading into her daily life, such as listening to audiobooks while exercising, working, before bed, and first thing in the morning. We also delve into the transformative power of books during life transitions and challenges. Join us on the journey this year. Embrace the power of books, and set your own reading challenge in 2024.
