In this episode of The Nancy Levin Show, I sit down with Sara Surani—an activist, entrepreneur, educator, and co-founder of She is the Universe—to explore the transformative power of storytelling, identity, and intergenerational healing.  Sara shares her journey as a first-time author of her debut poetry and prose collection, Songs of My Grandmother, and how her hyphenated identity as a Pakistani-American shapes her work.  Together, we delve into the importance of honoring our ancestors, processing grief and hope through community, and reclaiming feminine strength.

Feminine wisdom, anger, and resilience are powerful tools for transformation and social change. Colors can be used as an emotional lens to understand and organize our feelings.

In this special episode of The Nancy Levin Show, I’m reflecting on a milestone—turning 60—and the journey that brought me here.  Fifteen years ago I found myself at a turning point. I was living a life that looked perfect on the outside, yet I was completely disconnected from myself. One weekend I attended a retreat led by my dear friend Debbie Ford. Debbie asked me a question that still reverberates in my bones, because it led to a moment of truth that changed everything and set me on a path of deep inner work, personal transformation, and self-liberation.  It wasn’t easy—healing never is—but choosing myself again and again led me to the life I have now –  a life of authenticity, freedom, and alignment. In this episode, I’m sharing some of the lessons I’ve learned over the past 15 years, the incredible transformational power of saying yes to you, and why it’s never too late to rewrite your story.   What we’ll explore together: How transformation isn’t instant—it happens in small, consistent choices. Why choosing yourself—even when it’s hard—is the most courageous act of all. The cost of staying stuck is greater than the discomfort of change. You don’t have to wait for the “right” moment—your true life begins when you choose yourself. Your shadows aren’t something to fear; they are a doorway to freedom. It’s never too late to begin again, at 30, 45, 60, or beyond.   I hope this episode serves as an invitation for you to reflect on your own journey and the choices ahead. Remember it’s never too late to say yes to you, and begin living your truth.

Does the thought of saying no stir up guilt, fear, or resistance in you? If so, you’re not alone. In this episode of The Nancy Levin Show, I’m unpacking one of the most misunderstood concepts in personal growth, relationships, and boundaries—saying no.  Many of us have been conditioned to believe that saying yes is the path to being a good person. But what if saying no is actually the most generous and loving thing you can do? Join me as I challenge the myth that people-pleasing is kindness and show you how to reclaim your time, energy, and authenticity by embracing the power of a confident, compassionate no. What We’ll Explore Together: Why people-pleasing isn’t generosity—it’s fear in disguise. How overcommitting is actually draining, not virtuous. The hidden cost of saying yes when you really want to say no. How saying no strengthens your relationships and inspires others. Practical steps to set clear, guilt-free boundaries. Key Insights: Every yes is a no to something else—choose wisely. Boundaries are bridges, not barriers—they foster deeper connections. Saying no doesn’t make you selfish; it makes you self-honoring. A clear, confident no leads to a more aligned, fulfilling life. Practicing small no’s builds the courage for bigger, life-changing ones. Ready to reclaim your time and energy? Start practicing your intentional no today!    Connect with me: Newsletter  nancylevin.com Instagram Facebook  

Have you ever achieved a BIG goal you worked so hard for...only to feel empty or  unfulfilled afterward?  In this episode of The Nancy Levin Show, I’m challenging a belief that so many of us have held onto— the idea that goal-setting is the key to success. While goals can be powerful, they can also become traps—driving us into exhaustion, disconnecting us from what truly matters, and even making us feel like failures when life doesn’t go as planned. Together, we’ll explore how to redefine success from an internal lens, uncover the hidden shadow commitments that might be driving some misaligned goal-setting, and create a relationship with achievement that nourishes your soul instead of depleting it.   What we’ll explore together: The hidden costs of goal-setting that no one talks about. How external validation keeps you chasing the wrong goals. Why achieving a goal doesn’t always lead to fulfillment. How to uncover your shadow commitments and release them. A new way to set goals that align with your soul.   PLUS If you’re ready to break free from outdated goals and create a life that’s aligned with your truth, I invite you to explore Your Inner Eclipse, my 8-week group coaching experience. Together, we’ll dive deep into shadow work, self-inquiry, and personal transformation so you can step fully into your power. 🔗 Join me at nancylevin.com/eclipse   Connect with me: Newsletter  nancylevin.com Instagram Facebook
