In this episode, I’m sharing the conclusion of a life-changing journey I embarked on nine years ago—a 10-day silent meditation retreat in Thailand. I’ll take you deeper into part two of my story, reflecting on how this extreme Vipassana meditation experience pushed me to confront my inner overachiever, embrace simplicity, and find a new way to relate to myself and my life. From my overachieving ‘determination’ into my breakthrough -I walk you through the final days of this retreat and some of the lasting shifts in self-care that it inspired.

In this episode, I’m diving into a deeply transformative experience from nine years ago—a 10-day silent meditation retreat in Thailand.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a meditation that accompanies the third stage of my alchemical shadow work process from my latest book, Embrace Your Shadow to Find Your Light.

Today, I’ll guide you through the meditation for the third stage: responsibility. So, find a comfortable spot, close your eyes, and allow yourself to fully embrace this moment.

In this episode of The Nancy Levin Show, I’m taking you behind the scenes of Module 1 from Levin Life Coach Academy (LLCA), where we dive into Reinvention Coaching. This is the first model every LLCA student gets certified in and is a unique feature of LLCA in that before coaching others, they first experience the process as a client. I’ll take you through the eight dimensions of reinvention, starting with vision—not as an overwhelming concept but as a clear set of ideal circumstances across different life areas. I also discuss the importance of calibration, clearing out "unfinished business" to align with your current vision, and we dive into beliefs, examining those deep stories we carry that often hold us back, so we can shift them and start moving toward what we truly desire. If you're curious about the LLCA journey or want to learn more, grab a copy of my guided journal, The Art of Change. More insights from Module 2 coming next week!

In this episode, I’m sharing a meditation that accompanies the second stage of my alchemical shadow work process, from my latest book Embrace Your Shadow to Find Your Light.  We’ll be focusing on the powerful act of surrender, which I define as releasing our stronghold on the need for things to be a certain way. Surrender is not about giving up - it’s about accepting what is – while still evolving and becoming. I’ve included an exciting addition to my book: QR codes that lead to you to these guided meditations for each stage of the process! And today, I’ll guide you through the meditation for the second stage: surrender. So find a comfortable place, close your eyes, and allow yourself to drop into this moment. If you missed the meditation for stage one—Awareness—be sure to check it out in episode 173. And, if you’re curious about diving deeper into shadow work, I have a free guide available at nancylevin.com/aware.

In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with my dear friend David Kessler, to talk about his groundbreaking work on grief and healing. David shares insights from his Finding Meaning Workbook, which offers powerful tools for navigating loss, trauma, and the path to meaning. We explore how grief comes in many forms—whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a relationship, or even a sense of self—and how, ultimately, healing is about reclaiming your story and becoming the hero of your own journey. Together, we dive into the non-linear stages of grief, the role of self-compassion, and why forgiveness sometimes feels impossible. David also explains why meaning isn’t found in the tragic events themselves but in how we rise afterward. This conversation is an invitation to start healing and step into the fullness of your own life.   Resources: Get the Finding Meaning Workbook David Kessler’s website   Connect with me: Newsletter  nancylevin.com Instagram Facebook

In this episode, I’m opening up about something deeply personal—my journey from perfectionism and hyper-responsibility to embracing fun and play as vital parts of life.  After a weekend with friends in Los Angeles, I realized how much I had long resisted fun, seeing it as frivolous and irresponsible. This belief was deeply rooted in my childhood trauma and the loss of my older brother. However, that weekend in L.A. opened my eyes to a new perspective: fun isn't a distraction and it doesn’t come at a cost—it's a source of energy, success, and joy.  By giving myself permission to enjoy life, I found a form of freedom and fulfillment that I had long denied myself. I invite you to reflect on what might be possible if you allowed yourself the same freedom to reclaim a part of yourself you may have denied. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.
