Things You Don’t Want To Miss:

2:31 – The Nancy 101

  • When Nancy was ten, she experienced domestic violence and her parents’ divorce. She watched as her sisters combatted that experience with eating disorders, and her mother subsequently developed breast cancer. It was a lot to take in at such a young age.
  • At 16, Nancy was diagnosed with a condition that causes blindness. It’s called Retinitis pigmentosa (RP). There’s no cure for this ailment, and she’s been diagnosed as legally blind. Nancy explains she didn’t want to surrender her life to this diagnosis.
  • Nancy went to the University of Oregon where she received degrees in broadcasting and psychology. She wanted to combine those passions and find her way in broadcasting. Along her journey, she even tried her hand at careers in music and real estate.
  • In 2008, Nancy created Living Full Out. She wanted to help people overcome their obstacles and challenges in life.

13:01 – Dealing With Tragedy

  • As you go through tragedy, you have to decide whether you’ll learn from tragedy or let it define you.
  • Nancy encourages her audiences to think of destiny as a magnet. You’re going to be what you were meant to be, and you can’t let periods of suffering or other distractions pull you off course.
  • Don’t be afraid to make changes. You have this idea of what you think your life should look like. Don’t be hindered by that.

15:11 – A Rare Gift

  • Nancy jokingly suggests she and her sisters are the “Three Blind Mice.” All three were diagnosed with the same ailment around the same age.
  • Nancy sees her illness as a gift. As she meets new people, her blindness allows her to connect with them in ways she wouldn’t otherwise be able to experience.

20:35 – A Foray Into Music

  • Nancy shares her experience in the music industry. It’s a tough industry to work your way into, and if you’re not careful, you can get chewed up by it.
  • People will try anything to get ahead. She shares the shocking story of a manager who tried to get her to break her ribs in order to change her appearance.

23:53 – “Man Plans, And God Laughs”

  • We hold our plans tightly, but sometimes life takes us in a different direction. Life is like a book. It has different chapters, and each chapter has a purpose.
  • Don’t take life too seriously. Don’t be so glued to a particular chapter that you miss out on the larger story.

27:10 – An Evolving Vision

  • Nancy started out putting her career before her family. She was committed to building her career. However, she modified her dreams in order to let her life evolve.
  • Sometimes, we need to give ourselves a dose of reality. Don’t let go of your dreams, but allow your life to continue into the future. Find the vision for your future.
  • Currently, Nancy is developing a call-in element to her show. She wants her wisdom to become more accessible to her guests. She’s also in the process of writing a book.

Getting To Know Our Guest:

  • 33:30 – Among other things,  Nancy shares with us her spirit animal, an unusual talent, and her love for tacos.

🎊 ONE WHOLE YEAR 🎉

My debut memoir, “If I Don’t Laugh, I’ll Cry” has been out in the world for one whole year today. Writing this book was hard and holy work, and it’s been such a joy to see how many of you have laughed, cried, and laughed till you cried.

Thank you for the support of this book. ❤️

If you’ve read it, would you do me a *huge* favor and leave a review on Amazon and Goodreads? And would you share the book with a friend or on social media? It would mean the world to me.

And if you haven’t picked up a copy or downloaded the audiobook yet, what are you waiting for? 😉

I often wonder if he’d be a red head like Amos or if he’d be musically gifted like Lilly.

Would he love snuggling or be a boy who only wanted hugs on his terms?

Would his eyes be brown like his dad’s or would he be covered in freckles?

What would his laugh sound like? Who would be his best friend? What would his favorite book be? Would he say Gen Alpha slang words like sigma and skibidi or would he love his mom too much to do that?

Would I be mommy or mama or mom to him?

So many questions I won’t get to answers to on this side of heaven. But I think about him today, just like every day, and I hope he’s getting a slice of strawberry cake for his heavenly birthday.
