• E229: Resentment: The Hidden Truth People Pleasers Need to Hear

  What if resentment isn’t your enemy — but a signpost? Many of us carry resentment quietly — that slow burn that shows up as tension in our bodies and heaviness in our hearts. We tell ourselves it’s because of what someone else did or didn’t do. But the truth is, resentment doesn’t begin with them. It begins with us. In this episode, I explore how resentment is not your enemy, but your teacher — a sacred signal pointing you back to your unmet needs, forgotten boundaries, and the parts of you longing to be honored again. When you learn to listen to resentment instead of judging it, it reveals the exact places where you’ve been abandoning yourself in the name of peace, approval, or belonging. This isn’t about blame. It’s about freedom — the kind that comes from reclaiming your voice, your choices, and your truth. What we explore: The real root of resentment and why it’s never just about someone else How crossing your own boundaries leads to self-abandonment Why resentment is actually grief — not anger Compassionate practices for transforming resentment into self-honoring How to hold your boundaries even when guilt or fear arises   When resentment rises, it’s an invitation to pause, listen, and return to what’s true for you. You don’t need anyone else to change. You only need to stop betraying yourself. The freedom you’ve been seeking isn’t out there — it’s waiting within you.   Connect with me: Newsletternancylevin.comInstagramFacebook

• E228: When 'Success' Isn't Enough: The High Achiever's Path to True Reinvention

  Have you ever checked all the boxes of success, only to feel restless, stuck, or quietly unfulfilled? If so, you’re not alone. So many high achievers and people-pleasers wake up one day realizing they’ve built a life that looks perfect on paper—but doesn’t feel aligned in their heart. In this solo episode, I share the truth about what happens when we ignore the whispers of our heart and settle for “good enough.” I’ll guide you through the hidden cost of overriding your inner knowing, and why those whispers aren’t distractions but sacred signals leading you back to yourself. Most importantly, I’ll offer practical ways to start listening again—without needing to have it all figured out. Reinvention isn’t about starting over. It’s about remembering who you truly are, and daring to honor that truth in your everyday life. What we explore: The difference between the life you’ve built and the one your heart is calling you toward How high achievers override their inner voice in the name of practicality or perfection The long-term cost of ignoring your own truth (and how it shows up in daily life) Why whispers of restlessness are actually signals of alignment Three simple ways to start listening to your heart today How reinvention is a return to your essence—not a leap into the unknown   I’d love to support you inside my nine-week Reinvention Coaching program, designed to help you dissolve resistance and live in alignment with your truest self.

• E227: How High Achievers Can Use Shame to Their Advantage

  When we spend our lives hiding the parts of ourselves we fear others will reject, we unintentionally reject ourselves first. In this episode, I explore how the stories you’ve tried to bury — the ones you’re convinced make you unworthy — can actually become the most powerful catalysts for your freedom, fulfillment, and authentic self-expression. I share my own journey of carrying shame through my affair, abusive marriage, and divorce, and how living in secrecy only deepened my disconnection from myself. I want you to know: the very pieces you’ve worked so hard to conceal might be the keys to your wholeness and to leading, loving, and living with your full voice.   What we explore: Why shame feeds on secrecy and how to stop letting it silence you. The hidden cost of performing instead of living authentically. How to reframe shame as a source of empathy, resilience, and insight. Three steps to transform your story from a source of fear to a source of strength. The magnetic power of vulnerability and the liberation of speaking your truth.   If you’ve been considering joining this year’s cohort of Levin Life Coach Academy, the doors are open until midnight tonight. This is your chance to say yes to yourself and the life that’s been calling you from beneath the weight of shame.

• E226: How to Become the Life Coach You’re Meant to Be with Levin Life Coach Academy

  In this episode of The Nancy Levin Show, I’m exploring one of the most seductive traps we can fall into: waiting for certainty before we take action. We tell ourselves we need the perfect plan, the right timing, or complete clarity before stepping forward—but what we’re really doing is postponing our truth. If you’ve been feeling the call to live in greater alignment, to serve others, and to step into the life you long for, this is the moment to listen closely. The life you want isn’t waiting for perfection—it’s waiting for you. And if becoming a life coach has been tugging at your heart, I’ll share how Levin Life Coach Academy can be your path to making that dream real.   What we explore: Why certainty is an illusion that keeps us stuck The difference between the life you show the world and the life you secretly long for How one moment of honesty can become the first domino toward alignment Three simple practices to move forward without a perfect plan Why courage, not certainty, is what unlocks the possibilities waiting for you How LLCA can support you in taking the next step toward the life you desire If you’ve been waiting for the right time, this is it. Enrollment for Levin Life Coach Academy is now open—your dream of becoming a certified coach doesn’t require perfection, only your willingness to take the first step.

• E225: The Confident Coach Blueprint: How to Overcome Inaction and Build Momentum

  So many of us tell ourselves we’re waiting for the right moment—the perfect plan, the perfect clarity—before we take the next step. But the truth is, that moment never arrives. And every day we delay, we quietly send ourselves the message that our dreams can wait, that we can wait. In this special bonus episode, I’m uncovering the subtle ways inaction shows up, why it takes such a strong hold on us, and how to begin dissolving its grip. More importantly, I’m sharing how we can shift from hesitation into aligned action that builds lasting confidence and impact. What we explore: How inaction disguises itself as busyness, perfectionism or endless research The hidden fears—of failure, success, and uncertainty—that keep us stuck Why inaction isn’t laziness, but a way our nervous system tries to protect us How to meet yourself with compassion instead of judgment when fear arises Why the antidote to inaction is presence, not perfection How small, simple steps compound into trust, confidence, and transformation The ripple effect that happens when you choose growth over fear   If you’re ready to rebuild self-trust, claim your expertise, and begin taking powerful, aligned action, I invite you to join me for my free masterclass: The Confident Coach Blueprint. Together we’ll walk through three practical steps to help you move from hesitation into impact.  Sign up at nancyLevin.com/masterclass.   Connect with me: Newsletternancylevin.comInstagramFacebook
