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.

In this episode of The Nancy Levin Show, I’m excited to share something special with you: a guided meditation from my latest book, Embrace Your Shadow to Find Your Light. This meditation, focused on the first stage of shadow work—awareness—will help you connect deeply with your inner self and begin to reclaim the parts of yourself you may have denied or suppressed.

As you follow the meditation, I invite you to fully embrace your shadow qualities, exploring how they’ve shaped your life and how they can actually become a source of strength and wisdom. It’s a powerful process of self-acceptance and transformation.

And if you’re ready to take this work even further, I’m thrilled to let you know that enrollment is currently open for Your Inner Eclipse, my eight-week group coaching experience. This immersive program is designed to guide you through a profound journey of inner exploration, using the tools and teachings from the book as a foundation.

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. Please connect with me on Instagram, or drop me an email, and let me know what resonates with you.
