where “mindset work” fails: why your body - not your brain - is the key to breaking free of self-doubt and leading with bold authenticity.
Bold, innovative leadership requires stepping out of the ordinary - out of the status quo. But, when you are carrying around self-defeating thoughts that keep you quiet - keep you where it’s safe - it isn’t just hard to do. It’s virtually impossible. Add to that you’re affirmations have failed to shift those negative beliefs and you feel like it might be your fault.
Nancy get’s it. She spent decades spinning her wheels trying to shift her beliefs by shifting her thoughts only to discover self-defeating thoughts aren’t thoughts, they are feelings. And that means using thinking modalities to “shift” them totally misses the point. Nancy shows audiences how to use curiosity to shift self-doubt and gives them powerful tools they can implement to start stepping into bold, innovative and authentic leadership.
Key takeaways:
The science behind why “positive thinking” is the wrong tool when it comes to overcoming self-doubt.
#1 tool to access a calm, curious state - anywhere, any time - which is the key to bold, creative leadership.
Why gratitude, not boundaries, is the secret behind leading collaborative, dynamic, innovative teams.
f*#@ “mindset work”: why “positive thinking” is keeping you stuck
You know there is a bada** lurking behind your people-pleaser and you desperately want to let her out. Except you can’t because self-doubt is keeping you from doing it - keeping you stuck.
But the truth is self-doubt isn’t keeping you stuck, your affirmations are.
That’s because self-doubt isn’t a brain problem, it’s a body problem, which means trying to shift it by thinking about it is like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Nancy spun her wheels for decades using the wrong tool (“mindset work”) so others don’t have to. She helps audiences understand the science that tells us self-defeating thoughts aren’t thoughts that live in our heads, but rather are stored feelings that live in our bodies.
In this keynote, she’ll teach you how to use curiosity to identify and shift stuck feelings and provide the most effective tools to begin stepping out of being a people-pleaser and into bold authenticity in everything that you do. In other words…
into living as your bada** self.
Key Takeaways:
Self-defeating thought patterns are a result of emotions stored in the body and curiosity is the only way to unpack it.
Overcoming people-pleasing isn’t about setting boundaries, it’s about taking responsibility for our own feelings.
When we take ownership of our story with gratitude, boundaries set themselves.
Being a bada** isn’t about being defiant. It’s about living, working and playing with complete and unapologetic authenticity.

nanCY’S OFFICIAL BIO
Nancy had a lifetime full of experiences that brought BIG lessons and led to BIG growth. She also had quite a few BIG accomplishments under her belt – professional philharmonic musician, managing $16+M/year, highly sought-after fitness/nutrition instructor trainer, entrepreneur, world class triathlete… But, even with all of that and DECADES of “mindset work” (journaling… positive affirmations… self love rituals…), she still had lingering self doubt … self-defeating thoughts that kept her from showing up authentically.
Leaning into her nature of questioning the status-quo – pushing outside the box - she started to question the very tools she had been using and discovered the real problem was those negative self-thoughts weren’t thoughts at all. They were feelings. And that meant thinking about them was never. going. to. work. And so, she decided to find some new damn tools.
Nancy spent decades spinning her wheels using the wrong tools. The good news? You don’t have to. Get ready because Nancy is bringing Cliff Notes to the discussion of authenticity.
By sharing her story with raw honesty and candid humor, Nancy helps audiences understand it isn’t their fault they still have self-defeating thoughts; they’ve just been using the wrong tools. Nancy shares the science behind the idea that self-doubt lives in our bodies, not our brains, and provides tools participants can begin implementing to finally step into who they are meant to be with bold authenticity.
Deep down, most of us are tired of being constrained by rules that keep us showing up like everyone else… keep us living in the status quo. Nancy teaches us how to use curiosity to step outside the status quo and into authenticity, sure. But she also pulls back the curtain on the real secret sauce – bringing that same curiosity to how others might want to show up, which allows our friends…teams…communities to do just that: step out of mediocrity and into brilliance.
And that is how we change the world.
