In this episode of The Nancy Levin Show, I explore the powerful concept of non-negotiables and why they’re so much more meaningful than resolutions. As we step into the holiday season and the close of another year, it’s the perfect time to reflect on what truly matters—and to shift our focus from fleeting promises—to steadfast commitments that honor our well-being. Non-negotiables can serve as anchors in our lives; providing clarity, stability, and alignment with our deepest values. We’ll also talk about how balancing connection and solitude plays into this—why it’s essential to listen to your inner needs and give yourself permission to pause. If you’re tired of the pressure of New Year’s resolutions that fade by February, this episode will guide you in creating a life centered on what you truly need and deserve.   Connect with me:  Newsletter  nancylevin.com Instagram Facebook   Grab your copy of my latest book! - Embrace Your Shadow to Find Your Light
