Hello, and welcome back to Empower with Nancy.Have you ever reached a point in your life where you’ve accomplished so much, but you still find yourself asking:“Is this really what I want now?”Here’s the part we don’t talk about enough: sometimes feeling stuck isn’t a sign that something is wrong. It may be a sign that you’ve outgrown the life you once wanted.In this episode, we’re going a little deeper into that question.I’ll share why knowing what you used to want can make it harder to recognize what you want now, and what may be keeping you from being honest with yourself.As you listen, you may feel a little uncomfortable, but also relieved. You’ll start looking at your goals, choices, and expectations from a different perspective.And I want you to try something simple: pause and ask yourself, “If nobody expected anything from me, what would I choose for my life right now?”Don’t answer with what you should want.Answer honestly.Listen to Episode 04 of What Do I Want Now? and let’s uncover the question you may have been avoiding.Remember, you have full control of the wheel!With much Love and Hugs,NancyLearn more about Nancy Davidson through the following links: https://empowerwithnancy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/empowerwithnancy/ https://www.facebook.com/empowermentpathways https://www.linkedin.com/in/empowerwithnancy/ https://www.youtube.com/@EmpowermentMentorNancy

What if it’s not too late… but you’ve simply been telling yourself that it is?At some point, many of us start putting an invisible expiration date on our dreams.We tell ourselves, “I’m too old.” “I waited too long.” “People will think I’m crazy.” “I should just stay where I am.”But what if wanting something different doesn't mean you're unhappy or ungrateful?What if it simply means you've changed?In this episode, we’re going to look at what may really be keeping you from making a change, and why the risk of staying exactly where you are may be bigger than you think. We’ll also talk about why starting later in life doesn't mean starting from scratch.As you listen, you'll learn how to look at change with more clarity, question the fears holding you back, and see your experience as an advantage rather than a limitation.→ Try this after listening: Write down one thing you've been saying is “too late” for you. Then ask yourself: “What's one small step I can take toward it this week?” Nancy recommends starting small rather than trying to change your entire life overnight.And here's the question I want you to sit with:Five years from now, you'll be five years older either way. Who do you want to be when you get there?Listen to Episode 03 and let's find out what might be possible when you stop asking, “Is it too late?” and start asking, “If not now, when?”Remember that you have full control of the wheel.With much love and hugs - NancyLearn more about Nancy Davidson through the following links: https://empowerwithnancy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/empowerwithnancy/ https://www.facebook.com/empowermentpathways https://www.linkedin.com/in/empowerwithnancy/ https://www.youtube.com/@EmpowermentMentorNancy

You've created a life you once prayed for.And yet, something inside you is asking for more.Here's the thing: being grateful for your life and wanting something different can both be true at the same time.In today's episode, we're talking about why feeling unfulfilled doesn't mean you're ungrateful, and why that quiet feeling you've been pushing aside might actually be trying to tell you something important.As you listen, you may feel seen, relieved, and maybe even a little uncomfortable, in the best way. You'll learn how to stop judging yourself for wanting more and start getting honest about what you want in this next chapter of your life.→ Try this: Take 10 quiet minutes this week with no phone and no distractions. Write down what you're deeply grateful for. Then underneath it, write: “And I'm ready for more.” Don't overthink the answer.
