Nancy shares stories from a life shaped by service, resilience, and writing, including memories behind her memoir The Tire Swing and the healing power of putting feelings on paper. Expect honest moments about growing up in a difficult home, learning to forgive, and practical habits that sustain spiritual and emotional health: write your thoughts, find trusted support people, pray, and take time to listen. The episode explores Nancy’s hospice and end-of-life work, offering poignant takeaways about presence, listening to those who are dying, and the comforting role of faith in transition. She recounts powerful, intimate moments that illustrate miracles, the importance of spiritual readiness, and why every day is a gift. Listeners will hear how to approach fear, shame, and relationship struggles with humility and grace. Practical parenting advice is woven throughout: affirm yourself in the mirror, use the “rocking chair test” when facing tough choices, and teach children by listening well. Nancy’s warmth and faith-based perspective deliver encouragement for moms feeling overwhelmed, unworthy, or stuck — reminding them that God loves them, forgiveness is available, and support is essential. What to expect: personal stories, tangible spiritual practices, hospice insights, writing inspiration, and gentle challenges to trust God and love yourself.
