The Coming Out Chronicles

That moment: your palms are sweating, your stomach is churning and you're full-on scared. You have to tell someone something. About yourself. About your life. You don't know how they'll take it. You fear the worst. That's a "coming out" moment. Whether you're LGBTQ2S+ or not, you'll be inspired by Nancy Shadlock, CEO and Founder of Centered Life Coaching and her guests as they explore "coming out" stories of all kinds. Listen in weekly as people talk about coming out as trans, as a sex therapist, or share coming out about domestic abuse they've endured. Meet everyday people getting their brave on. We're all hiding in closets of our own making. Everyone has a different story. We are always evolving. We can shed what's no longer true for us. Be inspired by those who left the closet for something better and are willing to talk about it to help you find the courage to rock the next evolution of your own coming out story. nshad.substack.com

  1. Holiday tips with Ted Lasso

    Holiday tips with Ted Lasso

    Merry Christmas! Whether you're having a wonderful time with family or simply making it through – I see you, and I want to remind you of something important. During these days that can be particularly emotionally charged, please remember to check in with your inner child – that younger version of yourself that might need some extra care right now. If you find yourself overwhelmed by emotions or frustrated with certain relationships, it's okay to take a step back. Listen to what that little inner voice needs in the moment. When we truly commit to nurturing that part of ourselves, we create the boundaries and joy we need for a more peaceful life. You might notice I'm channeling a bit of Ted Lasso today (and yes, this is the same person who's been saying I’m making a shift to showing up more fully as Nancy Shadlock lately!). But you know what? It feels right. These different aspects of who we I am – they're all connected. I'm embracing the playfulness in me, moving away from being serious all the time. So here I am, sometimes Ted, sometimes Nancy, always Divinely me – hoping these reflections might resonate with you too. Remember, you've got this. Whatever this season brings, you have the wisdom within to take care of yourself in the way you need. Wishing you peace and joy, ~Nancy (ted) Get full access to Nancy Shadlock at nshad.substack.com/subscribe

    087: Learning to Trust your own Voice with Jennifer Knapp.

    Jennifer Knapp is a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter, author, speaker and advocate. Her impressive history includes selling over one million albums with her first three releases Kansas (debut 1998, Gold-certified), Lay It Down (2000), and The Way I Am (2001). She has earned four Dove Awards and two Grammy nominations. The Kansas-born musician has toured the globe with artists such as Jars of Clay and was featured on the Lilith Fair Tour in 1999 and 2010. Knapp received critical acclaim for her human approach to the divine, with The Los Angeles Times calling her “a rising star” and People Magazine describing her as “an uncommonly literate songwriter.” As the first major artist in the Christian music world to speak openly about LGBTQ identity, her unique position created opportunities for national dialogue, including appearances on Larry King Live and the TEDx stage. In 2012 Knapp founded the non-profit organization Inside Out Faith, through which she continues to speak and perform nationally as an advocate for LGBTQ & faith issues. Today on the pod she speaks about: Her Coming Out Story. Her Alter Ego Big Delores. What was really going on when she stepped away from music for a few years. How heteronormativity has shaped our spirituality for so long. Her next Coming Out Chapter. Jennifer Knapp has been a very helpful resource to me in my own coming out, and I was delighted to be able to speak with her, and share our conversation with you. My hope is it will help you on your own coming out journeys. May we each find our own authentic voice... and share that with the world. • Facebook: (Centered Life Coaching) • Instagram: (Nancy Shadlock) • Website: www.centered.ca • Want to have a session to reclaim part of yourself that you've lost along the way?  Maybe it's your voice... to help you speak your truth, or maybe you've lost your ability to be playful.

    085: Embracing our own Internalized Homophobia with Nadjeschda Taranczewski

    Nadja is a powerhouse of a coach and someone that I have personally learned so much from in the past year.  I love that in this episode she shares vulnerably about her own internalized homophobia even though she's been married to a woman for years.  She teaches us some tools to work through this and inspires us to live whole lives. If you would like to take Nadja's Money mindset course from her institute Conscious U, the next cohort starts in February.  Sign up for CU Money here: https://www.conscious-u.com/cumoney/ The Tag line for the course is: Do what you Love... With and Without Money!   I love that and am living into it in my own life! If you'd like to experience a block party with me, you can sign up here: www.centered.ca/workwithme As always, I'd love to hear from you if you enjoyed this: nancy@centered.ca Get full access to Nancy Shadlock at nshad.substack.com/subscribe

    084: Quitting... with Nancy Shadlock, and kind of Annie Duke

    I share my synopsis of Annie Duke's book Quit. She shares so many helpful ideas of how to know when it's time to quit and how to do it well.  It really stretched my opinion of quitting from a judgement of being a bad thing, to it being a really good thing. I hope it stretches you to think about times you maybe should have quit sooner in the past, or gives you courage and tools for quitting something that's not working for you right now. If you'd like to share a quitting story from your past that others can learn from, you can record it here and we may even include it on the show if you'd like: https://anchor.fm/comingout/message And if you're ready to quit something but it feels too scary, send me a message and I will be your quit coach.  Nancy@Centered.ca Get full access to Nancy Shadlock at nshad.substack.com/subscribe
