    F*** Elizabeth Henson (lovingly & respectfully)

    Okay, so here’s how this episode came to be… On New Year’s Day, I woke up, did my meditation, grabbed my coffee, and casually enrolled in a business coaching program with Elizabeth Henson. No hesitation.No overthinking.No spiraling (which… growth). I knew she was the one to help me turn the million ideas living in my head into something real. What I did not realize was that she was also about to push me so far outside my comfort zone that I’d end up recording a podcast episode sharing my biggest, boldest, most “are we really saying this out loud?” dreams. And yet… here we are. So consider this episode a behind-the-scenes look at where Alchemy with Nancy is headed next — and why I finally decided to stop keeping these visions to myself. We’re talking: Live, local experiential eventsA quarterly book clubRetreats (including PARIS 😳)And a very small, very intentional beta container I’ve been quietly dreaming upThis episode is me saying the quiet part out loud — because apparently that’s how things start moving. What You’ll Hear in This Episode: Why I invested in business coaching — and what it immediately stirred upThe real reason great coaches are supposed to make you uncomfortableHow Alchemy with Nancy is expanding beyond the podcastDetails on the very first Alchemy book clubWhy Guided by Laura Lynne Jackson felt like the perfect place to startWhat an “illuminated life” actually means (in real, grounded terms)Why I’m organizing a retreat to Paris around the work of Hilma af KlintHow mediumship, creativity, and art are more connected than we’ve been taughtWhy I enrolled in a Neuro-Linguistics Practitioner certification with Megan BlacksmithWhat stepping into your future self actually does to your nervous systemAnd why none of this works without guides, mentors, and support 🔗 Links & Resources Elizabeth Henson Guided: The Secret Path to an Illuminated Life by Laura Lynne Jackson Listen to the Episode with Megan Blacksmith Neuro-Linguistics Practitioner Certification with Megan Blacksmith — https://becomingzesty.com/ (Megan’s site where you can find podcasts + resources) The Success Principles by Jack Canfield Hilma af Klint Foundation Let’s Stay ConnectedJoin my email list and get the latest episodes delivered straight to your inbox — and stay in the loop for future events, workshops, retreats.

    She Never Planned to Be a Medium

    So… what happens when you go to a meditation circle, start doodling in your notebook, and accidentally realize you’re channeling messages for everyone in the room? 😮 In this episode, I’m sitting down with Summer Paradiso — a psychic medium, intuition coach, Reiki master, artist, yoga teacher, and founder of Soul & Spirit — and honestly? Her story is one of those “you can’t make this shit up”journeys. Summer didn’t grow up seeing dead people or hearing voices in the grocery store. Her path unfolded slowly — through yoga, art, meditation, motherhood, and a series of moments that only made sense in hindsight. Until one night in May 2024, when everything clicked… fast. We talk about the moment she realized she was channeling information she couldn’t possibly know, what happened next (including a powerful experience painting a child in spirit), and how she learned to work with mediumship in a grounded, ethical, consent-based way. We also dive deep into her Soul & Spirit method — a blend of movement, meditation, and creative expression designed to help women clear emotional and energetic blocks stored in the body (because thinking your way out of trauma… doesn’t actually work). If you’ve ever wondered: Why your intuition feels mutedWhy you feel “stuck” even though you’re doing all the right thingsOr why your nervous system feels like it’s permanently set to fight-or-flight…this conversation is for you. What you’ll hear in this episode: How Summer discovered her mediumship completely by accidentWhy shutting off the analytical mind is key to intuition + psychic workThe ethics of mediumship (and why consent matters more than people realize)What energetic blocks actually are — and why they live in the body, not just the mindWhy creativity is one of the most underrated healing tools we haveThe connection between trauma, chakras, and feeling safe in your bodyHow clearing emotional blocks can reactivate intuition and psychic abilityWhy so many women are waking up spiritually right now (and what to do with it)Resources & Links Mentioned: Summer Paradiso Soul Inspirit Podcast

    Why January Intentions Fade by February (and the real reason why)

    So… it’s January.New year energy is everywhere. Vision boards. Fresh planners. Big intentions. And yet—somehow—we still end up doing the same damn things. If you’ve ever wondered why change feels so hard—even when you really want it—this conversation is for you. In this episode, I’m sitting down with Megan Blacksmith—speaker, neuro-linguistic programming trainer, and co-founder of Zesty—to unpack why we stay stuck in patterns we swear we’re done with… and how to actually change them without forcing, white-knuckling, or pretending to feel something we don’t. Megan blends NLP, functional medicine, and compassionate coaching—and her perspective on identity, the subconscious mind, and nervous system safety honestly felt like exactly what we all need right now. We talk about: why willpower isn’t the problemhow old identities quietly sabotage “new year, new you” plansand why your triggers are actually data (annoying… but useful)This is one of those conversations that makes you pause mid-walk or mid-dishwashing like… oh. THAT explains a lot. What you’ll hear in this episode:Why your brain loves autopilot—and how to gently rewire itThe real reason habits don’t stick (hint: it’s not discipline)How identity keeps pulling you back into old patternsWhy emotional triggers are clues, not character flawsThe sneaky ways environment shapes behaviorHow to shift patterns without reliving trauma or forcing changeWhy compassion—not shame—is the fastest path to transformationResources & Mentions:Megan Blacksmith / Becoming Zesty Want Future Episodes Sent to your inbox:Join my Email list

    My Reading with an Evidential Medium-And the Message I Didn’t Expect

    What happens when your dad, your grandfather, and multiple friends all show up in a 30-minute medium reading you booked because you were feeling “off” and a little stuck? In this solo episode, I’m sharing the story of a recent reading I had with evidential psychic medium, Keira Newton — and how it delivered clarity in the most unexpected ways. Even though I regularly connect with my grandfather and receive signs on my own, something told me to book this reading. And I’m so glad I listened. The moment the reading started, my dad came through… and what unfolded from there brought comfort, healing, and a level of validation I didn’t even realize I needed. Friends I’ve lost also stepped forward with details that left me stunned — and reminded me how supported we really are. And then came my grandfather with memories so specific (think: ice cream, car rides, and one particular town clock) that I had to go look things up afterward… and sure enough, everything lined up. The reading ended with a message I couldn’t quite make sense of at the time — but in the days after, the signs, numbers, and synchronicities got louder and louder until it all finally clicked. This episode is about mediumship, yes — but it’s also about creativity, intuitive nudges, and the way clarity sometimes arrives after the moment, in ways you can’t ignore. If you’ve been craving reassurance, validation, or a reminder that you’re not navigating life alone, I think this one will land for you. In this episode, you’ll hear: Why I booked a reading even though I already connect with my loved onesHow evidential mediumship works (and what surprised me)The emotional clarity that came through my dad’s messagesThe unexpected friends who showed up and why their timing matteredThe wild synchronicities that unfolded after the readingThe “cliffhanger” message that became a major turning pointHow creativity and spiritual alignment showed up togetherThe signs (and numbers!) that made everything finally make sense Links & ResourcesKeira Newton – Psychic MediumForever Family FoundationMy interview with Bob GinsbergTelepathy Tapes podcast Your Next Steps: Follow me on PinterestJoin my Email list

    When the Work Doesn’t Work: The Missing Piece in Healing

    Ever notice how certain patterns just keep following you around — the same relationship dynamics, the same anxieties, the same emotional loops — no matter how much healing work you do? That might be because what you’re carrying… isn’t actually yours. In this week’s episode, I sit down with Sara Daves, a spiritual consultant, mystic, and founder of Sigma Femme Society, to explore family constellations — a healing modality that helps uncover and release ancestral imprints buried deep in our nervous system and lineage. We talk about how trauma gets passed down through generations, how the body remembers what the mind forgets, and the fascinating science that explains it all — from mirror neurons to epigenetics. It’s one of those conversations that bridges the mystical with the practical — equal parts science, story, and soul — and it might just change the way you think about healing. What You’ll Learn  How ancestral patterns shape your emotions, relationships, and sense of safetyWhat actually happens in a family constellation sessionWhy mindset work and affirmations can’t reach inherited woundsThe science behind “the knowing field” (and how it connects us all)Practical ways to release what isn’t yours to carryResources mentioned Another Self  (Netflix series on family constellations)Sara's Website Sigma Femm Society  Let's Connect Follow me on Pinterest for creative inspo, book recs, and things I am cooking up.

    The Rebellion of Choosing Yourself

    I never imagined that when today’s guest, Heather Clohessy, and I were in high school sneaking smokes on the curb outside the cafeteria door (seriously—what were we thinking?!), that 30-something years later she’d be on a podcast I created—talking about how she turned her pain into purpose. Heather is a transformational coach, Reiki master, and the founder of Luminous Lite, a space for self-discovery and emotional healing. After 25 years in the corporate world, a couple of sudden losses and a health scare brought her to a full stop. What came next was nothing short of an awakening. She left her corporate career, found her way to psychosynthesis (aka “the alchemy of the self”), and built a life centered on helping others find peace, alignment, and meaning. This conversation is raw, real, and full of heart—the kind that reminds you that healing doesn’t have to look perfect. It just has to be honest. ✨ What you’ll hear in this episode: The “dark night of the soul” that led Heather to rebuild her lifeHow psychosynthesis and Reiki changed everythingThe surprising connection between intuition and emotional healingWhy rebellion can sometimes look like saying, “I’m done doing what doesn’t fit.”And how your deepest pain can become your greatest purposeIf you’ve ever felt stuck, burned out, or ready to listen to that inner voice you’ve been ignoring, this episode will meet you right where you are.
