Playing Small Moment While Nancy was in her mid twenties and working at a ski resort, she had an injury after surgery from pushing herself too much too soon. As she lay crumpled on the floor, she was told she would never move up as a woman. The Wake Up Call Nancy was headed on a fitness trip and broke her ankle, but didn’t want to accept it. She desperately wanted to go on the trip, and hoped she could make it through. After another fall, she ended up realizing she wasn’t taking care of herself.

Book to Develop Leadership Youtility by Jay Baer What Would You Change? Nancy wishes she had taken care of her own needs: taking time off when she needed it and cutting herself some slack. Inspirational Quote “Our Deepest fear is not that we are inadequate; our deepest fear it is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant gorgeous talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. We are born to make the manifest, the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some us of it’s in all of us. As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fears, our presence automatically liberates others.” – Maryann Williamson Interview Links www.marshallpr.com www.prmaven.com Twitter: @maineprmaven LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancymarshall If you enjoyed this episode subscribe in iTunes or Stitcher Radio and never miss out on inspiration and community!
