Leading Our Own Rescue with Nancy Demers

Usually, a breakthrough in our lives is the consequence of a massive breakdown; our self-preservation instinct kicks in and helps us keep going. In Nancy's case, a severe breakdown caused by job-related stress, followed by her father's death, led to three consecutive breakthroughs.

Today, I'm joined by Nancy Demers; she is a Nurse Navigator at New York-Presbyterian Medical Group from Queens and a Senior Leader at Tony Robbins' Robbins Research International. Nancy is a BLS Instructor at HeartStart Training and a Group Exercise Instructor at Zumba.

In this episode, we talked about Nancy's first breakthrough at work, how the stress at work was stealing from her time to grieve her father's death, and how overcoming that led to a second breakthrough. We talked about Nancy's work during the pandemic and her role as a nurse navigator. Nancy shared her experiences working in a toxic work environment and what she learned by rescuing herself. We also talked about her third breakthrough and how healthy it can be to pursue happiness and fulfillment in life.
