Awakening Hearts, Ascending Souls

True Intimacy Requires The Death Of Who You Think You Are

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 23:36:58 GMT

AWAKENING HEARTS ASCENDING SOULS

EPISODE SUMMARY

You can be successful, admired, even deeply loved…

and still feel completely alone.

In this powerful episode, Nancy reveals the hidden truth behind why so many high-performing individuals struggle with intimacy, connection, and emotional fulfillment—despite having everything they thought would bring them happiness.

This is not about communication techniques or relationship strategies.

This is about identity.

Because the truth is…

you cannot experience real intimacy while living behind a version of yourself that was created for survival.

If you’ve ever felt unseen, disconnected, or like no one truly gets you—this episode will open your eyes to what’s really happening beneath the surface… and what it actually takes to experience deep, soul-level connection.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

Why you can feel lonely even in a relationship
The difference between connection and true intimacy
How your survival identity blocks love, closeness, and emotional safety
The hidden ways high performers “perform” in relationships
Why you struggle to receive love (even when it’s right in front of you)
The real reason relationships lose depth, attraction, and connection over time
How childhood conditioning and past experiences shape your ability to be seen
The spiritual foundation of true intimacy and being fully known
What it actually takes to experience deep, lasting connection

KEY TRUTH FROM THIS EPISODE

“Your identity determines the depth of love you allow.”

IF THIS EPISODE HIT YOU…

You may be someone who:

Feels disconnected in relationships, even when things look “good”
Struggles to fully open, trust, or be vulnerable
Has built success externally but feels something is missing internally
Finds yourself overthinking, pulling back, or needing control in love
Craves deep connection but doesn’t know how to access it

This isn’t because something is wrong with you.

It’s because the version of you that learned how to survive…

is now blocking the intimacy you were created for.

THE INVITATION

There comes a moment where you realize:

You don’t need another strategy…

You need a transformation.

This is the work of shifting from your survival identity

into your true identity-the version of you that is safe to be seen, safe to receive, and capable of experiencing real intimacy.

PRIVATE WORK WITH NANCY

If you’re ready to go deeper, Nancy offers an exclusive experience designed for those who are no longer willing to live behind the mask:

Identity to Destiny Reset (90-Day Immersion)

A high-level, deeply transformative journey to:

Release subconscious patterns and emotional blocks
Rewire your nervous system for safety, connection, and love
Heal the root of disconnection in relationships
Step into your true identity and aligned life

This is a private, application-based experience.

Message Nancy directly to inquire or email ascendwithnancy@gmail.com

FINAL REFLECTION

You can continue being admired… respected… desired…

Or you can become someone who is finally known.

SHARE THIS EPISODE

If this spoke to you, share it with someone who:

Feels alone in their relationship
Is ready for deeper connection
Knows there is more to love than what they’ve experienced

Just say the word.

The Heart Of Human Connection

Thu, 02 Jun 2022 18:14:32 GMT

We often take for granted those that we love and love us. We always "think" we have more time. In this episode, I focus on your need to be YOU and to know that you will attract the right people, your soul tribe into your life when you first accept who you truly are. When you don't accept you and are not connected to your truth, others will not easily resonate with you either. No matter what, you always have the approval of the Creator, but you need your own approval too. Love you...exactly as you are!!

Journey To Wholeness

Thu, 19 May 2022 19:29:42 GMT

Many of us are seeking something to complete ourselves...whether it is a relationship or some kind of other fleeting "need". In this episode, I discuss what "wholeness" really is and how we may begin the journey to be whole and complete within ourselves. There is one major component causing the emptiness or void so may people feel inside that seems to never be filled, unless they do this one thing. Wholeness is something that needs to be maintained, considering the world bombarding us with so many exterior stressors. This episode is simply the tip of an iceberg of how to truly be in a state of wholeness. I like to keep my episodes short, but stay tuned for more. Love you!!!

From Women's Shelter To Worldwide Ascension Healing Coach

Fri, 29 Apr 2022 19:05:01 GMT

In this 2nd episode, I am sharing a part of my story that I rarely share. I believe it is time to share with you how my pain became my purpose and how you, too can make it through whatever challenges you may be currently experiencing during this time of awakening on our planet.

As I share my story and the deep imprints upon my soul which catalyzed my deepest transformation and limitless passion to guide... may you be inspired to heal, ascend and thrive in the miraculous BE-ing that you truly are. YOU are a miracle and if you are feeling more aligned with your heart, I will be fulfilled in knowing that even ONE life may be changed with this simple share.

AS much as I love meditation and some other modalities, I encourage you to choose the path of wholeness, and avoid spiritual bypassing. Get into your heart, feel to heal as you practise the modalities you choose. Never avoid or suppress with the blissful practises or any other ways that keep you from acknowledging, accepting, then gracefully letting go in your very own unique way. There is a higher power at play in our lives, which can guide you to your highest path and most divinely anointed destiny, mission or purpose.

Thank you for welcoming me into your heart...I love you. XO

Stepping into Your Truth

Thu, 21 Apr 2022 07:00:11 GMT

It is said that kindness is a language that the deaf can hear and the blind can see. It is spreading light to the darkest parts of the heart without diminishing the love and joy within you.

This world is yearning for a new mindset -- focusing more on how we can help than on what’s wrong. We need to heal those wounds within us that hold us back and make us feel unworthy so that we can give our best to the world. The best version that you can give to the world is your truth. Step into it without any fear because the world needs what you have to offer. Everyone has something to offer.

In this first episode, I’ll share a bit about myself and my healing journey as well as the big why for this podcast. I’ll also share a few personal stories of kindness that are dear to me. Additionally, we’ll take a closer look at kindness, the impact it has on us, and those who are on the receiving end.

Tune in to this first episode of Awakening Hearts, Ascending Souls, and let’s start working on the best version of ourselves so the world can benefit from our gifts.

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

Why I started this podcast (01:01)
My experience taking care of my father (08:50)
The joy of helping others (12:16)
How engaging in acts of kindness impacts your endorphins level (16:47)
