Listen "Designing Life with Intention: Our Reflection After Nancy"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of The Wisdom Work podcast, Christy and Christa, we reflect on our recent interview with Nancy Gentle Boudrie, an incredible guest whose wisdom left us inspired, grounded, and challenged in the best way. Nancy, with nearly 30 years of experience, shared profound insights on emotional hygiene, mindfulness, and shifting from a victim mentality to becoming the author of your own life script.Together, we revisit some of Nancy’s most powerful nuggets, including:The difference between creating a life by design vs. living one by defaultWhy mindfulness is simply paying attention on purpose, with curiosity and no judgmentHow your daily thoughts shape your lived reality (and why most of them aren’t factual!)Practical tools like the STOP method: Stop, Take a breath, Observe, and Purposefully proceedUsing affirmations and imagination to shift from limiting beliefs to expanding possibilitiesWe also open up about our own journeys: Christa’s giddy joy of living her dream life in California, Christy’s moments of deep gratitude while working on the West Coast, and how both of us keep coming back to the power of energy, intention, and mindset in shaping what’s possible.If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in negative loops, doubting your path, or struggling to quiet the noise in your head, this episode is full of reminders and tools to help you pause, realign, and step forward with purpose.Time stamps0:00 ...
