102: Awakened Miracles: A Journey of Near Death Experiences and Self-Love with Nanci Reed

Welcome to Rock Your Shine: After you’ve been cracked wide open. On this show, I sit down with people from all over the world to hear their transformational stories on their deep grief and loss journeys. 

In this captivating episode, we delve into the extraordinary life journey of Nanci Reed, who experienced a profound transformation through the teachings of 'A Course In Miracles.' Her path was forever altered by a near-death experience that served as a catalyst for change and self-discovery.

Nanci shares how she learned the art of letting go to find salvation and how she navigated moments of unkindness with courage and grace. Amidst deep pain, she found solace in writing about her experiences, leading to a profound transformation of her life.

During her journey, Nanci was guided by the mentorship of Ken Wapnick, a spiritual influence that left an indelible mark on her soul, even after his passing. She reveals how she felt untethered in this world after his departure but learned to find compassion within herself.

In a year of introspection, Nanci embarked on a journey of making amends and ultimately reconnected with her ex-husband. To her surprise, they discovered they were expecting a baby girl, opening new chapters of love and hope in her life.

However, her journey was far from over. Nanci had a scheduled c-section, which led her to another near-death experience. Through this life-altering event, she gained profound insights into the meaning of self-love.

In this episode, Nanci shares her perspective on hope and the importance of embracing imperfection while living in the present moment. Her story of transformation, resilience, and self-love will undoubtedly inspire and resonate with listeners on their own journeys of awakening.

As a Sacred Embodiment Coach, Author, Intuitive Healer, Pilates Instructor, and longtime Student/Teacher/ Facilitator of ‘A Course In Miracles’, Nanci Reed supports successful, empathic, and mission-driven women to embrace their perfectly imperfect self with curiosity and gentleness, so they learn to trust the wisdom of their soul, live from their dreams--not their perceived limitations and live their happily ever NOW--not after everything else is perfect.
