In this episode, I’m diving into a profoundly transformative experience from nine years ago—a 10-day silent meditation retreat in Thailand. I’ll share part one of an article I wrote for Best Self, reflecting on how this retreat shifted my life, outlook, and morning routine.
This was a massive step into the unknown as I left my comfort zone and confronted my fears about taking time off work. If you’ve ever struggled with overachieving, perfectionism, or the fear of slowing down, this episode is for you.
Listen to The Nancy Levin Show: Episode 178, and learn that any fear you might have can be overcome with a goal to change your circumstances no matter how challenging.
