Did you know that the time you put into tending to your own needs and desires is equivalent to what you feel you deserve?
In fact, psychotherapist and women’s emotional health specialist Nancy Colier says that self-care, at its core, speaks of your inherent right to remain nourished and revitalized — in mind, body, heart, and soul.
It’s about cultivating a lifestyle that keeps you rejuvenated and in resonance with the harmony of your true essence…
… reflecting your worth in every aspect of your life in a way that clearly states the message: “I deserve to feel nourished; I deserve to feel vibrant in my mind, body, heart, and soul.”
Imagine waking up every morning feeling not only physically refreshed but mentally clear, emotionally balanced, and spiritually aligned. That’s the promise of genuine self-care — and the basis of Nancy’s new course.
A national speaker on women’s empowerment, anxiety, wellbeing, and mindful technology, Nancy has helped thousands of women reimagine their lives by aligning deeper with their inner truth and what they truly deserve.
Emotional exhaustion and the feeling of being alienated from your truth — and disconnected from your deepest and most authentic self — is painful, but can also be temporary as you learn to embody true self-care…
… opening a door to deeper fulfillment in every facet of your life as you give yourself permission to prioritize your needs and truly love and care for yourself.
Join Nancy for a transformative 7-week journey to replenish and reconnect with your inner vitality, voice, and vibrance through a self-care approach that is as dynamic and unique as you are.
Nancy teaches that real self-care is about respecting and cherishing yourself — to the extent that you naturally begin to exude luminosity, embrace and speak your truth, and maintain equilibrium despite the expectations of others.
You’ll learn her gentle yet effective process for living life in your full vibrancy — and experiencing optimal health, abundance, confidence, and authenticity — through five fundamental pillars of authentic self-care: cultivating awareness, embodying your experience, transitioning from obligation to desire, dismantling the instinctive “It’s my fault” response, and choosing honesty over likability.
Grounding Nancy’s work is the bold idea that true self-care is about the choice you make moment-by-moment to be self-caring, including welcoming all of the parts of yourself back into the safest place on Earth — your own being.
Experience this firsthand as Nancy shares how you can liberate yourself to joyfully embody your truth.
Ultimately, you’ll discover a fundamentally different way of taking care of yourself and walking in the world as a woman…
… grounded and empowered as you awaken a reliable sense of safety rooted in your authenticity, vitality, and connection to self.
When you join Nancy for this course, you’ll discover a myriad of tools and opportunities to establish a new emotional wellbeing baseline — one that truly reflects and respects your authentic needs.
You’ll gain a fresh understanding of what true self-care means, how it profoundly affects your overall wellbeing, and how your most authentic self can emerge from practicing it.
With Nancy’s support, you’ll break free from the likability cage, step into the power of your authenticity, and become emboldened to fearlessly express your truth by courageously loving and caring for yourself.
In this 7-week transformational course, Nancy will guide you through the fundamental skills and competencies you’ll need to successfully embrace an embodied self-care approach that empowers you to come home to your true self by breaking free from the expectations of others.
You’ll connect with Nancy and experience her teachings through livestreaming video via any connected device. This connection is easy to use and will enhance the impact of Nancy’s transmissions. Can’t make it live? After each class, you can stream the video and audio recordings to enjoy anytime and anywhere at your convenience.
This course will feature LIVE teachings, interactive training sessions, experiential practices, and Q&A with Nancy. Each session will build harmoniously upon the previous ones, so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools, and principles you’ll need to unleash the power of true self-care by shedding expectations of others and awakening your most authentic self.
Embrace a radically different approach to self-care and discover the real roots of emotional exhaustion.
You’ll explore the relationship between self-image and self-care and the role that early conditioning has had on your perception of self-care and how you move through the world as a woman…
… including the expectation to be selfless, finding your value in taking care of others, and why you may prioritize being in relationship with and accepted by others before the relationship you have with yourself.
You’ll learn how all of this leads to the “likability cage,” sacrificing authenticity for likability and a relentless drive to be pleasing, even with those you don’t know or like — and what this costs you.
Nancy will also share what she’s seen while working with women for 30 years as a psychotherapist, and her personal journey with — and through — emotional exhaustion.
In this session, you’ll discover:
Explore the cultural narratives that have shaped your concept of the “ideal” woman and uncover the expectations imposed upon you, as well as the resulting consequences of not meeting these preconceived standards.
Examine the role of anger, ambition, and power in your life as a woman and how societal narratives have influenced your acceptance or rejection of certain aspects of yourself.
This module aims to illuminate the considerable energy and focus you’ve likely spent maintaining an acceptable image, while also managing how others perceive you.
Scrutinize the personal costs of this dynamic — sacrificing your needs and feeling disconnected from your own truth, voice, and power. Learn how this alienation can lead you into a self-antagonizing relationship — transforming you into a manager rather than an owner of your life and body.
Family is another crucial component that shapes your self-perception. Explore the role your family played in teaching you to relate to your own needs and expectations, and investigate how cultural narratives and early family experiences blended to shape your attitudes towards your desires and experiences.
In this session, you’ll:
Explore the common core beliefs that arise from societal conditioning, particularly those regarding your personal needs and the validity of your own truth.
Investigate how these beliefs determine your relationship with yourself — identifying which parts you embrace as lovable and which you shun as unwelcome — and uncover the aspects of your identity you’ve been taught to view as threats to your emotional wellbeing. Understanding these aspects and how they shape the way you treat yourself is fundamental to the true essence of self-care.
Critically analyze the remedies for your exhaustion proposed by the booming $14-billion self-care industry — which presents a plethora of appealing options for pampering and purchasing as the ultimate means to take care of yourself, promising temporary reprieve through consumerism.
However, these fleeting solutions, while enjoyable, often fail to address the deeper issues at hand. You’ll learn how the commercialization of self-care keeps you stuck in the self-improvement loop, paradoxically fueling the system that wears you out.
Real self-care extends beyond the materialistic realm of buying or doing. It’s an attitude, a way of being, an unwavering trust in your own truth as you navigate life. This perspective prompts a deeper investigation into the underlying desires driving your pursuit of self-care, such as the yearning for silence or the longing to break free from endless to-do lists.
In this session, you’ll:
Imagine if you allowed your desires to lead the way, living a life guided by what you genuinely yearn for. How would this shape your decisions, your relationships, and your self-perception?
Dive into the first three fundamental pillars of authentic self-care: cultivating awareness, embodying your experience, and transitioning from obligation to desire — exploring how you can become aware of your entrenched beliefs, patterns, and habits and move towards a more embodied existence.
By focusing on inhabiting your own body and personal experience, you sidestep the shackling expectations of who you “should” be. Embracing your physical being is an essential step towards rejuvenation and empowerment, so you’ll engage in exercises and a meditation focused on grounding yourself in your body — paving the way back to your physical self.
In shifting from “should” to “want,” you’ll ask yourself “What do I actually want?” and address the anxieties and restrictive beliefs surrounding your desires and your intuition — the core of your authentic self. You’ll receive tools designed to bolster your courage so you can uncover and honor your true wants — pushing beyond the confines of societal expectations and perceived obligations and reintegrating desire into your everyday life.
In this session, you’ll discover:
In this module, you’ll explore the fourth pillar of the Real Self-Care program, which seeks to revolutionize a deeply ingrained internal paradigm that often leaves women feeling trapped. Pillar 4 is all about dismantling the instinctive “It’s my fault” response.
You’ll learn how to stop personalizing and blaming yourself for things that aren’t going as expected, resist the urge to bear responsibility for everyone else’s experiences, and curb your feelings of guilt.
You’ll investigate the identity associated with being the “fixer” and recognize the control issues this reveals. You’ll discover a path to freedom — being okay with the unknown and staying curious without assuming you’re at the center of everything — and learn to accept reality as it is, even when it doesn’t align with your expectations. Instead of hastily trying to fix perceived problems, you’ll understand how to accept and validate your own experience of reality.
In this session, you’ll:
Learn to value living your truth, even when it means disappointing others or not meeting their expectations.
This courage to be truthful will help you stop attempting to fix things.
Uncover the barriers preventing honesty in your relationships and scrutinize the real costs of shapeshifting and people pleasing.
And participate in exercises designed to empower you to choose honesty over likability.
In this session, you’ll discover:
Our conditioning often predisposes us to develop codependency in relationships, making our sense of security and wellbeing dependent on our partner’s happiness and their satisfaction with us.
It also leads us to try to control the conditions of our relationships and take responsibility not for just our experiences but also for those of our partners and family members. This kind of codependency — which equates our worth and wellbeing with the state of our relationships — breeds instability and insecurity.
Learn a new relationship model — one viewing partners as two separate, complete individuals with distinct truths that may not always align. In this model, a relationship isn’t about making your partner comfortable or maintaining constant agreement, but about genuinely wanting to know the other person.
Reflect on the transformative journey you’ve taken over the past seven weeks — from conforming to societal expectations to claiming ownership of your truth and bravely embracing authenticity, even when it isn’t the easiest path.
Gain additional strategies and suggestions to help continue this newly cultivated way of being and relating, and experience a closing meditation to acknowledge and honor your bravery in reconnecting with your true self — celebrating the possibilities that exist now that you’ve discovered your inherent worth and value.
In this final session, you’ll discover:

Nancy invites you to stop doing, fixing, and trying to make things happen in this audio meditation. She’ll help you let go and tap into a deep state of relaxation — in which you can allow the present moment to be exactly as it is without needing to solve or fix anything — enabling you to be in the present moment. Shift from doing to being, and experience your authentic self.
In this vibrant conversation, Nancy and Mary Sise, pioneer in the field of energy psychology and the creator of the Soul Weaving Process, discuss authenticity and the true self — what it is, what gets in its way, and what might keep you from being able to feel it, know it, and live from it. You’ll learn how you can return home to yourself and start living a more truthful and nourishing life.

Time with Nancy is an invitation to finally act on the deep knowing in each of us that we have value. Moving in these times from “surviving” to “thriving” requires recognizing that the quality of our lives is worthy of fuller attention, and Nancy's workshops request a willingness to examine questions about how the twin perils of lifelong conditioning and societal messaging set us up to fail. She offers a map to finding your way to, paraphrasing what she writes in her book, build “a ground of self-kindness in which you are . . . irrevocably on your own side.”

A few years ago, I attended a meditation evening where Nancy Colier was the guest speaker. In her presence, I felt grounded and centered. In the past five years, I experienced two emotionally traumatic events in my personal life, and I turned to Nancy for guidance. During those dark times, Nancy’s guiding light was invaluable for my mental and emotional sanity. I am very grateful that she is part of my life’s journey, and I continue to recommend her to my clients.

“I’ve never seen a course so well put together ever...”
I had never participated before in an online course. The packaging, presentation, inclusion, and Facebook postings created a wonderful, safe cocoon within which to participate. I’ve never seen a course so well put together ever — not in all the years of taking college classes — and I had my doubts about doing an online course. The wealth of organization and ease of learning materials and support made this fun as well.
