This week Nancy Walker (retired professor of voice at UNC Greensboro) and I talk about proud memories during her 33 year teaching career as well as life lessons from marriage, motherhood, and her Quaker faith.

In this episode, Nancy shares three important turning points in her journey to letting her life speak authentically: taking a big leap in changing her major from English to music in undergraduate studies, meeting her husband at age 27, and putting down roots in Greensboro, North Carolina, where she had children and finding a community in the Quaker faith tradition.

I’m sure that by the end of this hour, we’re all going to be inspired by Nancy's story, which demonstrates that we can all be lifelong learners through the people we meet, places we go, and things we read and see.
