Finding AWE in the In-Between: Rebuilding Yourself in Times of Change
About the Episode
In this episode of Life & In Between, Diana and Patrick sit down with Nancy Nolley, Founder of Your Brilliant Path, LLC, to explore how AWE, personal foundations, and practical life skills can help us navigate the toughest chapters of our lives.
Nancy brings more than 35 years of experience in recruitment, employee development, and personal growth, shaped through her work with organizations like Mary Kay Inc., Frito-Lay, KPMG, Kaiser Permanente, UCSF, and a powerful portfolio of nonprofit leadership roles. Her holistic approach blends career readiness with personal resilience, helping individuals not just prepare for a job but prepare for life.
Together, we walk through the heart of Nancy’s two signature programs:
The Job Readiness Program — guiding clients through the mechanics and the mindset of finding meaningful work.
The Personal Foundation Program — helping individuals rebuild confidence, reconnect with their inner compass, and navigate life’s complexities with clarity and courage.
Through moving stories, grounded wisdom, and practical tools, Nancy shares how AWE — that quiet sense of wonder — becomes a lifeline during moments of uncertainty. She reminds us that setbacks often become the soil where our next chapter grows. As Maya Angelou wrote, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then, when you know better, do better.”
This conversation is a lighthouse for anyone facing transition, searching for direction, or trying to rediscover their worth after life knocks them down. Nancy’s guidance is compassionate, empowering, and rooted in decades of walking alongside people in their most vulnerable moments.
