In her book, "Dance Your Way to An Empowered Self: Four Elements to Achieve Shining Confidence," Nancy takes you on her journey from victim to victor and shows us how we can do the same. She shares her story of growing up with almost non-existent confidence, the repercussions of living that way, her way out of that way of living, and the amazing turnaround in her life because of it. The biggest lesson that she shares with us is how living in a place of low self-esteem fosters abuse from others. In this book we learn that misogyny, abuse (physical, mental and emotional), discrimination, and all the ways that women and girls are taken advantage of can be fought most effectively not with more aggression & anger, but with lightness and care. Nancy gives us the steps that we can take to become the empowered women that we are longing to be and do so in easy, fun ways. Nancy got to this place by taking the lessons she learned through dancing (her one place where she felt empowered) and applied them to her everyday life. The outcome was a strong, empowered, confident woman that was now strong enough to do what was right for her and no longer be taken advantage of. "Dance Your Way to An Empowered Self" teaches us that by building our core confidence we give off a different vibe to those that search for weakness to manipulate. We also gain the strength to say "No" when faced with situations that aren't good for us. By focusing on our bodies and intuitions, we are able to tap into that core confidence, listen to our own signals, and take strong stances for ourselves easily. This book gives us the exercises to discover and build that core confidence. You do not have to be a dancer to understand this book or practice it's exercises. The metaphor of how dancing is like living a confident life makes it easy to understand why our bodies are the key to building our core confidence. Nancy hopes you enjoy your journey to empowerment and that you find your own, individual DANCE!

A healer’s guide to accepting that we can’t control everything—and transforming our mindset to navigate the unknown. Whether we like it or not, control is an illusion. God and the universe laugh when we make plans. We can try hard to materialize something—a new job, the perfect body, trust, our dream partner, inner peace—without success. And sometimes life deals unexpected blows: illness, divorce, loss. Turning Dead Ends Into Doorways: How to Grow Through Whatever Life Throws Your Way introduces eight teachers to help us navigate the unknown in daily life: fear, awareness, choice, body, intuition, energy, intention, and surrender. With compassionate honesty and a practical sense of humor, healing practitioner Staci Boden shows: how to navigate change without clinging to false notions that if you just do this or think that, you can determine what happens next how to let go of false expectations and still make excellent choices how to grow and heal no matter what life throws your way

Nourishing Dance: An Essential Guide on Nutrition, Body Image, and Eating Disorders is written with an insider’s understanding of the unique needs and pressures of the dance world and the expertise of an eating disorder specialist, dietitian, clinician, and educator. This much-needed resource provides research-based, practical approaches to help dancers fuel optimally, nourish a peaceful relationship with food, and nurture more positive and resilient body image. Under-fueling, body dissatisfaction, eating disorders, and disordered eating are far too common among dancers. Despite the prevalence of these issues in dancers across genres, and their negative impacts on dancers’ physical and mental health and performance, they have not been adequately addressed in the dance community. Improving dancers’ health and well-being is necessary for both dancers and the art form to thrive, and everyone involved in the training and care of dancers can play an important role in this mission. Nourishing Dance provides essential information on nutrition, body image, and eating disorder prevention to help parents, teachers, staff, choreographers, leadership, athletic trainers, coaches, and healthcare professionals contribute to making the dance world a healthier and safer place for dancers.
