The Key to Setting Goals That Stick This New Year
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
As the year winds down, it’s natural to reflect on what we’ve accomplished and where we fell short. Soon, the world will buzz with talk of resolutions, new beginnings, and goals for the upcoming year. Yet, for many of us, this annual ritual of setting goals often feels like throwing darts at a board while blindfolded.
Why is it that so many goals are abandoned by February? The answer is simple yet profound: without a clear purpose or passion, goals lack the fuel to sustain them. Purpose is the "why" behind the "what." It's the force that gets you out of bed on the tough days and keeps you moving forward when the path gets steep. If your goals aren't aligned with your deeper purpose or passion, they're like a house built on sand—easily washed away by life's inevitable storms.

Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
Burnout is a term we hear frequently in today's fast-paced, high-pressure world, but for women who have experienced trauma, the risk of burnout often runs deeper and can feel like an almost inevitable part of life. To understand why burnout is so common among this group, we must explore the unique interplay between trauma, societal expectations, and the additional roles many women take on.

In a world filled with distractions and ever-growing demands on our time, achieving our personal and professional goals can feel like climbing an insurmountable mountain. But what if there were a proven formula to ensure results and maintain steady progress? The answer lies in the powerful trio of learning, coaching, and accountability.
moreNavigating Relationships When They Don't Support Your Growth
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
Change is an inevitable part of life, especially when we realize that the current version of ourselves isn’t aligned with the life we want to live. For women, this awakening often comes with a deep desire to step into their power, pursue fulfillment, and build a life that excites them. But what happens when the people closest to us—partners, friends, or family—aren’t supportive of these changes?
Navigating relationships during personal transformation can be challenging, but it’s essential to approach this journey with clarity, compassion, and courage.
moreOvercoming Trauma: Building Confidence to Reinvent Your Life
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
Reinventing oneself after trauma can feel like an overwhelming task, especially for women who may have experienced deep-rooted pain. Trauma shapes how we see ourselves, the world, and our possibilities. It often instills fear, self-doubt, and hesitation, creating a narrative that tells us we’re “not enough” or “too broken” to start fresh. But overcoming trauma is possible, and through focused self-work, it can become the foundation for an empowered, confident life.
moreSetting Boundaries: A Path to Protecting Our Time and Staying Focused on Our Goals
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
In a world where demands on our time and energy are constant, setting boundaries becomes a crucial skill for maintaining focus, protecting our well-being, and ensuring we stay on the path to achieving our goals. For many of us, especially those who have experienced trauma or personal boundary violations, defining and enforcing boundaries can feel challenging. Yet, without clear boundaries, we often find ourselves overextended, losing precious time and energy that could otherwise fuel our aspirations.
Setting boundaries doesn’t just preserve time—it safeguards our emotional and mental health. Boundaries are our way of communicating what we need to function at our best, both personally and professionally. They enable us to honor our needs, minimize distractions, and stay aligned with our core values and long-term objectives.
moreChoosing Excellence Over Perfection
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
In a world that often celebrates "perfection" as the ultimate standard, it can be easy to slip into a mindset where anything less than flawless feels like failure. However, striving for perfection can become a limiting trap, one that leads to constant dissatisfaction and a cycle of self-doubt. By shifting our focus from perfection to excellence, we can instead nurture growth, achievement, and a lasting sense of fulfillment. Through coaching, we gain the tools and support needed to adopt this mindset and consistently operate at our best without getting stuck in the endless loop of perfectionism.
moreReleasing Disempowering Beliefs
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
Disempowering beliefs often develop as a way to protect us from emotional, physical, or psychological harm. These beliefs, although limiting, once served a role in our survival or well-being. However, as we grow and change, these beliefs can outstay their usefulness, becoming barriers to the life we want to create. The key to releasing these beliefs lies in exploring why they were formed, understanding the role they played, and consciously inviting them to either leave or take on a new, empowering function.
moreHow Guilt About Past Decisions Holds Women Back from Reinventing Their Lives
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
For women who have experienced trauma, reinventing life is not just about changing routines or setting new goals—it's about confronting the emotional burdens that linger from the past. Among these burdens, guilt often stands out as one of the most powerful, yet least addressed, obstacles. Whether it stems from personal decisions, unresolved relationships, or choices made during moments of survival, guilt can become an invisible chain that keeps women stuck, preventing them from stepping into the life they want and deserve. Understanding how guilt works and learning to release it is crucial for true reinvention.
moreOvercoming Old Habits: Breaking Free from Patterns That No Longer Serve You
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
Old habits, like well-worn paths in the forest of our minds, can feel comfortable and familiar—even when they no longer serve us. Whether it’s procrastination, emotional eating, negative self-talk, or avoiding opportunities out of fear, these habits once may have provided comfort or safety. However, they can eventually become barriers that limit our personal and professional growth. Breaking free from these patterns is essential for transforming your life and reaching new levels of success and happiness.
In this article, we’ll explore why old habits are so difficult to break, how to overcome them, and how to build new, empowering patterns that align with your goals.
moreOvercoming the Fear of Judgment
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
One of the most challenging aspects of personal growth is the fear of judgment. Whether stepping away from a career to pursue your passion, embracing a new lifestyle, or taking bold steps toward personal transformation, the fear of what others will think can feel overwhelming. Worrying about criticism, rejection, or disappointing those closest to us is common. However, breaking free from this fear is essential if we want to live authentically and create a life aligned with our values and dreams.
moreHow to Reframe Your Life
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
The stories we tell ourselves can shape the trajectory of our lives. They don’t feel like stories—they feel like truth, like unchangeable reality. Yet, what many of us don’t realize is that these stories are not fixed entities. They are not written in stone, but rather malleable narratives that can evolve over time. While facts may remain unchanged, the way we frame them has the power to transform our perception of ourselves and our world.
moreEstablishing a Personal Code of Conduct
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
The idea of creating a productive culture within an organization is well-known in business circles. It’s about setting a clear code of conduct, fostering specific behaviors, and minimizing distractions to achieve consistent, high-quality results. But what if we took those same principles and applied them to our personal lives? In “The Road Less Stupid” by Keith J. Cunningham, the concept of establishing rules and standards for an organization I expanded it to include how individuals can live more productive and fulfilling lives by doing the same. By setting personal standards for how we conduct our lives and by closely examining what we tolerate, we can transform our productivity, focus, and overall satisfaction.
more90 Days Until 2025 - This Year Could Be Different
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
As the final quarter of 2024 rolls in, many of us are already thinking about New Year’s resolutions—those promises we make each year, full of good intentions, but often let slip away by February. Sound familiar? How many times have you set goals with excitement only to find yourself feeling defeated, stuck in the same old patterns of self-doubt, procrastination, or fear?
But what if this year could be different? What if, as you approach 2025, you make resolutions based not on wishful thinking, but on a foundation of strength, confidence, and the absolute certainty that you can make anything happen?
This is exactly what my Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) and coaching program is designed to help you achieve. Unlike traditional approaches, RTT doesn’t just skim the surface of your desires—it dives deep to uproot the limiting beliefs that have kept you stuck, reframing them into sources of personal empowerment. And through coaching, you’ll learn how to incorporate these new, empowered beliefs into your conscious decision-making process so that you’re making...
moreLeading Your Own Life: The True Essence of Leadership
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
When we think of leadership, we often imagine guiding teams, making powerful speeches, or inspiring others to action. But the most fundamental leadership role we can ever assume is the one that’s often overlooked: leading our own life. Too many of us spend time thinking about how we can influence others, without first considering whether we’ve truly stepped up to be the leader of ourselves.
To lead your own life means to make tough decisions, to follow through on the promises you’ve made to yourself, and to maintain clarity on the direction you want your life to go. And let me tell you—there’s nothing passive about it. It requires courage, commitment, and a relentless dedication to growth. But when you learn to lead your own life, everything else falls into place.
moreThe Power of Accountability in Coaching: Your Key to Achieving Goals
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
Have you ever set a goal, started with high motivation, and then, over time, found yourself drifting away? Whether it’s due to procrastination, self-doubt, or simply life getting in the way, losing momentum is easy. This is where accountability, a key aspect of coaching, can make all the difference.
Accountability in coaching goes beyond having someone check in with you. It’s about creating a structured environment where you are guided, challenged, and supported in taking action toward your goals. This kind of accountability is often the missing ingredient in people’s success stories, helping them stay on track, push past obstacles, and ultimately achieve what they set out to do.
moreOvercoming Uncertainty and Reinventing Yourself with RTT and Coaching
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
Many people who have experienced trauma or are held back by deeply ingrained limiting beliefs often feel an overwhelming sense of uncertainty when they try to reinvent themselves. They know that their current situation isn’t fulfilling or healthy, but they aren’t sure what steps to take to move forward. The fear of failure, doubt in their abilities, and confusion about where to begin can be paralyzing.
When you’ve been stuck in a cycle of self-doubt or pain for years—whether due to trauma, negative conditioning, or life circumstances—it’s easy to feel lost. Reinventing yourself is not just about setting new goals or changing careers. It’s about healing the root causes of your limitations and creating a new, empowered identity. But how do you start, and how do you keep the momentum to turn your vision into reality?
moreUnderstanding the Three Types of Trauma: Acute, Chronic, and Complex
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
Trauma is a psychological and emotional response to deeply distressing or disturbing experiences. While everyone may react differently to trauma, it generally falls into three categories: acute, chronic, and complex. Understanding the distinctions between these types of trauma can help identify symptoms, seek appropriate care, and offer support to those affected, including first responders, military personnel, and loved ones of trauma victims.
moreAre We Really Free? Helping Others Break Free from Limiting Beliefs
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
We often like to believe that we’re free—living an amazing life, making choices based on our true desires, and carving out our own path. And for many of us, that may very well be true. But what if we know someone—a friend, a family member, or even an employee—who may be struggling, quietly held back by limiting beliefs that keep them from realizing their full potential?
It’s easy to stay in our own bubble, to assume that because we’re doing well, everyone else is too. But sometimes, stepping out of that bubble is exactly what’s needed to help others break free from the invisible chains that bind them.
moreBalancing Transformation and Responsibilities
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
When you're on a journey of transformation, especially after overcoming trauma, one of the biggest challenges is figuring out how to balance the demands of your existing life with the need to create space for growth and new opportunities. The truth is, the idea of perfect balance is often a myth, particularly when you’re working through deep personal change. Instead, what if we embraced the concept that balance is fluid and that different aspects of our lives can shift in priority at different times?
moreStep Away and Transform
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
Have you ever felt stuck in life? Wished you could start over and emerge as someone entirely new? This isn’t just a fleeting desire but a real possibility. As Jim Rohn often said, transformation starts when you step away from everything you’ve always known—routines, habits, and your comfort zone—and embrace the unknown to reinvent yourself.
moreThe Power of Reinterpreting the Past
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
When I first heard Tony Robbins talk about the power of changing your life story, I took it literally. It was as if he handed me a magic eraser, and I went to work wiping away the parts of my life that felt like heavy weights: the death of my father, an assault I experienced as a teenager, and a period of addiction. In their place, I wrote a new story—a heroic tale of someone who had everything going in her favor and made it to the big time, building a hugely successful company complete with all the perks.

moreHarnessing the Power of Questions and Behavioral Change To End Procrastination
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
Procrastination is often seen as a habit of delay, but according to John Assaraf, it’s much more than just putting things off.

By understanding and shifting these patterns, we can break free from procrastination and move toward a more productive and fulfilling life.

moreUnderstanding Imposter Syndrome in Women
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
Imposter syndrome is a psychological pattern where individuals doubt their accomplishments and fear being exposed as a "fraud."

moreEmbracing Short-Term Memory
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
In the high-stakes world of competitive sports, the ability to bounce back from mistakes is crucial. During the Olympic trials, coaches often advise their athletes to establish short-term memory, especially after an error. This concept isn't just limited to sports; it has profound implications for our everyday lives as well. Understanding and adopting this mindset can help us navigate challenges more effectively and improve our overall performance in various aspects of life.
moreThe Subtle Origins of Disempowering Beliefs
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
Disempowering beliefs, such as feeling unworthy or believing you are not enough, are often attributed to significant traumatic experiences. While it is true that traumatic events can profoundly shape our self-perception, it is equally important to recognize that these limiting beliefs frequently stem from more mundane, everyday experiences. Understanding the origins of these beliefs can be liberating and essential for personal growth.
moreThe Paradox of Desire: Understanding What We Don't Want vs. What We Do Want
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
It's a familiar scenario for many: we can easily list all the things we don't want in life. We don't want stress, we don't want unhealthy relationships, we don't want financial instability. Yet, when it comes to articulating what we do want, the clarity often fades, and we find ourselves at a loss. Why is it that knowing what we don’t want is easier than knowing what we do want? The answer lies in the complex interplay of our beliefs, fears, and societal conditioning.
moreTaking Back Our Power
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
Trauma, whether through abuse or neglect, leaves deep scars that affect every aspect of our lives. It is a cruel irony that while the abusers and neglecters often move on with their lives, survivors remain imprisoned by the echoes of their trauma. This internal prison, built from pain and fear, can feel more permanent than any physical confinement. However, reclaiming our power from those who harmed us is essential for healing and creating a new, fulfilling life. This journey, while challenging, is deeply transformative and liberating.
moreThe Power of Self-Questioning
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
Childhood trauma can cast long shadows over our lives, influencing our behavior, self-esteem, and relationships. The scars left by these early experiences often run deep, manifesting as persistent pain and emotional turbulence. However, one of the most potent tools we have for overcoming this pain and fostering personal growth is the simple act of asking ourselves questions. By re-examining the meanings we assigned to our experiences as children, we can begin to heal and transform our lives.
moreNavigating Mental Health Challenges Post-Trauma
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
Trauma, whether stemming from a single catastrophic event or prolonged exposure to distressing circumstances, can leave deep psychological scars.

The journey to recovery is unique for each individual, but understanding the nature of these conditions and the available therapeutic options can significantly aid in healing.
moreNo Action - No Change
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
Change is often romanticized as a sudden, almost magical occurrence—a bolt from the blue that transforms our lives overnight. However, the reality is far more intricate and grounded in the decisions we make. Nothing in our lives changes until we are ready to take action. This principle underscores the significance of personal readiness and proactive behavior as the true drivers of transformation. It's not the mere desire for change but the willingness to act that ignites the process. Understanding this can be the key to unlocking the potential for rapid and profound transformation.
moreBreaking Free FromThe Vicious Cycle of Negative Self-Talk and Comparison
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
In today's hyperconnected world, where social media platforms showcase curated snippets of seemingly perfect lives, it's all too easy to fall into the trap of negative self-talk and constant comparison.

Understanding how they are linked and learning strategies to overcome them can pave the way to a healthier, more positive self-view.
moreOvercoming the Shadow of Trauma
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
For many victims of trauma, the journey to healing is a deeply personal and often painful process. One of the most challenging aspects of this journey is the pervasive feeling of inadequacy that arises from comparing oneself to others.

I know this feeling all too well, as my own story illustrates the complex emotions and challenges that come with overcoming trauma.

moreThe Path to Lasting Success
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
In personal and professional development, the distinction between change and transformation is both profound and essential. Change is often seen as a temporary adjustment, a response to immediate needs or external pressures. Transformation, however, is a deep-rooted and enduring shift in one's mindset, habits, and identity. Understanding this difference is crucial because it highlights the necessity of becoming the person who can not only achieve success but also sustain and grow it.
moreComparing Traditional Talk Therapy and Rapid Transformational Therapy
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
In the ever-evolving field of mental health, various therapeutic approaches have been developed to cater to diverse needs.

moreUnderstanding Self-Doubt and Self-Esteem
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
Self-doubt and self-esteem are two sides of the same coin, deeply intertwined and often dictating our approach to life. Self-doubt is the lack of confidence in one's abilities and decisions, while self-esteem is the overall sense of one's worth and competence. Both these aspects are significantly influenced by our early experiences and the beliefs we form during childhood.
moreThe Most Important Person to Impress is Yourself
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
In our pursuit of validation and approval, we often find ourselves striving to make others proud of us. This desire for external validation can shape our choices, goals, and self-worth. We seek approval from family, friends, colleagues, and society at large, hoping that their recognition will affirm our worth and achievements. However, in this quest, we tend to overlook the most crucial person whose pride should matter the most: ourselves.
moreBreaking Free from Negative Self-Talk
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
Negative self-talk is an insidious force, one that can stealthily shape our lives and keep us stuck in places we never intended to be. As women, we often find ourselves grappling with this internal dialogue, which undermines our self-worth and convinces us that we are not capable of achieving our dreams. This was my reality for many years, and I want to share my story of breaking free from these chains in the hope that it inspires you to do the same.
moreOvercoming Trauma Through Support and Connection
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
Trauma is an insidious force that can shatter our sense of safety, disrupt our emotional stability, and leave us feeling isolated from the world.

In these moments of darkness, the importance of a strong support system cannot be overstated.
moreHow I Identified as a Victim and Found a Way Out

moreUnderstanding Self-Discipline and Trauma
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
Self-discipline, the ability to control one's emotions, behaviors, and desires in the face of external demands, is a crucial component of personal and professional success. However, for trauma victims, self-discipline can be exceptionally challenging. Trauma, which can stem from a wide range of experiences such as abuse, neglect, accidents, or witnessing violence, has profound effects on the brain and body. These effects can make it significantly harder for individuals to exercise self-discipline. Understanding why this is the case and exploring ways to overcome these challenges is essential for those affected by trauma and those supporting them.
moreMoving Beyond Trauma to Fight for What We Deserve
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
In the aftermath of trauma, the path to healing is a complex journey. For many trauma survivors, an insidious challenge lies in overcoming the deeply ingrained belief that we deserve only the leftovers of life—whatever remains after others have taken their share. This mindset is often rooted in the experiences of powerlessness and devaluation during traumatic events. However, true healing and empowerment come from recognizing our worth and learning to actively fight for what we genuinely desire and deserve.
moreBreaking the Silence Within: Overcoming Trauma's Hold on Our Minds
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
In the wake of trauma, our minds often become battlegrounds, where the desire for peace clashes with the echoes of past pain. To shield ourselves from the overwhelming intensity of traumatic experiences, we erect mental barriers, fortresses of numbness where thoughts are unwelcome intruders. It's a defense mechanism, a coping strategy to survive the storm. But in the silence we create, in the absence of thought, lies a hidden danger — the stasis of our own growth and fulfillment.
moreUnderstanding Self-Blame in Trauma Victims
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
Trauma leaves more than just physical scars; it etches deep emotional wounds that shape a person's worldview and self-perception. One of the most insidious effects of trauma is the victim's tendency to blame themselves for the events that have befallen them. This misplaced blame can lead to a persistent belief that they are unworthy of happiness or incapable of experiencing good things in their lives. Understanding the roots of this self-blame and exploring effective solutions, such as Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT), is crucial for healing.

moreUnderstanding Childhood Trauma and Its Long-Term Effects
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
Childhood trauma, encompassing mental, physical, and sexual abuse, leaves indelible marks on the psyche of its victims. These traumatic experiences shape the beliefs children develop about themselves, often dictating their behaviors well into adulthood. Children subjected to such trauma may either act out aggressively or hide away, trying to avoid further harm. This dichotomy is rooted in the need for self-preservation in hostile environments.
moreThe Silent Echoes of Childhood Trauma
Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
Childhood is often envisioned as a time of carefree joy and boundless curiosity. However, for many, it is a period marked by profound challenges and emotional upheaval.

Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
Many of the beliefs we hold about ourselves weren't born from our own introspections or decisions; they were planted in our minds by others.

Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
All of us at one time or another have found ourselves in search of motivation.

Action is preceded by motivation on either the conscious or the subconscious side. It is the reason, the rationale, the impulse that tells you to “do it”.
What we need to do is move motivation to the conscious side of our mind so that we can summon it when we need it to do that next needle moving thing in our life or our business.
