The Living Full Out show with Nancy Solari inspires you to embrace your past and face life’s challenges with resilience. Maybe you’re feeling weighed down by shame, or perhaps you’re struggling to forgive yourself. Join Nancy as she explores how to stay strong through difficult times and transform pain into empowerment.

Nancy begins by responding to listener emails. The first is from Brian, who’s finding success with his new business but feels pressure from his wife, who’s concerned he isn’t spending enough time with the family. Nancy encourages him to carve out moments for loved ones, making balance an essential part of his entrepreneurial journey. The second message comes from Abby, who recently lost her beloved Labrador, Bob, after 14 years together. Nancy offers ways to keep Bob’s spirit alive and suggests a comforting poem to help her through her grief. Finally, Sammy writes in to share her frustration with dating apps while searching for love. Nancy offers her encouragement to stay hopeful, along with practical tips to prepare for a fulfilling relationship.

Our inspirational guest, Brian Tellor, shares his journey of self-forgiveness and healing after a traumatic childhood led him to self-sabotaging behaviors. Growing up with an emotionally and sometimes physically abusive stepfather and an often-absent mother, Brian left home at 16, seeking validation through relationships. His infidelity ultimately led to the end of his marriage and a breakdown during which he felt suicidal. Despite these struggles, Brian has found resilience and now guides others as a life transformation coach. Tune in to hear how Brian healed and overcame life’s storms.

If you’re struggling to see a way forward, remember that it’s okay to feel pain. Allow yourself to express your emotions—cry, be angry—and then find ways to release the past by sharing your story, whether through journaling, confiding in someone, or speaking openly. Discover your “why”—the reason you get up each morning. By releasing the past and identifying what drives you, you can see difficult experiences as seasons that will pass. Weathering life’s storms truly exemplifies what it means to live full out.
