To Hell With Aging with Nancy Berggren
Manage episode 416132382 series 3527016
A recent health scare has lit a fire, inspiring ninety-year-old Nancy to recommit to the resilience, intellectual curiosity, and brain plasticity that defines her. She has always ministered by example and through her craft, but more and more, that contribution inspires others to live their best lives at any age and remain engaged, productive, and relevant.
Nancy reflects on her core essence, which she discovered while performing as a child. Onstage, she felt like a vessel— a conduit for something she now recognizes as pure love. Nancy walks us through her acting days, her years as a wife, mother, and grandmother, and this most recent chapter she refers to as Chapter Three. Dominick shares his own brush with death which inspired 'Language of the Soul,' both the book and the podcast. It has become a meeting place for those seeking to understand life's transformative moments in the context of STORY.
Guest Bio: Nancy B pours her passion and love of life into everything she does.

Now more than ever, it’s tempting to throw our hands in the air and surrender to futility in the face of global strife. Storytellers know we must renew hope daily. We are being called upon to embrace our interconnectivity, transform paradigms, and trust the ripple effect will play its part. In the words of Lion King producer Don Hahn (Episode 8), “Telling stories is one of the most important professions out there right now.” We here at Language of the Soul Podcast could not agree more.
This podcast is a labor of love. You can help us spread the word about the power of story to transform. Your donation, however big or small, will help us build our platform and thereby get the word out. Together, we can change the world…one heart at a time!
