About Nancy McNaughton:
Nancy McNaughton is the founding director of Opening Doors to Success Inc., which she officially incorporated in 2009. Her organization employs a team of professionals who work with under and unemployed community members to connect with meaningful business opportunities in the Southeast Manitoba region. The success of the organization is attributed to its major focus on empowering their clients to value themselves and the gifts they have to offer their community while becoming aware of the mindsets holding them back.
In addition to Opening Doors to Success, Nancy is an Erickson Professional Life Coach and the owner of Dreality Coaching Services. She teaches her system, tools, and strategies to help her clients become more self-aware while building their emotional wellness. She believes that we cannot truly live our dreams without a level of emotional fitness.
Nancy was diagnosed with clinical depression in her 20’s. Living in a deep dark pit of despair, she was told that she could live a normal life if she remained on the prescribed medication for the rest of her life. She refused to live a normal life and decided to have an exceptional life without the medication. She didn’t realize at the time that this decision would lead her to a journey that would reveal to her, the strategies and key fundamentals to emotional fitness, and overcoming depression.
Nancy is passionate about achieving what many may consider impossible. Her personal complete recovery from a mental illness diagnosis over twenty years ago has been her motivation for success. Nancy has made it her life’s mission to help others see their value and believe that it is possible to live their dreams. She believes that she has the cure for depression and she wants the world to know that there is hope and a system.
What We Discuss In This Episode:
Nancy shares a powerful story of how she healed herself from a deep depression where she was on medication and was not living the life that she wanted. One day she had a “personal revelation” that took her on a journey of personal development and self-healing coupled with a deep desire to help others.
During this process, she learned that fear and insecurity were the driving force for her depression, but in the process, she realized that self-awareness and confidence were key ingredients on this healing journey.
She works by knowing that everyone is in a different place on their journey to self-awareness. A big key in the journey to health and wholeness is acceptance, self-love, and forgiving yourself. It’s not about focusing on what’s wrong with you but flipping it around to truly seek what you want in your life. Nancy shares that a big part of this powerful journey is learning that we are enough -- we need to learn how to know, “I am enough.” By writing a love letter to yourself and listing the things you like about yourself coupled with gratitude you will find that if you are in this situation yourself but follow some of these key elements, it can be totally life-changing. She shares she learned how to dream big – and we can dream big too, and have success in our lives.
