About Nancy
I am a writer, speaker and world traveler who lives in Montana, Big Sky Country.
Ever since I can remember, I’ve loved to create and explore. In college, I started out studying art and French with dreams of international travel, but my inner critic got in the way. I told myself I needed to be more practical, and so I ended with a degree in advertising/marketing. Later, I explored my creativity by writing about fascinating people through a newspaper that I started. This time, life got in the way. I found myself divorced and broke with a nine-year-old daughter to raise.
So I went back to work in marketing, earned an MBA, and have spent more than a decade climbing the corporate ladder. During this time, I also started dating again, and ended up with one failed relationship after the other.
Something had to change, but I didn’t know what. I decided to take up cycling, and that led to a bike tour across France. I arrived in France on July 4. America’s Independence Day marked a new freedom for me. In France I wasn’t a corporate middle-manager, a mother or someone’s girlfriend. I was reborn into a beautiful new world—without responsibilities or expectations. I had time to ponder life as a single parent and post-divorce dating. And I wrote about my travels through a blog. My reflections led to the book: Cycling, Wine, and Men: A Midlife Tour de France.
My goal with my writing is to inspire women to heed the call of their passions. Many women feel so obligated by their responsibilities that they have forgotten what gives them delight. I believe by finding your path and exploring your world, you’ll create a life that nurtures your soul.
