267: Setting Boundaries Will Set You Free with Nancy Levin

Thanks for joining me for this final episode of Summer 2021. I’ll be back in a few months, but I’ll be busy this autumn, as my paintings will be featured in three art shows, including the upcoming Clio Art Fair in NYC, September 9-12. 

I’m honored to be named one of NYC’s Artist Corps Grant winners, which means I’ll receive city funds to create an art show for women and non-binary artists who are living and working in Brooklyn. The vision and name for the show came from what I call my “50 Failures Project,” the topic for today’s show. Join me!

This show is an unusual one in that it’s a solo episode. There is no guest; it’s just me, and I’m focusing on one topic that will resonate with many people. Do you want to leave your job? Has the pandemic affected your goals, aspirations, and what you want out of life? If your answer is YES, then take heart. You are not alone. There are three things you can do right now to be part of what’s being called “The Great Resignation.” Let’s talk about it.
