Nancy Taylor is the founder of Taylor Educational Advocacy, where she helps families create effective, personalized plans so children can thrive in school and beyond. With more than 30 years of experience as a school psychologist and administrator, Nancy has guided thousands of parents, students, and educators through complex challenges. In midlife, she courageously transitioned out of the traditional school system to launch her own advocacy practice—allowing her to design a career aligned with her values of balance, autonomy, and purpose. Today, Nancy combines her expertise with her passion for coaching, helping families, young adults, and women in transition discover strategies that work and pathways that inspire.

Key takeaways:

💡Redefine Success on Your Terms: Midlife is the perfect time to evolve your definition of success—from chasing external validation or job titles to prioritizing autonomy, creativity, and joy in daily life.

💡 Your Past Doesn’t Limit Your Future: Even if you started in a stable but unfulfilling career, you can pivot in midlife. Nancy’s story shows that it’s possible to transition from a traditional system into building a meaningful business that aligns with your values.

💡 Balance Matters More Than “More”: It’s not always about earning more money—it’s about wisely balancing money, time, and energy to create a life that truly reflects what you value: health, family, and meaningful contribution.
