Roanoke// May Connection Event: Defying Fear with Dr. Nancy Meyer

Join FemCity Roanoke for our montly signature connection event featuring speaker and Author, DR. Nancy Meyer.

Dr. Nancy Meyer is an author, speaker, and courage coach who captivates her audiences with her dynamic personality and her overcomer spirit. As a licensed Chiropractic Physician, successful businesswoman, and accomplished midlife Ironman triathlete, she sheds new light on topics such as Defying Fear, Finding Courage, Embracing Your Value, and Discovering Rest. She is a wife, mom, and proud grandmother, who overcame her fears and now shows others how they can, too.

She was 53 when she signed up for her first triathlon, even though she had to learn to swim, and she is a testament to personal determination and all that God can accomplish. She has a natural gift for encouragement, never meeting a stranger, and she is affectionately known as "Olaf" because of her love of warm hugs. In addition to her personal achievements, she coaches individuals and businesses on confronting fears, overcoming anxieties, and discovering the beauty of a victorious life.

Her best-selling book, Defying Fear: Finding the Courage to Embrace Your True Value, is available at DrNancyMeyer.com.
