WELCOME!
YOUR WAY:
A NEW WAY TO RESERVE PRIVATE TIME WITH NAN O'BRIEN
AS SHE BEGINS HER FIVE-YEAR TRANSITION TOWARD RETIREMENT
CHANGE = GROWTH
Radio. Television. Live public events. Breakout public sessions. Private Group Sessions. Individual phone sessions: Tens of thousands of hours on the phone with you for more than twenty-three years of sharing your spiritual journey (the first 20 years in the video above). Now, it's time for me to continue on my path a different way.
I am no longer coming to the States to do Private Group Sessions. I am taking my last group of wonderful folks to Lanzarote the end of this month. Now, I want to share with you I am only going to have limited availability for private phone sessions, ultimately stopping them, too.
Time for me - finally taking my own advice to seek balance and to self-nurture.
Why now? For the past thirteen years since moving to Europe, I have traveled internationally at least six months out of every year. It's physics - I simply can't keep up that pace. Recent losses of significant people in my life have made me realize that the most precious gifts I can give myself are health and time.
That said, I can't just walk away from you, for either of us. So, I've created a plan that I think supports both as I transition to a new career opportunity this year and retirement in five years: Your Way.
You Decide
Minutes, Not Sessions - You Decide
Have one quick question? Use 15 minutes. Need more? Use 30, 45, 60 minutes - or longer. Use your time YOUR WAY. The sessions are recorded, so you always know how many minutes you've used and what your minutes balance is.
Give Time. Share Time. Split Time.
Your minutes can be gifted, shared - or you can split a package with someone else.
Give: Turn any number of your minutes into a gift certificate. Half hour? Forty-five minutes? An hour? YOU decide! A private, recorded phone session is the perfect gift for a birthday, anniversary, wedding, baby shower, graduation, major life transition, or simply because someone you care about needs support during a loss or difficult time. Downloadable gift certificates are available. The number of minutes YOU choose to give are deducted from your available minutes balance.
Share: Let friends or family use minutes from your package if they need them. Decide how many minutes you want to share, add the authorized person's name and minutes on your personal page, and their used minutes will be deducted from your available balance.
Split: Want to purchase the Five-Year, Three-Year, or One-Year Plan with a friend or family member? One person purchases the package, the other reimburses that person for their share, and you divide the minutes between you however you choose. Split it 50/50, or divide the cost and minutes another way - it's up to you.
For example: Two people can split the Five-Year Plan equally. Each pays $500 and each has 300 minutes (5 hours) to use over the five-year period ending December 31, 2031.
Your Online Scheduling
Schedule online without having to coordinate with me personally. Simply check the online calendar to schedule an appointment for the number of minutes YOU decide you want to use.
Your Private Page
You will have your own private, password-protected page on this website (private portal currently in development). On your personal page, you will see your total available minutes, the date and amount of minutes you used, your available balance, and any gift certificates you've used. AND, links to all of your personal recordings of our sessions together will be in one place - no need to go searching multiple emails from me to access them!
Your Private Phone Number to Reach Me
I've set up a phone number exclusively for Your Way clients. You can text or call me at the number at no expense to you, no matter where in the world I may be.
Your Minutes Are Protected
Let's be honest - life happens. If I would become unable to fulfill your purchased minutes during the time period you have selected, your unused minutes are refunded at your package's hourly rate. If you are unable to use your minutes, you can gift them to someone else (no refund if you do not use the purchased minutes).

Three Words. Fourteen Years Later.
Sometimes we don't know when a conversation will matter — or how long its impact will last.
In 2012, during a phone session with a client I first connected with twenty years ago, we were talking about the struggle to forgive someone who had caused tremendous hurt.
I explained that we don't have to forgive an unforgivable action. We can separate the person's heart from the action and forgive the imperfect heart — recognizing that our own hearts are imperfect, too.
I said three simple words:
“Forgive her heart.”
Yesterday, fourteen years later, a book arrived at my door.
Michelle had written Forgiving the Heart.
What I Didn't Know
Book Dedication
I opened Michelle's book, shocked to see the Dedication:
"In gratitude to Nan, for three simple words that remain with me."
And then, inscribed beneath the Dedication:
“This book exists because of a moment you may never have realized would change my life. Thank you for your three simple words, your wisdom, your counsel, and the gift they became.”
— Michelle
I'll be honest - I cried when I read it.
Like many of my clients across the globe, Michelle and I have never met in person, yet we've been deeply connected through our conversations for twenty years.
I had no idea that something said during a session fourteen years ago had stayed with her, changed something in her life, and that it would ultimately help inspire her to write a book to likewise help others.
It's a beautiful book. Impactful. Wonderfully raw, honest, and insightful. To learn more about Michelle's book, please visit her book on Amazon: https://a.co/d/00hkerFA
You Never Know
Choosing Your Way minutes isn't about knowing today what we might need to talk about three or five years from now.
If nothing else, my work for more than two decades has taught me that none of us knows that.
It's about knowing that, when something happens - to you or someone you love - and you want to talk, you've already reserved the time to do it.
Sometimes one conversation matters for years.
That's why I wanted to give you the opportunity to reserve our time together in the next few years leading up to my retirement.
Your Way and COTA - Helping Remi
MEET REMI
Recently, I met the family of a beautiful little baby boy named Remi.
Remi needs a life-saving liver transplant and is currently living with his parents at Boston Children’s Hospital awaiting his transplant.
As the mother of four healthy grandchildren, meeting Remi's family touched me deeply. I knew I wanted to help. I also have a personal connection and commitment to organ donation, as my brother-in-law's life was saved by a liver transplant two months after my sister passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2022. It's important; it matters to me deeply.
So I have committed to donating 10% of the proceeds from every Your Way purchase to COTA for the benefit of Remi.
COTA — the Children’s Organ Transplant Association — provides fundraising assistance and family support for children and young adults facing life-saving transplants, with funds used for transplant-related expenses.
When you reserve time for yourself through Your Way, part of your purchase will also help COTA support a family who needs time of a very different kind. You can also make a donation to COTA using the QR code on COTA'S page for the benefit of Remi (below).
YOUR QUESTIONS
Anytime during the term of your Your Way plan. You don't need to use your minutes in full-hour sessions. Schedule 15, 30, 45, 60 minutes—or more—depending on what you need.
Your time is available for the full term of the plan you purchase:
Five-Year Plan: Through December 31, 2031
Three-Year Plan: Through December 31, 2029
One-Year Plan: Through December 31, 2027
You'll have access to an online scheduler on this website, where you can choose from available appointment times to make your appointment in 15-minute increments. (NOTE: Prior to the access to the online appointment scheduler, you will call the office on the dedicated Your Way phone line).
Absolutely. And because you're purchasing minutes rather than sessions, you decide how much time you'd like to give. Minutes are deducted from your available balance when you issue the gift certificate from your personal page.
A gift certificate might be for a birthday, anniversary, wedding, baby shower, graduation or other celebration - or for someone experiencing a loss, difficult decision or major life transition who could simply use some support.
GIFT IT: Give any number of your minutes to someone else as a gift certificate. Those minutes are deducted from your balance at the time you issue the gift certificate and are reflected in your available minutes total.
SHARE IT: Allow a friend or family member to use minutes from your plan while you both continue drawing from the same bank of available time.
SPLIT IT: Purchase a plan together. One person makes the purchase, and you divide the cost and minutes between you however you choose.
For example, two people can split the Five-Year Plan: $500 each gives each person 300 minutes (5 hours) to use during the five-year period.
You will have your own private, password-protected page accessible via a private portal on this website. Your personal page will show your purchased time, time you've used, minutes you've gifted/shared, and the time you have remaining.
Your balance will be based on the actual recorded minutes of your sessions, making it easy to always know exactly how many minutes you have remaining.
Links to all of your personal recordings will be kept on your private page, giving you one place to find your Your Way sessions without your having to search through numerous emails.
Once you sign up for Your Way, you will receive a welcome email containing - among other things - an unpublished number solely for Your Way members. You can text or call at any at no cost to you, regardless of where I am - Europe or the U.S. (or somewhere else!) ;)
Before your plan expires, you can gift your remaining minutes to someone else - or divide between people - so the minutes can still be used.
Life happens. If for some reason I become unable to fulfill your remaining Your Way minutes, you will receive a refund for your unused minutes based on the hourly rate of the plan you purchased.
There are a limited number of available plans. If you want to purchase more than one plan and it's available, you may do so.
Because the limit is real.
I have determined how much private-session time I can realistically make available during these final years before I retire, as I am beginning a new venture this Fall. The number of Your Way plans available is based on that time.
Once that time has been reserved, I will not add additional private-session availability.
You and/or anyone for whom you purchased a gift certificate previously have until December 31, 2027 to redeem any gift certificates you have currently. If you purchase a Your Way plan, those session minutes are additional and separate from any gift certificate you may now have.
READY TO SIGN UP FOR YOUR WAY?
Venmo is the preferred method of payment. @Nan-OBrien-2. I also accept Chime $Nancy-Obrien-8 and Zelle nanobriensts@gmail.com. Debit and credit cards accepted, please call or text 1.646.493.8898.
Simply choose your package, pay the package fee as noted above, and you will receive an email with your Your Way membership number and dedicated phone line number to text or call to schedule (until the private portal is completed) and/or to speak with me for more urgent needs.
Once the YOUR WAY time I have allocated has been reserved, enrollment in Your Way will end.
In closing, THANK YOU for allowing me to be a part of your life for more than two decades! It has been an honor and a privilege to support you on your journey!
