Unpack It with Nancy

Think of columnist Nancy Mendelson as your straight-talking mentor and your biggest cheerleader rolled into one. She doesn’t just write about life, work, and everything in between…she “unpacks” it with candor, humor, and the kind of perspective you only get from actually living it.

What makes this column different? It isn’t theory or recycled advice…it’s real. Nancy has been there:

She’s climbed the ladders of glossy media and corporate life.

She’s launched companies, savored big wins, and survived spectacular flops.

She’s worked for men and women, been the boss, and felt invisible.

She’s advised CEOs, guided students, and stood by colleagues when they doubted themselves.
 

Every piece comes with honesty, heart, and a touch of hard-earned wisdom. You won’t just find lessons, you’ll find resonance. Because if it happens at work or in life, chances are it’s happened to Nancy too. And she’s not afraid to tell the truth about it.

So, what’s weighing on you? Ask Nancy. She’ll unpack it…with warmth, wit, and the reassurance that you’re never navigating life alone.
