Nancy Manet

For Nancy Manet, personal growth as a parent did not come quickly.

Nancy Manet is a singer-songwriter and first-time author. She spent most of her adult life running a small business and raising her children.

Raised in a strict religious community, Nancy did all the right things that “good girls” do.

When Nancy first had children, she expected they would behave according to rigid, dogmatic rules.

That didn’t work so well.

In appearance and behavior, Nancy thought her kids should be like perfectly-potted tulips arranged neatly in nice rows. Instead, her daughter was more like a wildflower.

As her daughter began to share her different views of the world, Nancy had a choice. Listen to her daughter and expand as a parent or force her rigid belief system on her daughter.

Nancy chooses to expand and now embraces the world through a different lens – inclusive and accepting of all.

Nancy lives in the country at home with her two Beagles (Lucy and Linus). She enjoys her close-knit community of friends, and you will often find her watching a local band while cutting it up on the dance floor.
