“Nancy Regan has charted an illuminating, intimate, and unceasingly courageous course through the challenging landscape of the soul. A revelatory, accessible, and searingly honest memoir of one woman's journey to self-awareness.”

—RON JAMES, comedian and author of All Over the Map

“A crisp, insightful, and inspirational guide to the art of living in the present, connecting with others, and contributing to community. Nancy succeeds in illuminating the darkness and spreading light to others.”

—The Hon. MYRA FREEMAN, former Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia

"Nancy has always been good at telling other people's stories; she's done a masterful job sharing her own, with authenticity and good humour."

—Steve Murphy, CTV news broadcaster

"As Miles Davis famously said, 'Man, sometimes it takes a long time to sound like yourself.' I have struggled for years as a broadcaster to do this. Nancy Regan taught me how. For that, I will be forever grateful. It's all in this book."

—MARY LYNK, CBC radio journalist and podcast host

“From Showing Off to Showing UP is so much more than a book. Nancy Regan parks her ego and bares her soul. A novel lens on life, it provides an honest and open look at what it means to be human—and will leave you feeling enlightened and ready to rise to the challenge of becoming more.”

—STARR CUNNINGHAM, President & CEO, Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia

"A beautiful call to live a more authentic and fearless life. Insightful, funny, and unblinking in its self-examination. Read it, and you may get to know yourself a little better."

—ANNE BÉRUBÉ Ph.D., author of The Burnout Antidote and Be Feel Think Do

“Nancy achieves such intimacy of tone that a reader may feel like an eavesdropper to a religious confessional or to a patient on a psychiatrist’s couch.... It is a journey through some of the vast literature of ‘know thyself,’ in all guises, in effect creating what could almost be a living introduction for a course in continuing education for readers with enough life experience to appreciate it.”

—ROBERT MACNEIL, Author and Former Host of the MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour on PBS, NYC

"From Showing Off to Showing UP" is a deeply vulnerable account of personal and public life, and an inspiring transformation from self-loathing to self-love."

—MARIA PANOPALIS, Television co-host and producer

"I loved this book. Everything about it impressed me. Nancy’s writing style is incredibly engaging and there’s so much humour. She weaves personal anecdotes, the wisdom of others, and her own stunning insight to create a book you’ll reflect back on long after you’ve turned the last page.”

—ALLISON HUNT, HATCH Research Intelligence Inc., Toronto

“Love the prose, love the authenticity, love the vulnerability and humanity. This book is a gift.”
