Nancy’s books are deeply personal accounts of growth, heartbreak, and the path to self-love. Each story invites readers to reflect, heal, and reconnect with their own truth—offering guidance through vulnerability, strength through storytelling, and light in the midst of transformation.
Two Suitcases and a Carry-On
A Memoir of Heartbreak, Surrender, and Self-Love
After leaving her island home of 30 years for love, Nancy Arcayna returned heartbroken, without a home, a job, or a relationship. What followed was a journey from rock bottom to radical self-acceptance.
Through raw and personal accounts, Nancy shares how she faced pain, betrayal, and despair, then found healing through self-compassion, spiritual growth, and inner trust.
This memoir is more than a story—it’s a guide for anyone ready to release the past and begin a passionate love affair with themselves.
Checked Out to Checked In
What if getting lost was the only way to find yourself?
In this heartfelt tale, Nancy Arcayna invites you on a transformative journey from burnout to breakthrough. After years of people-pleasing, perfectionism and going through the motions, she reached a breaking point and chose to walk away from a life that no longer felt like her own.
Trading comfort for courage, Nancy set off on a solo adventure around the globe, hoping to reconnect with the parts of herself she had long silenced. From the lush jungles of Costa Rica to the serene temples of Southeast Asia, her path wasn’t always easy but it was honest, raw and real.
Through moments of fear, laughter, healing and unexpected grace, Checked Out to Checked In is a vulnerable and empowering exploration of what happens when you stop living for others and start listening to the wisdom within.
This is not just a travel story. It’s an invitation to rediscover who you are by turning inward and honoring the voice you’ve long ignored.
