How to return to previously nested `while True` loops?

Question

Say I have something in this kind of format:

while True1:
    if something:
        do some thing
    elif something else:
        do something else
        while True2:
            if something1:
                do some thing1
            if something2:
                do some thing2
            if want to end this while True2 loop
                go back to first while True1 loop
    elif something else else:
        do some thing else else

etc.

How can I make something within a while True loop go back to a previous while True loop that it was nested inside?

The break statement does just that.

while True: #1
    if something:
        do something
    elif something else:
        do something else
        while True: #2
            if something1:
                do something
            if something2:
                do something else
            if want to end this while True #2 loop:
                break            # will break out of the innermost loop only
    elif something else else:
        do some thing else else
