Leading H.E.R. Way Podcast
What if I told you that building a successful business doesn’t have to mean running yourself into the ground? Welcome to Leading HER Way, the podcast that challenges the outdated belief that success has to come with burnout. I’m Nikisha, your disruptive coach, and after 15 years of growing multiple businesses, I’ve learned that working harder isn’t the answer—building smarter is. Every week, I sit down with powerhouse women entrepreneurs and wedding pros who’ve cracked the code to scaling their businesses while reclaiming their time. You’ll hear raw, unfiltered conversations, client transformations, and behind-the-scenes success stories proving that your business can thrive without you constantly putting out fires. Here’s what you’ll take away: ✔️ How to build 7-figure systems that scale—so you’re not stuck in the weeds of your business. ✔️ How to stop being the bottleneck and design a business that runs smoothly without you. ✔️ Social proof from industry leaders who have mastered this shift—and are here to show you how. So, if you’re ready to work less while earning more, hit play, and let’s create a business that ignites your freedom. 🔥
