For Women Who Are Feeling BURNT OUT | Dr. Nikia Smith | 58

Remember to SUBSCRIBE for more interviews like this one! BIO: Hello! I’m Nikia Smith. I am the founder of Forged N Fire. I am an anesthesiologist by profession. The pandemic made me realize how burned out I was feeling and that I was truly lacking fulfillment. I planned and hosted She Is... A Physician Wellness retreat for female physicians of color and truly found joy in providing a safe space for vulnerable moments. We often lose ourselves in our titles (boss, mom, wife, colleague) and we need to tap into the things that bring us peace and joy. Once we establish that, we can transform into the best version of ourselves. I plan to continue this journey of community and connection amongst professional women of color through curated experiences that allow us to be our most authentic selves.I hope to inspire other professional women of color to stop merely surviving and to thrive. We can live the life we want, the life we deserve, the life we worked so hard for. I do believe women will change the world but we can not do that if we don't take care of ourselves first.
