In this episode of Women Connected in Wisdom, Christine and guest co-host Sacil are joined by Dr. Nikia Smith - a board-certified anesthesiologist, wellness coach, and the visionary founder of She Is Fire Forged.

With over a decade of experience in the high-pressure world of medicine, Dr. Nikia brings a deeply informed perspective to the exhaustion that many women in leadership face every day.

We focus on the Occupational Wellness dimension, exploring what happens when we stop trying to be everything for everyone. Dr. Nikia explains how to set boundaries without the heavy weight of guilt and how to build a professional life rooted in your own definition of success. Whether you are in healthcare, corporate leadership, or entrepreneurship, this conversation offers the tools to help you move out of survival mode and into a space of softness and sustainability.

Women Connected in Wisdom is a community-driven podcast hosted by Christine Gautreaux, where we connect through the 8 dimensions of wellness to live a more balanced, purposeful life.
