Have you ever felt a gnawing sense of dissatisfaction despite achieving significant career milestones? You're not alone. Our guest for this episode, Dr. Nikia Smith, a successful anesthesiologist, shares her personal tale of grappling with the same. She shares her journey of self-discovery, overcoming the "arrival fallacy," and realizing that true happiness and fulfillment can't be found in titles or external sources but must come from within. As a Black woman, she emphasizes the rising need for a strong community and staying connected with like-minded individuals. Tune in for practical advice on handling societal pressures, staying true to yourself, and maintaining a healthy online presence.

Dr. Nikia Smith is the founder of Forged N Fire. She is an anesthesiologist by day, but the pandemic opened her eyes to how burnt out and unfulfilled she was. She took a leap of faith and courage and organized a retreat to transform women physicians of color. During this event, she discovered immense joy in creating a safe space for genuine connections and vulnerable moments. Her passion is to carry forward the incredible journey of fostering community and deep connections among women of color.
