In Part 2, Dr. Nikia Smith takes us deeper into the work of transformation—what happens after you recognize misalignment, burnout, or harm, and how you begin to rebuild from a place of truth instead of survival.

She speaks openly about power dynamics in medicine, the emotional labor placed on women physicians, and why healing is not a detour from leadership—it’s the foundation of it.

We discuss:
• Setting boundaries in systems that resist them
• Letting go of shame and external validation
• Leading from authenticity instead of obligation
• Creating space for rest, rage, and renewal

This episode is for anyone who’s been pushed to their edge—and is ready to rise differently.
