What happens when two visibility‑obsessed women say yes to meeting in a hotel lobby in St. Louis—and end up building instant community on camera? In this live‑style episode of Women Getting Visible, host Christina Vidovich sits down with Nicole Tucker Ingram, founder & CEO of Empower Business Solutions and creator of BOSS BIA™, to talk about why “visibility is a vibe,” authentic networking, and what it really means to be the boss of your own world.

Nicole shares how BOSS BIA was born in May 2025 as a women’s networking movement that centers connection over card‑flinging, spotlighting women‑owned coffee shops and cafés around St. Louis and Jefferson County through pop‑up “Brew & Biz” tours and happy hours. She explains why she intentionally pairs women in the room, uses lanyards instead of random mingling, and focuses on women getting to know each other deeply enough to actually refer business—not just pad a CRM.

They dive into what “visibility is a vibe” means in practice: showing your face on social media, being unapologetically yourself (snorts, cuss words and all), and refusing to hide behind generic posts or a fake, “prim and proper” persona that no one remembers. Nicole tells the story of a client in insurance who stayed invisible by trying to look perfect and how everything shifted when she leaned into who she really was.

Nicole also gets honest about burning out as a business banking officer, falling into depression, and realizing her heart was with small and women‑owned businesses—not chasing only big numbers. That breakdown became the catalyst for launching Empower Business Solutions, coaching women on visibility, networking, branding, and value‑driven sales while building a networking ecosystem where women stop asking each other for discounts and start paying and referring one another like they would any other professional.​

Christina and Nicole swap visibility scores (Nicole at about 7.5–8.25 out of 10, Christina at 5 and climbing), talk imposter syndrome, and remind listeners that leveling up starts with being radically honest about where you are and where you want to go.​
