Burn Beautiful
Burn Beautiful is the podcast for ambitious, mission-driven women who are done self-abandoning for success. Host Nicole Whitaker, founder of Lead Up Health and creator of the H.E.R.S.™ method, explores how healing stress, reclaiming your energy, and leading from your whole self unlocks both a fulfilling life and transformational leadership.

Beyond Fitting In: How Belonging Transforms Women’s Leadership (and Life)
Belonging isn’t soft — it’s survival. And it may be the most undervalued leadership skill you have.
In this episode, Nicole breaks down how heart-based connection reduces stress, fuels real health, and transforms work culture for better results. You’ll learn the difference between fitting in and belonging, why “being seen and seeing others” is the core of trust, and simple practices to create psychological safety on your team — without oversharing or losing boundaries.
Nicole shares a personal story about being truly seen at work (and how it changed everything), plus practical tools you can use today:
- 3 ways to see your people (and why it boosts performance)
- How to let yourself be seen as a leader — minus the performative vulnerability
- The “Knowns & Unknowns” check-in for change and uncertainty
- A 2×2 feedback ritual that builds safety and accountability
If you’re done performing leadership and ready to embody it, press play. We rise in community — we burn beautiful, together.
