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.
We were told to sacrifice ourselves to lead — but the future belongs to women who lead from their full, intuitive brilliance.

Don't Set Your 2026 Goals Until You Do This
If you’re heading into the end of the year feeling behind, disappointed, or hard on yourself — this episode is for you.
Before you set a single 2026 goal, I want to help you gently, honestly, and compassionately reflect on your 2025… in a way that actually heals you so you're set up for a powerful new year.
Every excellent forward plan begins with an honest look back — and throughout this episode, you’ll take back any power you lost so you can step into next year feeling clear, empowered, and with the breathing room you need for your best year yet.
We’ll walk through a guided reflection designed to help ambitious women in leadership rewrite the stories they’ve been telling themselves — the ones tinted by perfectionism, survival mode, and old conditioning.
You’ll learn how to:
• Shift from self-judgment to self-compassion
• Separate facts from the stories your stress has been telling
• Reclaim your power from old narratives
• Evaluate your year across four key areas: health, work, love, and play
• Recognize the growth and evolution you may have overlooked
• Rewrite a truer, kinder, more empowering version of your year
Because when you change the story you’re telling about 2025 — you change the energy you’re carrying into 2026.
You’re not behind.
You’re becoming.
