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.
