    Feb 21 2025

    What If Your Business Actually Worked With Your Health Instead of Against It? Traditional business advice wasn’t made for those of us managing chronic illness. The hustle, the long hours, the pressure—it’s exhausting and unsustainable. But what if your business could be built around your energy, your health, and your actual life?

    ✔️ How to create a business model that respects your energy levels
    ✔️ Charging what you’re worth—even when you doubt yourself
    ✔️ Making visibility work for you (even when you don’t feel your best)
    ✔️ The financial reality of running a business with chronic illness

    If you’ve ever thought I want to start or grow my business, but I don’t know how to make it work with my health—this episode is for you.

  • Evolving Identities: Chronic Illness and Self-Perception {Updated}
    Feb 7 2025

    After an unintentional break, Nikita returns with a fresh perspective—not just on her podcast, but on her own evolving identity with chronic illness. In this candid and thought-provoking episode, she shares the shifts she’s experienced, including why the term chronic illness warrior no longer resonates with her and how that realization is influencing her work, business, and even the future of the podcast itself.

Nikita explores these questions and more, offering a glimpse into what’s ahead in 2025 and how she’s embracing business growth that prioritizes alignment over exhaustion.

    Plus, she teases an upcoming conversation with a returning guest who has mastered the art of building a business while honoring her energy. You won’t want to miss it!
