What does it take to grow a business without losing yourself in the process?

In this solo episode of This Is How We Rise, Nika reflects on an unexpected podcast cancellation and the importance of not taking setbacks personally. She also shares how healing from trauma helped her find clarity, trust her vision, and build her business differently.

Nika introduces the vision behind Next Era, a platform helping women grow businesses, build wealth, and create greater ownership over their lives.

This honest conversation is a reminder that meaningful growth does not have to come at the expense of your mental health or well-being.

How do you change careers when you’ve spent years in one profession and don’t know what else you could do?
