Real talk for women of faith reclaiming identity, purpose, and peace. Honest conversations on burnout & hustle culture, decolonized faith, and the beauty of becoming victoriously unbothered. coachnikkicates.substack.com
In this episode, Nikki shares the audio from her UNMASKing the Hustle presentation, naming why exhaustion is often a systemic issue—not a personal failure—especially for women leaders.

What to Leave Behind in 2025 and What to Build in 2026
Welcome to Season 3 of Sisters Unbothered Podcast with Coach Nikki, your safe space for truth-telling, healing, and cultural resistance.
In this New Year, the first episode of 2026, Coach Nikki opens up about what it means to flourish in systems not built for us as Black women, as daughters of the diaspora, and as truth-bearers in a society built on suppression.
Drawing from the book of Jeremiah and real-world struggle, she unpacks what we need to leave in 2025, how to stop waiting for a savior, and why now is the time to unlearn survival, rebuild in exile, and show up whole.
This episode is a blend of sacred strategy, lived experience, and cultural clarity, no fluff, just truth.
In this episode:
The emotional & spiritual toll of “holding it all together.”
Why God still calls us to build — even in exile
How to find your peace without seeking their permission
2026 intentions: faith over fear, presence over panic
The power of unmasking, unlearning, and showing up differently

Unmasking Our Assignment
This week’s episode is a soul-deep surrender.
In Unmasking Our Assignment: Called, Tired & Finally Letting Go, I’m sharing what it means to release the pressure to produce, even when you're good at it. Especially when you’re praised for it.
Because being good at something doesn’t always mean you were called to carry it.
In this sacred pause, I reflect on:
* The myth of mass production
* How we perform purpose
* Why surrender is strength
* And the God who sees us—El Roi
If you’re in a season of fatigue, spiritual reevaluation, or realignment, this episode is your permission slip to unmask the assignments that no longer belong to you.
