In this eye-opening episode of Overcome: A Mental Health Podcast, host Travis White sits down with holistic coach and podcast host Nicolette Nierras to explore the deep connection between success, burnout, and self-worth.

After years of climbing the corporate ladder, Nicolette found herself checked out emotionally, spiritually, and mentally—despite having everything she thought would bring fulfillment. What followed was a journey through divorce, disillusionment, and ultimately rediscovery of her true self.

Nicolette opens up about shedding societal expectations, healing from imposter syndrome, and the powerful role of inner work in reclaiming self-worth. Her story is a reminder that true success isn’t about status—it’s about alignment, inner peace, and showing up for yourself authentically.

If you’ve ever questioned your value beyond your job title or struggled with self-doubt, this episode will speak to your soul.

What We Discuss:

• Why self-worth often gets tied to career success and achievements
• The emotional toll of living out of alignment with your true purpose
• Nicolette’s journey from corporate burnout to holistic healing
• How the loss of a job became a gateway to self-trust and self-worth
• The impact of divorce, COVID, and isolation on identity and confidence
• Imposter syndrome and how high achievers can rebuild inner belief
• The mindset shift from fear and scarcity to love and abundance
• What it means to live an abundant life rooted in self-worth
• Practical ways to reconnect with your worth through action, not perfection
• The power of community, coaching, and speaking up for mental health
