Embracing Pleasure: A Journey to Authenticity and Joy with Dr Nikki Coleman

In this episode of This Woman Can, Janice welcomes Dr. Nikki Coleman, an award-winning psychologist and pleasure coach, who shares her inspiring journey from academia to entrepreneurship. 

After nearly two decades in a tenured position, Dr. Nikki faced burnout and realized she needed to prioritize her own happiness. She took a bold leap into the corporate healthcare DEI sector before fully investing in herself as a full-time entrepreneur in 2021.

Join Janice and Dr. Nikki as they discuss the power of self-advocacy, the importance of prioritizing pleasure, and the challenges of navigating societal expectations as a Black woman in midlife. 

Dr. Nikki reveals how she created the Pleasure Pursuit, a planner and journal designed to help women prioritize their pleasure and well-being.

- How to recognize and combat burnout in your career.
- The significance of defining success on your own terms.
- Strategies for embracing pleasure and self-care in daily life.
- The impact of societal expectations on Black women’s identities.
- Tips for navigating midlife transitions with confidence and authenticity 

Whether you're contemplating a career shift or seeking to reclaim your joy, this conversation will empower you to embrace your journey with clarity and purpose.
