This week on She Talks Business, I'm joined by the extraordinary Nick Nanton—someone who's built a career on doing work that only he can do.

Nick is a 22-time Emmy Award–winning director and producer who has created more than 60 documentaries and worked with some of the most iconic names in the world—think Richard Branson, Tony Robbins, Larry King, Magic Johnson, Dolly Parton, and more. His films have streamed on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, and have even taken us into the heart of human trafficking raids in Haiti. He's also a bestselling author, gold record-earning songwriter, and host of the docuseries In Case You Didn't Know.

But today's conversation isn't about celebrity. It's about clarity.

We dig into the mindset behind Nick's success, the self-doubt he's faced, the comparison traps he's escaped, and how he's learned to identify and operate from what Dan Sullivan calls a "unique ability." This concept from Dan is something we both operate our business and structure our time with this in mind.

If you've ever wondered whether you're good enough, ready enough, or "doing it right," this episode is for you.

Dealing With Imposter Syndrome At The Top

Yes, even people with 22 Emmys have moments where they wonder if they belong. Nick shares how imposter syndrome has followed him into rooms filled with billionaires and why reframing those moments has been essential to his growth. You'll hear how that shift can quiet the noise and help you step fully into your own potential.

Tune Out The Comparison Gene

We all do it—scrolling, spiraling, stacking ourselves up against someone else's highlight reel. This part of the conversation is a refreshing reminder that comparison isn't just unproductive, it's often a complete illusion. If you've been feeling behind, this will help you realign and reset.

Tune Into Your Unique Ability

What are you world-class at? Nick and I talk about the Dan Sullivan concept of "unique ability"—the zone where your passion, skill, and natural genius collide—and how it takes time to tune in and prioritize it as you grow your business. Nick shares how identifying his unique ability helped him stop chasing opportunities that didn't fit, and start building a business around what only he can do.

Whether you're leading a brand, running a business, or simply trying to get clear on your next step, this episode is a reminder that you already have everything you need. You don't have to be everything to everyone. You just have to know what's uniquely yours and be brave enough to start with what you know, your experience, and then build from there.

In this episode of She Talks Business, we're diving into a topic every woman needs to hear, especially if you're a business owner, leader, or someone who is always "pushing through."

My guest is Dr. Anna Garrett, a functional medicine expert and clinical pharmacist who has spent decades helping women in midlife get out of hormone hell and back into their bodies.

This episode is all about burnout, hormones, joy (yes, joy!), and the real reason so many women feel like they're running on empty. And spoiler alert: it's not because you're lazy or unmotivated. It's often because your body's chemistry has shifted, and no one ever taught you how to listen to it, let alone fix it.

This isn't just another conversation about self-care. It's about reclaiming your energy, protecting your health span (not just your lifespan), and remembering who you are beyond the roles you fill.

If you've ever felt dismissed at the doctor's office, wondered if your fatigue was something more, or just want to feel like yourself again, this episode is for you.

• What burnout really looks like for women (and how it's different from just being busy)
• The truth about hormone changes in midlife—and how they impact your mood, motivation, and memory
• Why joy (aka "Vitamin J") is a non-negotiable health strategy
• The difference between health span and lifespan (and why it matters now)
• What cortisol is, what it does, and how to know if it's sabotaging your energy
• Real-life habits that support your hormones, your stress, and your ability to show up fully
• What testing options exist when you know something's off but can't get answers
