You've dimmed your voice so someone else could feel bigger. You've carried everyone else's needs on your back while your own dream sat quiet in the corner. Not anymore. Welcome to the ICONIK CEO® Podcast for women CEOs. This show was created for the woman who's done borrowing space. Done building someone else's empire with her own two hands. You're here to build your empire. Not a hobby (no hobbist allowed). Not a side project. An empire that outlives you and cracks the door open for the next woman standing where you used to stand. Because when one woman rises, she doesn't rise alone. She pulls the whole room up with her. This is ICONIK CEO®. Stop shrinking. Start scaling.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-15T12:21:38.125176+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/iconik-ceo-6320627"},"episode":{"title":"85: No More Layers - Reclaim Your Power Beyond Burnout w/ Martine Cohen","slug":"85-no-more-layers-reclaim-your-power-beyond-burnout-w-martine-cohen","published_at":"2025-11-11T04:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/iconik-ceo-6320627/85-no-more-layers-reclaim-your-power-beyond-burnout-w-martine-cohen","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/iconik-ceo-6320627","url":"https://nikishaking.com/blog/no-more-layers-reclaiming-your-power-beyond-burnout-women-entrepreneurs","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/abd7f9c0-e473-41e7-99b5-5a2553a65eff.mp3","summary":"How often do you find yourself buried beneath expectations, clients pulling at your time, success pulling at your energy, and the world pulling at your identity? In this powerful episode of  The ICONIK CEO™ Podcast , I sit down with Martine Cohen , a transformative coach and author whose journey from corporate attorney to empowerment mentor reveals what’s possible when you choose authenticity over exhaustion.
