About this conversation

Around the release of Becoming Super Woman, Nicole joined fashion designer Rebecca Minkoff’s podcast Superwomen, a show about the habits and hurdles of high-achieving women, to talk about the book’s central admission: the "superwoman" ideal nearly broke her.

Becoming Super Woman is Nicole’s most personal book, a 12-step plan for going from burnout to balance that opens with her own breakdown and hospitalization at the peak of her on-camera career. This conversation sits at the intersection of the show’s theme and the book’s: ambition is not the problem, pretending you’re invincible is.

Key takeaways

  • Trying to be "superwoman" is a fast track to burnout, aim to be a super woman, cape not included.
  • Self-care is a productivity strategy, not a reward you earn after the work is done.
  • Mental health belongs in your definition of success, no title compensates for running on empty.
