Description

In this episode of Life Her Podcast, I’m joined by Ericka Nicole, forensic-science expert turned beauty founder and podcast host. Ericka is the Founder & CEO of SILKENN, a science-backed skincare brand built to defend skin against pollution, inflammation and environmental stressors drawn from her own battle with acne and eczema in NYC.

We dive deep into:

  • Her bold pivot from a forensics and biology background into entrepreneurship, and how she leveraged that science to create a skincare line.

  • The business strategies she used behind the scenes with 7- and 8-figure CPG & private equity executives that informed her brand-building journey.

  • How high-achieving women can make strategic transitions without burning out especially those balancing ambition with well­being.

  • Self-care systems, energy-management techniques and intentional moves to ditch hustle culture while still slaying in business and life.

If you’re a professional woman, founder, or creator who’s ready to show up for yourself in deeper and more intentional ways this episode is for you.
