You’re Exhausted.
✅ You wake. up tired.
✅ You hit the ground running.
✅ You have no time to pause, to breath; No moment for yourself.
✅ You push through.
✅ You handle everything.
I used to believe that exhaustion was just part of the job.
That running on caffeine was normal.
That being a “strong Black woman” meant pushing through no matter how drained I felt.
That this is what success was supposed to look like.
Until one day, after a 20-hour shift, I sat in my car and just broke.
I screamed. I cried. I asked out loud,
“Why is this happening to me?”
I had poured everything into becoming a doctor — the sacrifices, the years, the impossible standards. But no matter how much I achieved, I was drowning in burnout.
The truth?
I thought that I was the problem.
But I wasn’t the problem.
The culture was. The expectations were. The lie that you have to hustle yourself into the ground to be worthy — that was the problem.
And in that breaking moment, I decided:My job will not be the death of me.
That moment cracked me open — and it was the beginning of something new. A version of me that could still be brilliant, compassionate, ambitious… but rested. Alive. Free.

The Revive Retreat was born from that journey: it’s what I needed when I was silently
screaming, “I’m done.”
And the results speak for themselves:
SIGN ME UP! I'M IN!
You’ve done enough surviving. Now it’s time to exhale, reclaim your energy, and come home to yourself.
The Revive Retreat is a 3-day, 2-night sanctuary created specifically for high-achieving Black women physicians who are tired of carrying it all — and are finally ready to lay it down.
This isn’t a quick fix or a girls trip.
This is your invitation to rest deeply and rise revived.
To choose rest not as a reward, but as your right.
It’s a full-body revival. A deep exhale.
At The Revive Retreat, you’ll finally have space to
✨ Rest Deeply
This isn’t sleep-as-an-afterthought — this is curated rest.
✨ Rise Revived
Rediscover what matters most and set boundaries that honor your capacity.
✨ Be held in real community
Surrounded by other women who get it. No pretending. No pressure. Just presence.
A space where you don’t have to explain your exhaustion.
Where no one expects you to smile through the stress.
Where rest isn’t earned — it’s assumed.
This is your invitation to rest deeply and rise revived.
To reclaim your peace.
To choose rest not as a reward, but as your right.
Your investment is $3,500 but
Waiting means risking deeper burnout, more exhaustion, and longer recovery.
The longer you put yourself last, the higher the cost to your health, happiness, and future.
Choosing to invest in yourself now is an act of radical self-love and wisdom. This retreat is not just a luxury — it’s the foundation for sustainable success and a joyful, fulfilling life.
We offer secure, flexible payment options to make this easier for you. You can pay in full or choose a simple payment plan
YYou’ve spent years working for your title.
Now it's your turn to receive the care you so freely give.
And you are absolutely worth this investment.
If nothing changes… nothing changes.
You’ll keep waking up already tired.
You’ll keep showing up for everyone but yourself.
You’ll keep performing “fine” but wondering how much longer you can go on like this.
And one day, the body will say no more—and you won’t get to choose the terms of your rest.
Because this exhaustion doesn’t fade. It festers.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
This retreat is a moment to pause before life makes you.
A chance to stop running on fumes and start recharging.
Choose rest now—as a right, not a reward.
You could spend twice as much on a luxury retreat that looks good on Instagram—but wasn’t created with you in mind.
You could book another vacation where you sip cocktails, snap a few pics, and come home just as tired (if not more) than when you left.
You could invest in another conference… and still feel like no one truly gets what it’s like to carry the weight you carry.
Or you could say yes to a space that sees you.
A retreat that was intentionally crafted by a Black woman physician—for Black women physicians.
✨ One that honors your exhaustion.
✨ Holds space for your healing.
✨ And equips you with real tools, real rest, and a real community who gets it.
This isn’t a quick escape. It’s a soft landing.
A revival. An exhale.
A decision to invest in something that actually pours back into you.
You deserve more than self-care.
You deserve restoration.
Space is intentionally limited.
This isn’t a conference.
It’s not networking over boxed lunches.
It’s a sacred, restorative sanctuary—intimate, healing, and real.
Seats are very limited, and they will go.
Your comfort guarantee:
We don’t offer refunds—because we know the value of this experience.
But what we do guarantee is this:
💠 You will be seen.
💠 You will be honored.
💠 You will be supported—before, during, and after your time with us.
This isn’t just time away.
It’s your return to self.
And we’ll walk beside you every step of the way.
RESERVE YOUR SPOT NOW
Q: I want to come, but I’m so busy. What if I can’t afford the time off?
A: Sis, I see you. You’re the go-to. The strong one. The one who never drops the ball. But here’s the truth: you deserve to be your own priority sometimes. This retreat is just 2 nights and 3 days—but what you’ll gain can transform how you show up in every area of your life. The real question isn’t can you afford the time off? It’s—can you afford to keep pouring from an empty cup?
Q: Is this just another fancy vacation where I come back feeling just as tired?
A: Not at all. This isn’t about photo ops or pretending to rest. This is a curated sanctuary for women physicians of color—with real space to exhale, tools that support your nervous system, and connection that nurtures your spirit. This isn’t about escape—it’s about coming home to yourself.
Q: What if I don’t know anyone? Will I feel awkward?
A: Not even for a second. This space is intentionally designed for women like you who are exhausted from being “the only one” or “the strong one.” You’ll be welcomed into a sacred circle of women who get it—who see you, respect you, and understand what it’s like to carry so much. You’ll leave with community, not just contacts.
Q: I want to come, but I’m worried about the cost.
A: I hear you. It’s an investment—but one that pours back into you tenfold. And we’re making it easier with a quick action discount of $250 and flexible payment plans. You’ve spent years investing in your career. This is your chance to invest in yourself—with ongoing support and community to sustain you beyond these 3 days.
Q: What exactly is included?
A: Great question. Your $3,500 investment includes:
2 nights + 3 days of curated sanctuary
Nourishing meals, healing workshops, restorative movement
Access to our private post-retreat community
Ongoing group coaching to help you maintain the shift
A space intentionally created for women physicians of color
And peace. The kind you forgot was possible.
Q: What’s the guarantee?
A: While we don’t offer a traditional money-back guarantee, here’s what I can promise you: If you show up openhearted, willing to receive, and ready to rest—you will leave with something priceless. This is a space that honors your identity, your journey, and your deep need to reconnect. You won’t leave the same.
Q: How many women will be attending?
A: We’re keeping this space intimate and intentional—just the way healing should be. Spots are limited so every woman feels seen, heard, and supported. You won’t be a face in the crowd. You’ll be part of something sacred.
Q: What are we actually going to be doing? I don’t want to be stuck in workshops the whole time.
A: Sis, trust me—this is not a conference. Yes, there will be guided workshops with practical tools, healing frameworks, and space for reflection. But this is a retreat, not a classroom. You’ll have plenty of time to exhale: spa visits, journaling under the sun, slow mornings with no beeping pagers, and moments of joy and stillness with women who get you. This is about wholeness—not hustle.
Q: Will CME be included? Can I use my educational funds or write this off on my taxes?
A: Yes ma’am! 🙌🏾 CME will be provided, so you can absolutely use your professional development funds. And yes, you can speak to your accountant about writing this off as a business-related expense. You’re not just taking a break—you’re expanding your capacity, your wellness, and your longevity in medicine. That’s a professional investment if I’ve ever seen one.
Q: How many women will be attending?
A: We’re keeping it small and sacred—just 8 to 12 women. That’s intentional. We want every woman to feel deeply seen, deeply safe, and deeply supported. This isn’t a retreat where you fade into the background. It’s a shared circle of truth, connection, and restoration.
This is deeper than rest. This is reclamation.
It breaks my heart that so many women physicians of color feel like exhaustion is just part of the job. Like we have to prove we’re strong enough to handle it all, even when it’s breaking us.
It breaks my heart that we've been taught to measure our worth by how productive we are, how much we give, and how little we need.
And it really breaks my heart that we carry guilt and shame just for wanting to rest. Just for daring to say: “I deserve more than survival.”
I created this retreat because I needed it. When I was at my lowest—crying in my car, fantasizing about getting into an accident just so I could finally rest—I realized no one was coming to save me. They were going to keep taking as long as I kept giving.
I went looking for support, hoping for an answer. But what I found instead was the truth: there is no one-size-fits-all solution. There is only your agency—your ability to choose something different.
This retreat is that choice. It's a sanctuary where you return to your power, your voice, your truth.
Because you are not a cog in a machine. You are not here to sacrifice yourself for a broken system.
You are here to build a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.
You are here to lead a legacy not of burnout and burden—but of joy, wholeness, and freedom.
And you don’t have to figure it out alone.
I'M COMING!!
I’m Dr. Nikia Smith — Physician. Coach. Community Builder.
A burnout survivor who’s been exactly where you are— pushing through exhaustion, silencing her own needs, and convincing herself that suffering was just part of the job. After a decade of relentless hustle in medicine, I hit my breaking point not once, but twice. Those moments of exhaustion and burnout showed me how unsustainable the hustle culture can be. I’ve since rebuilt her life from the inside out sparked by the fierce mission to help high-achieving women of color redefine success, reclaim rest, and confidently set boundaries without guilt or shame.
With a deep understanding of the physical, emotional, and mental toll burnout takes, I’ve combined my medical training with holistic wellness coaching to create transformational experiences. I’ve guided numerous women through the dark valleys of exhaustion to sustainable success — and hosted five powerful retreats that have been life-changing for attendees.
My approach is rooted in lived experience and professional expertise. I know firsthand how it feels to be trapped in the grind and how liberating it is to find a new way forward. When you work with me, you’re not just getting a coach or a doctor — you’re getting someone who’s walked the path, learned the hard lessons, and is passionately dedicated to helping you heal and thrive.
