We recently had the chance to connect with Nisha B and have shared our conversation below.
Nisha, a huge thanks to you for investing the time to share your wisdom with those who are seeking it. We think it’s so important for us to share stories with our neighbors, friends and community because knowledge multiples when we share with each other. Let’s jump in: What is something outside of work that is bringing you joy lately?
Pilates and Pickleball is my new jam! As a single mom who works 6 days a week, I have to find time for things that keep me happy. It’s important for women to find things they love outside of work and household duties. Both hobbies are expensive, so I pop on a Pilates Youtube video and do it in my living room and I play pickleball at my local Rec Center! I invested in my own equipment finally so that I can play. I hustle hard 6 days a week, so looking forward to pickleball instead of a nap, it just keeps me productive, youthful and fun!
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Many know me as a hard worker and a go getter, but I’m so much more than that. I love hard, I love creating memories and hanging out with my friends. I love showing my son new experiences. I am the author of the book Be Gentle with Yourself where I discuss how to balance hard work, family and self love. My work as a loan originator allows me to follow my dreams in helping other women recognizing their worth so they can follow their dreams as well. I’ve recently been hosting workshops for women to experience Embodiment, Empowerment and Evolution.
Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. Who saw you clearly before you could see yourself?
My Life + Author Coach: Ms. Precious Erica McGee. Ladies, we have to step outside the comfort zone! When it’s time to level up, you feel it in your soul. I invested in a Life and Author Coach to assist me in publishing my book. I had no big dreams of marketing my book or making it more than what it was. Not only did she assist me in publishing one book, but highly encouraged me to publish 3 books! Not only did I publish three books, but now I host women empowerment workshops and later launched a coaching program. She saw the skills and the leadership in me before I saw it in myself. I wanted to publish a book to tell my story, now I’m a whole business woman.
When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
When I kept proving to myself how easy it is to manifest. Through the loneliness of being a single mom, through the embarrassment of not having a relationship with my father, the conflicting feelings of not having the proper stats to be successful. Time after time, I wanted something, I went after it and it came to me, I realized you can have anything you want no matter the circumstances. I stopped judging myself and feeling sorry for myself, sat down and came up with a plan to get everything I want. Through that- I wrote my book to encourage other women to do the same.
Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. Whom do you admire for their character, not their power?
Ryan Serhant. I’m not watching reality television when he is on screen. I’m watching a father, a family man and a hustler go after his goals like his life depends on it. I love how he shows the grit and grind and not just the glam. Although he is at the top, he still remembers what the bottom felt like. He apologizes for his mistakes and he doesn’t treat the people around him like crap. He cares, he sympathizes and he is a true leader. I aspire to be like him in many ways.
Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. What light inside you have you been dimming?
I love this question. Perfect way to start 2026 for local readers tired of hiding who you are. The light I was dimming in 2025 and before was more than just dimming the light. I cared so much about making sure others were comfortable around me. I’m naturally a happy and excited person, I would tell myself to calm down before I get out the car to meet with others. All because I wanted their “friendship”, I would bring down my energy to not seem “over the top”.
In 2026, we not doing that! Being emotionally connected with myself has allowed me not to take other peoples opinions or actions towards me nearly as serious. At the end of the day, I love myself. I love my energy. I know who I am, what my intentions are. I don’t seek approval, I don’t need attention. I allow myself to be fully me, happy and joyous. People constantly call me beautiful. Little do they know, beauty is a vibe.
