The Power of Community & Sisterhood
We are thrilled to kick off a new season of Ready to Exhale with the incredible Dr. Colette Pierce Burnette!

With a background in engineering and technology, she has held executive roles in higher education, corporate America, and nonprofit leadership—including serving as President & CEO of Newfields in Indianapolis. A dedicated servant leader, she has championed racial equity, education, and community empowerment through partnerships with organizations like Apple and the Urban League.
In this episode, we dive into Dr. B’s inspiring career journey, how she navigates change, and the ways these transitions have shaped her mental health and well-being. This conversation is full of wisdom, resilience, and insight—we hope you enjoy it!
