Today, I’m joined by award-winning entrepreneur Nickie Gott OBE, who shares her remarkable story of resilience, reinvention, and hope.Nickie is a highly respected businesswoman and advocate for women in enterprise, recognised with an OBE in 2016 for her services to female entrepreneurship in the North East. In 2007, just weeks after being named North East Woman Entrepreneur of the Year, her life changed overnight when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.In this heartfelt episode, Nickie reflects on the shock of her diagnosis, the reality of juggling treatment while running a thriving business, and the challenges she faced in the years that followed, including serious illness, loss, and rebuilding her life from scratch.She speaks openly about body image after her mastectomy, learning to accept help, and finding purpose again through mentoring and supporting others.Now working as a business consultant and mentor, Nickie continues to champion women in business with empathy and passion.Connect with Nickie:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickie-g-4bb2031/Connect with Nicola:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicola-wood-hair-loss-specialist/The Wonderful Wig Company: https://wonderfulwigs.co.uk/Recommended organisations:Cancer Research UK Business Beats Cancer NE: https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/get-involved/volunteer/help-us-raise-money/business-beats-cancer/business-beats-cancer-north-east
