On Her Terms with Nikki Elledge Brown

🗞️ slow down or double down? navigating business as UNUSUAL in 2025 [OHT 092]

What does it look like to show up for your day-to-day work when it sometimes feels like we're livestreaming Earth: The Final Season?

What are we doing here, fam? 🙃

This fresh episode is part palette cleanse, part context-setting.

Before we round out our first 100 On Her Terms® episodes, I want to acknowledge the bigness of what we're witnessing and co-creating on the world stage right now (and for the foreseeable future).

The weather is extreme -- literally, socially, financially -- and it’s up to us as humanity’s current class of grownups (!) to learn to navigate business as UNUSUAL (which is clearly now just... the usual) with resilience and curiosity.

Whether you’re currently showing up out of duty, desire, or a blend of both, it makes sense if you’re feeling some dissonance or hesitation.

This episode isn’t about opting out.

It’s about staying in the game without losing your rhythm, your values, or yourself.

How do we hold awareness of the “big stuff” without minimizing the “little stuff” that strengthens our ability to carry it? ❤️

What are the capacity-building practices and tools that actually WORK - for us, for our kids, for our communities - and how can we make them second-nature? 👀

Join me to consider:

  • 👓 The bifocal lens that helps me hold the both/and

  • 🗓️ Why your calendar is actually your base camp, not a distraction

  • 🎯 The myth of waiting for the “right" time to share your work

  • ♻️ What I’m seeing (and sensing) from the women I’m here to support

  • ⚡️ A reminder that your work still matters especially now

(If you like eavesdropping on real-time meaning-making, you’ll like this one.)

Hopeful these messy musings can spark real conversation on staying grounded, creative, and response-able in uncertain times.

Hi 👋 I'm Nikki (Elledge Brown).

Writer, podcaster, and creative advisor for brilliant women who love their work, their people, and their alone time.

As a professional overthinker who believes strongly in INTEGRITY > BALANCE, it's my nerdy pleasure to create and share tools, questions, and frameworks that make it easier to feel good about how we’re showing up — on paper and in practice.

Around here, living like a whole human is the way.

That's what we call On Her Terms® living.

THERE'S ALWAYS MORE TO EXPLORE... 🪄
