On Her Terms with Nikki Elledge Brown

🌎 defining your role in hard times [OHT 093]

This is a special episode for you (and for me) to revisit anytime big, scary things are happening in the news or in our neighborhoods.

We want to help. We want to respond. But sometimes we feel overwhelmed, guilty, unsure, frozen, or just tapped the F out.

Here’s the thing: every one of us has a natural response style.

The key is naming it, owning it, and practicing it in ways that feel steady, sustainable, and meaningful. #onherterms style.

That’s what this mini audio field guide can help you do.

What’s covered in this episode:

  • How events can be not just devastating, but catalytic

  • Why your response doesn’t have to be “all or nothing” to matter

  • How to ditch disaster-response perfectionism and find your natural response style

  • Two key lenses for response: when you show up + how you show up

  • What to do if you’d like help creating your personal response plan

In short: this is about finding your natural response style — the one that lets you show up without burning out or checking out. An inner scaffolding that helps you feel steady and generous even when life throws curveballs.

I hope it helps you find a way to respond that feels doable, meaningful, and yours.

This is certainly an interesting time to be alive with internet access, and I appreciate you doing your part from your corner of the world.

Sending lots of love and aloha from here. Talk soon. 💞
