On Her Terms® is an audio thought gallery for women with big brains and full plates. Useful thoughts for real life.
I’m your host, Nikki Elledge Brown. Mom of three, professional word nerd, and lifelong over-processor with a soft spot for refreshing honesty and emotionally supportive spreadsheets.
Around here, you’ll find practical field notes, reframes, and thoughts-in-progress on motherhood, ambition, money, creativity, energy, perimenopossibilities, and creating a life with less friction and more satisfaction.
Think self-trust over self-improvement.
We call that “I’ll have what I’m having” energy.
🥤 how to suck the fun out of your creative projects [OHT 104]
For when you keep “meaning” to do the thing you said you wanted to do… and then continue not doing it. 🙃
NOTES FROM THE FIELD.
We talk overcorrecting, overcomplicating, mistaking pressure for support, and figuring out what actually makes a creative practice easier to return to. (Hint: it’s very #onherterms.)

🔍 life leaves clues: how success reveals itself [OHT 103]
Reflecting on why the phrase “success leaves clues” has always felt incomplete to me.
And how looking at **your own life** tells a much truer story.
Join me to noodle on:
Self-defined, context-dependent definitions of success (of course)
Presence, inhabitation (fave word of late), and feeling alive as core measures of success
Using memory and imagination as tools for grounding in the present
Time as feedback, not pressure
How past experience and future desire can inform this moment (without getting stuck in either)
A philosophical yet practical take on paying attention to the clues your life's leaving AND letting that guide how you show up today.

💫 defining spirituality on her terms [OHT 102]
In case you're allergic to religion and/or language that leans woo:
When I say "spirit" - I mean that non-physical life force that animates us.
The undeniable breath and energy that leaves the physical building on our last day in this form.
Spirituality, then, is defined as what brings us to life. What gives us the truest most powerful energy.
In other words: our highest values. Our telos. THE thing that matters most to you.
(That we uncover and refine every quarter in our What Matters Workshops.)
We define spirituality in this way because it's grounded, personal, and usable.
More in the episode, and those to come. ✨
