☠️ re: the fear of dying with your music still in you [OHT 033]
Parking lot ponderings on the fear of dying with metaphorical music still in us*. (*in the words of late spiritual teacher Wayne Dyer)
Is life really that pass or fail? no participation trophy? The spoiler alert / available reframe: we're live.
The music is already playing. No need for curated perfection or quiet on the set. We have been. recording.
What's your life's "music" saying? What's the beat, the bop, the jam?
What do you love about the tracks you've laid down so far? If you'd like to change the tune for a bit, to what? And why?
I don't know much about music besides that I love that it exists and marvel that people keep creating NEW songs, sounds, and melodies... (!?) but I do genuinely believe we're all here resonating in our own ways, at our own paces, because we have unique parts to play in the orchestra pit of humanity.
If you've been judging your tune by an invisible (or perhaps very visible) standard that doesn't actually feel true to YOU and what you currently value, consider this an opportunity to shift that.
Would love to hear your thoughts.

Hi! 👋 I'm Nikki.
...Elledge Brown.
Creator of the On Her Terms® universe.
Pro word nerd and mom of three.
I'm a creative advisor, coach, and strategist for entrepreneurial women who love their work, their families, and their alone time.
I'm also a military spouse and former park ranger and college professor with a penchant for almost excessive verbal processing. (You've prob picked up on that by now.)
After over a decade in business and momming, moving from my fave Hawaiian island to my fave Texas town, reckoning with and recovering from my own brand of #onherterms burnout, I've been deep in introspection + experimentation over here:
Got it. Not a dress rehearsal. What do I really want my life to look like? What do I want it to feel like? In each area of life, what are my terms for this season? When I get really honest and ditch the should dos and the have tos…what's left? What’s true? NOW WHAT?
This podcast is a space to track that journey, to share my field notes, to anchor in the stories and lessons my clients and I are learning along the way.
Join me here to refresh your OWN definitions of what matters most to you. Motherhood, ambition, fulfillment, creativity, relationships, inspiration, REST, success, community, and about a squillion other words and concepts that deserve thoughtful consideration.
Can't wait to hear your take.
