This week, I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes peek of my book being out in the world for one year. In this Lead with Love podcast episode, you’ll hear a fun conversation with one of my closest friends Nikki Elledge Brown where I share the lessons I learned and what “enough” really means to me.
Nikki is a mom of three known online for her practical teaching style and refreshingly honest reflections on the realities of parenthood and entrepreneurship. She's a speaker, teacher, author, and mentor who quickly built a name (+ highly profitable business) for herself by helping service-based business owners communicate with clarity and confidence through her first online program, A Course About Copy®.
Nikki launched the Naptime Empires® podcast (soon to be book!) for entrepreneurial moms chasing big dreams and tiny humans. You can find her most recent musings in her audio-note-style On Her Terms podcast or over at nikkielledgebrown.com
“I’m not trying to be big or expand, I just want enough of what I’m already doing. Then I can test my capacity when I reach that ‘enough number’ in this season and see how that feels.”

What the L.O.V.E framework that I talk about in She Builds is all about [37:30]
“We have very ambitious friends in our business bestie friend group, so that goal is [being a] New York Times bestseller, and lots of money and time, years before the book comes out. Then they go full force when the book comes out. I knew that wasn’t the pace I wanted to do.” [Jadah, 8:33]
“It was just so cool to be able to have people gathering in one of my client’s brick-and-mortar studios, talking about anti-hustle and how to build our businesses differently with love.” [Jadah, 9:49]
“For myself, I have my ‘enough number’ and I don’t feel like I have to break myself in order to reach it.” [Jadah, 19:13]
“What I do is I’m assessing my energy and my capacity, and when I say burnout is not an option it’s just that is intention, but it doesn’t mean it’s not going to happen.” [Jadah, 21:09]
“There’s so many uncertain things that come into our life and flow, and if we want to honor the totality and the fullness of our lives, then we have to give ourselves permission to expand the timeline. So, [it’s] not putting a timeline on your dreams, but we can put a timeline on our actions.” [Jadah, 29:33]
“Jadah has really mastered the art of creating an environment and a vibe. It’s one of her highest values and innate talents of creating sensory experiences where people feel safe to share their big stuff.” [Nikki, 31:02]
“I’m not trying to be big or expand, I just want enough of what I’m already doing. Then I can test my capacity when I reach that ‘enough number’ in this season and see how that feels.” [Jadah, 36:36]
