Are you someone who thinks out loud and needs someone to bounce ideas with? If you want a behind the scenes peek on how I do that with my own business BFF, where we cover book writing, mindset, fear, and friendship, then this episode is for you. You’ll also learn what it means to live life and do business on your terms.

In this episode of the Lead with Love podcast, you’ll get to hear a fun conversation with one of my closest friends Nikki Elledge Brown. 

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's been featured on NBC News, military.com, and a reality TV episode on Discovery Channel that led to a surprise cameo on Orange is the New Black. She's also known as the online park ranger at Pearl Harbor, welcoming millions of visitors to the USS Arizona Memorial since 2010.

Nikki launched the Naptime Empires® podcast (soon to be book!) to help family-focused entrepreneurs feel less alone in the journey. Her mission is to help high-achieving women avoid burnout so they can lead for the long haul and ENJOY the success.
