Creative advisor for brilliant women who love their work, their people, and their alone time.

Hi. 👋 I'm Nikki.

Creative advisor, professional overthinker, and champion of brilliant women who'd love to feel a little better about how they’re showing up for themselves, their work, and/or their people.

Around here, we call that:

"I'LL HAVE WHAT I'M HAVING" ENERGY.

Clarity you can feel, on paper and in practice.


I started my business over a decade ago, helping service-based entrepreneurs say what they really wanted to say in their about pages, keynotes, and bestsellers. [Here's the backstory.]

But it was never just about putting words on the page.

It was about untangling ideas to feel more fully expressed.

First in language, now in LIFE.

We've just expanded the canvas.✏️

In this corner of the internet, we love our work, our people, and our bottomless podcast queues.

WE DESIGN FOR INTEGRATION > BALANCE.

Where the calendar, carpool, and bank account are at least on speaking terms. 🙃

When things feel wobbly, we anchor back in to what matters most.

(Usually a combo of self, family, and biz, in whatever order a given day calls for.)

HERE'S HOW THAT OFTEN PLAYS OUT:


👑 SELF.

Page-turners and playlists, fresh air, morning scrolls strolls. Little rituals that recharge. Solo time isn't selfish or indulgent. It's essential.

💞 FAM.

Wind beneath our wings, Cheerios in the couch cushions. The humans, creatures, and cozy chaos we wouldn’t trade for anything. Most days.

💡 BIZ.

Big ideas and invoices, client calls and Slack pings. An outlet for creativity, connection, and contribution. A spark that keeps the lights on, literally and/or figuratively.

We feel most like ourselves on the days when all three get a bit of loving attention.


(And feeling like ourselves = integrity = wholeness, the most powerful state we've got. ⚡️)

THIS IS ON HER TERMS® LIVING.

Grounded in my IDEA Filter™ (Identity, Desires, Energy, Actions), it’s a shortcut back to ourselves when we just feel off.

Through private work, monthly workshops, and a yearlong seasonal rhythm of creative studios, it’s the practice at the center of the On Her Terms® Mutual Inspiration Society.

My clients are seasoned pros, geeky geniuses, and thought-leader types, many also moms, partners, and caregivers.

WORK'S DIALED IN.
THE LIFEY THINGS COULD USE A ZHUZH.

The upgrade is simple: focused attention on the parts of life that often get overlooked.

Because it’s easy to underestimate how much hyper-focusing on work drains our energy.

And profit + exhaustion still adds up to a net loss. 🥀

Enter The On Her Terms® Universe:

A living library of insights, tools, and resources to help you stop overthinking and start making space for the parts of life that could use a little more attention without pressure, performance, or pretense.

I've done the overthinking so you don't have to.

...and I made us some cute spreadsheets too. 🤓

We know too well that balance is imaginary, and burnout is expensive.

ENERGY ISN'T A LUXURY. IT'S A NECESSITY.

Don't make me get the oxygen mask metaphor.

And please hear me on this one:

If growing your biz means sidelining your fam and relationships, you won’t do it.

If taking better care of yourself means losing hard-earned momentum at work, you won’t do it. 

The problem is when we forget how the pieces actually work together.

Biz fuels fam.


Fam fuels biz.

Self-care fuels them both.

LIVING LIKE A WHOLE HUMAN IS THE WAY.

What if running your biz felt like an energizing self-care practice?


What if taking care of your body and your people felt like the ultimate profitable priority?

I'd love to help you see how that's actually the case.

YOU'RE NOT A BOT OR A BENTO BOX.

You're a whole human, and it makes sense to be supported as such.

Around here, we treat life like the creative project it is, and we have a good time doing it.
