Naptime Empires with Nikki Elledge Brown: Refreshingly Honest Conversations for Entrepreneurial Moms episodes
- Nicole Walters on Family-First Entrepreneurship (+ What it’s REALLY Like to Go Viral) [NE 032]
I recently e-met the brilliant + hilarious income strategist Nicole Walters after my buddy Ari shared one of her viral videos (yes she’s had more than one!). I fell down the rabbit hole watching her videos for like 30 minutes, promptly sending her an audio note to profess my love and invite her to share her story + genius with us here.
Lucky for us - she said YES - and I can’t think of a better guest to kick us off for our second season of #naptimeempires conversations.
In this episode, Nicole shares key (corporate) mindset shifts for everyday entrepreneurs, what being a “family-first” entrepreneur looks like for her (she + her husband adopted their three daughters a few years back), what it’s REALLY like to go viral (+ how she handled the critics) the power of showing up CONSISTENTLY (+ why livestream is her channel o’ choice), how hiring a house manager has changed the game for her fam, and a whole lot more.
Grab your earbuds and ENJOY. (And be sure to check out the show notes for links to aforementioned viral videos. Because potassium’s important.)

56 min - What's the rush? (A case for slowing the eff down) [NE 031]
Your business may or may not be on the (subjectively defined) fast track right now, but one thing's for sure: Every day your kiddos are as little as they'll ever be.
In this episode I examine the shortcomings of the hurry + worry method (of which I am VERY familiar).
I propose a NEW way of doing #naptimeempires life and business: one where we give ourselves permission to chill out a bit, embrace the season we're in, and TRUST that as we take the next right step, and the next, and the next, we're always RIGHT where we need to be. Take a deep breath and join me.

26 min - Let's talk: The Season TWO Premiere [NE 030]
Welcome to Season TWO! In this episode I paint a(n audio) picture of what you can expect for this next season of #naptimeempires: one show per week (alternating solo + convos), SUPER conversational as always, and more stories, ideas, and insights from entrepreneurial mamas making it WORK.
I also share a bit about my new "studio" - the #backtoschoolproblems we're currently workin' with, and a prime example of what it looks like to take imperfect action in the spirit of momentum.
Enjoy!

18 min - What's next? The Season One Finale [NE 029]
That's a wrap for season ONE of the Naptime Empires™ podcast! It's been a little while since NE 028 was published, so in this "on location" ep I recap where we've been, where we are, and where we're headed NEXT in the world of #naptimeempires.
NOTE: I recorded this outside by a windy beach, which is basically the OPPOSITE of my "home studio" (aka my closet) where I recorded the rest of season one. Let's take this as me practicing what I preach when I say "it doesn't need to be perfect; it just needs to be shared." ;)
Tune in for highlights and ahas on our move from Hawaii to Texas and get the scoop on what's in store for season TWO coming this fall.

13 min - Racheal Cook on Allowing Yourself to be Supported [NE 028]
This episode is FULL. of. gems. from serial entrepreneur and mom of three, Racheal Cook.
She shares the scoop on how she made the move from face-to-face work to an online model - then how she shifted from 1:1 work to more leveraged packages and offerings.
She ALSO shares how she loosened her grip and shifted from super-controlling, gotta-be-supermom mode to receiving-support, happy-to-delegate mode. I love every bit of this conversation and know you will too.
Racheal’s story is a perfect example of how possible it is to build a #naptimeempires life that works for YOU.

51 min - How to Have FUN with a Deadline [NE 027]
Some days you just gotta get stuff DONE. Real deadlines. Hard stops. Train is leaving the station (or in my case, the plane is leaving the airport).
In this ep I share a few fun tricks I tried today to break an otherwise daunting pre-travel to-do list into energizing, fun chunks o' productivity.
I share a video diary of the process in the FB group, so definitely check it out for the full effect ;)

49 min - Breaking through Resistance [NE 025]
I meeeean...it happens. Resistance. Procrastination. The times when you feel so stuck that it SEEMS the only option is to raid the pantry / watch one more ep of your fave Netflix show / alphabetize the spice rack.
In this ep I share my most recent encounter with resistance AND what helped me snap out of it this week.

22 min - Alexia Vernon on Overcoming Post-Partum Depression [NE 024]
We talk about PLENTY of valuable #naptimeempires lessons in this episode (like managing expectations, preparing your biz for baby, and leveraging your income), but what I’m most grateful to Lex for sharing is her experience with post-partum depression.
In this (adults only) conversation, she shares what it was like for her, the support she needed to climb out of it, and how it shaped her ability to receive support.
