Inspired by a frontyard volleyball lesson with my niece and kiddos.

Having the courage to speak up and call the ball - to publicly claim that you trust yourself enough to handle whatever comes next - can be a literal game-changer.

Consider that those who speak up (loudest, first, etc) are often perceived as leaders... even if they don't know what they're talking about ;)

Use your influence for (subjectively defined) good and give yourself a chance to get in the game.

How meta is it that I'm recording this podcast, uploading, and emailing about it... all while in virtual coworking sessions?

I'm in love with virtual coworking, and if somehow you haven't tried it yet, I think you may be too.

I hosted my first paid coworking experience back in 2017, and it's been an element of every group offering I've created since.

Today I'm finally giving (very affordable coworking platform) Focusmate a try, and 1.5 sessions in, I'm obsessed.

Tune in for science-backed benefits of bubble-wrapping time and space to put your 🍑 in 🪑 and show up for what matters most to you today, brought to us courtesy of focusmate.com/science.

BONUS: If you're listening to this in April 2023 and you'd like to give it a go, register for my priceless *pom queen* coworking series here: nikkielledgebrown.com/pom

We'll be live every Thursday at 11am Central. Would love to see your face and cheer you on in the chat box!

This has been a record-setting school year for cooties of all varieties in our home.

Back-to-back back-to-school colds, a deer bite, a tiny toddler fracture (!), our first bout of RSV leading to our first hospitalization, our first covid, strep, and now FLU.

ONE - how thankful I am for medical pros! From front desk appointment schedulers to docs, nurses, pharmacists, and paramedics. I love natural support options *and* feel so thankful for traditional medical care as needed.

TWO - how thankful I am that years ago we chose to anchor back into our hometown so my sisters and parents can be a short drive away for porch drops and carpool help. That privilege is not lost on me.

In this message I share a simple motto that's helping me keep it moving, even and especially when I feel overwhelmed by all the things that need to happen to keep my fave humans alive and thriving as their systems are mid-upgrade.

Whether you're in a deep immune-building season or not, I hope it serves you today!

What do I mean by lo-fi?

I googled it a month or so ago to confirm my suspicions that it stood for "low fidelity," then the actual definitions ended up sparking a whole new line of thinking. Maybe even a movement.

You tell me.

Wikipedia says, "Lo-fi is a music or production quality in which elements usually regarded as imperfections in the context of a recording or performance are present, sometimes as a deliberate choice."

Domestika.org says: A popular subgenre of electronic music, lo-fi music's characteristic features include "imperfections" like incorrect notes, background noise, and low-quality audio—all of which used to be looked down on by industry players."

https://www.domestika.org/en/blog/10296-what-is-lo-fi-music-and-why-is-it-perfect-for-relaxing

Can you sense where I'm heading with this??

I've shared in many previous messages that my audio quality *and content* in this podcast is very intentional. I recorded in Voxer, direct to my phone, without a special mic or headset. I download to my desktop and upload without editiing (unless I'm merging two files because I was interrupted beyond repair ;)). One-take wonders or bust. The quality of sound and content here is by intentional design, not default.

I had the chance to share this concept I'm calling "lo-fi podcasting" in front of a live (Ciel Creative Space) audience in Berkeley recently, and the resonance was undeniable.

I lost count of the number of women (including experienced podcasters!) who came up to me throughout the weekend sharing the lightbulbs that had gone off when they heard me describe my thought process around this.

For one reason or another, they've been holding back, staying quiet, keeping their most valuable conversations to small private threads and groups because they felt like podcasting had to look (sound) a certain way.

Yet here we are in this On Her Terms feed proving that it doesn't.

If you've got something to say and way too many excuses for not saying it in podcast form... tune in for this message and see what it shakes loose.

I'm super-inspired by the possibilities of how I can support you in your own lo-fi creations, so if you'd love inspo and info around the logistics and the mindset pieces, reach out via the comment box or the application below.

Something special is stirring around this concept and conversation. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Fresh reflections that may shake something loose for you too.

Just listened to a call recording from early 2016 and it sparked some big feels over here.

Context: My husband was deployed, and I was in the thick of the fourth trimester, my second full month as a mom of two. My oldest was just four at the time (he's 11 now!), needing some emo support I didn't have the capacity to give.

Press play for my reflections from seven years (and one baby girl) later...
