Off the Grid: Sally breaks down Ego Trip

There are spoilers ahead. You might want to solve today’s puzzle before reading further! Ego Trip
Constructors: Erik Agard & Jasmeet Arora

EGO TRIP: Each of the theme answers contains the word EGO, which is traveling (i.e. taking a TRIP) from the left side of the puzzle to the right side in the grid: NEGOTIATION, HERE WE GO AGAIN, and SO HELP ME GOD.
I am a fan of the work of both of the constructors of today’s puzzle, and was delighted to see their names together as collaborators. This puzzle is taking us on a nice little EGO TRIP as the EGO makes its way from left to right and top to bottom in the grid. Thank you, Erik and Jasmeet, for this enjoyable puzzle.
