It's true – I'm stepping away from the podcast (for now) after five unbelievable seasons. This episode shares my real-time thoughts of why and a little about what's next.

I adore this space we've created and have a hunch it'll come back in some way, shape or form down the road. Thank you for being a part of it. And until then, cheers to an entire library of More with Nikki Dutton episodes that feature compelling conversations with some of the most incredible people on the planet – plus a lot of life lived together since October 2020.

This episode is a collab with one of my favorite friends, Taylor Carlier, founder of The Already Collective. We walk through some of the miraculous moments in life so far, the highs and lows of ministry and how community carried me through some of my toughest moments – all against the backdrop of the already, not yet aspect of the Kingdom of God.

I had the incredible honor of speaking at a Monday morning devotion at the Chick-fil-A Support center recently and wanted to share that message with you here!

All of us would say life now, or our situation at certain points, has looked very different than we expected – and we look at the life of Joseph in the Bible we are reminded that the most unexpected places sometimes hold the most unexpected purpose.

Over these first six months as a new mom I have felt like we are making one massive decision after another. From feeding to childcare, travel to medical choices – each one has felt so ultimate. Maybe it's motherhood, but I have a hunch this might resonate for a lot of us in our thirties.

Listen in to hear how we've navigated a few of these decisions, all the thoughts and feeling that accompanied them, and catch up on what life looks like today with our six-month old (unbelievable!).

Tracie Braylock joins me today to share how to identify and address the source of our stress, as well as offer practical techniques to integrate relaxation into our daily lives.
