More with Nikki Dutton

Today I have my best friend, Lindsey Aldridge, on the podcast to talk about what it's like to occupy a middle place in life where you are waiting for what you hope for. After briefly reminiscing on our high school memories together, we share what our "middles" are, how we're really doing, and a few examples of what has been the most helpful and hope-full in this space. clement-ar...

Alley Bell and Amanda Reed have created a space of encouragement for women to share their stories transparently and find community. It started as a friendship, grew into a monthly podcast, conferences, and now their recently released devotional, Living Out Loud's 30 Days of Encouragement with Alley & Amanda. In this conversation we talk through the origin story of it all and highlight what...

Unfortunately, I Love You is a collaborative collection of words for anyone who's ever been in love alone with Sarah Jane Souther at the lead – and I am obsessed. To say Sarah Jane has a way with words majorly understates how she (and her writing collective-mates) put language to what it's like to be in love with someone (or something) that doesn't love you back. "Old flames and e...

Durenda Wilson is an author, speaker, fellow podcast host – and most importantly – wife of 34 years, mother of 8 and Nana to 10 grandbabies. She is an advocate for an unhurried approach to homeschooling. In this episode, Durenda shares her journey of motherhood and the decisions she and Darryl made along the way to create an intentional family culture. We also discuss the distinctions of raising b...

For a few weeks now I have hinted at a life update that has been in the works and today I am (finally) sharing the full story of what shift has happened and what's next. My hope is that this continues to help you get to know me more and possibly encourages you in whatever change you are considering. And PS... HAPPY 100TH EPISODE!!! ⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠@morewithnikkidutton⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ni...

Elise Moore is one of my all-time favorite people. Over the last year she has navigated something she never anticipated: divorce. Through it all, I have watched her make the choice to show up as honestly as possible to seek truth and freedom. The purpose of this conversation isn't to hash out the details or push a scandalous story – this is Elise's real life. And the heartbeat of this epis...

Katie Davis Majors wrote her first book, Kisses From Katie – and not only was it a NYT Best Seller – but it made a massive impact on my friends and community when we were finishing high school. Never in my wildest dreams would I imagine I would have the opportunity to sit with Katie on my podcast to swap stories of God's goodness, talk about the way the Lord does not change when everything els...

In this episode I answer questions from a few of my close friends who make up the magic behind much of what I do. Some of these voices you've heard on the podcast before and others are a part of this group text I call The Dream Team because they pray, brainstorm, support and challenge all the things that I bring to them, like this podcast. QUESTION 01 from Stephanie Cardamone – What are the or...

Navigating life transitions is inevitable and often we forget that thriving through the change is possible. Enter Brandi Sellerz-Jackson: birth and life doula, creator ( Not So Private Parts ), co-founder ( Moms in Color ) , mom, wife and BRAND NEW AUTHOR of ON THRIVING: Harnessing Joy Through Life’s Great Labors . One of my favorite parts of this episode is when Brandi and I talk through each of...

Best-selling authors (and my friends) Audrey Elledge and Elizabeth are BACK to talk about their brand new book, Liturgies For Wholeness: 60 Prayers to Encounter the Depth, Creativity, and Friendship of God in Ordinary Moments . You'll hear this in our conversation – but I got an advanced copy of this book and am absolutely in love. It's unbelievable. In this episode, you'll hear Audrey...

This episode has quickly become a fan favorite from the life of this podcast so far. It couldn't fit more perfectly in this Christmas season as we remember the way that Jesus came to earth and Stephanie's testimony beautifully describes the way that Jesus is still working in real life. In this episode, Steph tells her story of coming to know Jesus. It's unlike anything I have ever hear...

This is a conversation that hit home. Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez speaks to those of us who feel stuck – stuck in our faith, relationships, calling or maybe that feel stuck in the plans we'd hope had come true by now. Pricelis is a brilliant coach, Bible teacher, advocate, writer, and entrepreneur who serves from a place of desiring to dignify all people, like Jesus does. @pricelispd on Instag...

I couldn't think of a better person to have on the podcast the day before Thanksgiving than my little sister, Lindsey Gentry. In this episode we tell stories from growing up together, talk a little bit about our family, swap memories about our dad and reflect on how grief has looked for each of us – specifically what that first holiday without him was like. I love my sister and am confident yo...

Cherrod Pate is full of power, intentionality, and kindness. Not only that – she has called every continent home, conquered cancer, and lives her life as a catalyst. Cherrod is absolutely brilliant and I am beyond grateful to have gotten to record this conversation together where we talk about her personal purpose statement, solo travel, why not me, and the magic of "tell me more about that.&...

Throughout the day we engage in multiple kinds of conversations – with co-workers, friends, family, baristas, cashiers – and the truth is that some conversations feel more engaging than others. But we all want someone to pay attention to us. Peter Nittler is a college pastor at UC Davis and was recommended to the podcast for a concept he calls middle talk. The essence of middle talk is to make gen...

This is a season of my life where courage to hope feels like a daily choice.

Emily Ballesteros is a burnout management coach who helps busy professionals create work-life balance. In this conversation we talk about the signs and symptoms of burnout and what about life/work today that makes burnout so prevalent. @emilybruth on Instagram @emilybruth on TikTok Emily Ballesteros Website (Pre-order The Cure For Burnout ) PARTNERSHIPS ⁠⁠Ritual ⁠⁠ - Ritual offers a variety of mul...

While almost all of us would say we want to be friends with God, actually forming a relationship like that – especially in seasons of wilderness – can feel elusive. I think Faith Eury Cho sums up this conversation (and points to her new book ) perfectly saying, "This is for the one who wants a real relationship with Presence of God, one that goes beyond feel-good platitudes and momentary insp...
