More with Nikki Dutton

Over that last four years I have had the privilege of being a graduate student in the first-ever Propel Women cohort as a part of the Wheaton College Master's Program. As a cohort of 20 women, we have been pursuing a Master's Degree in Evangelism and Leadership. I am amazed at all I have learned and the community of women I have gained as a student in this program. After wrapping our very last cla...

For those of you who love a list, here are the 29 lessons covered in this conversation – Take a summer vacation, even if it's on a budget Bodies change over the years Relationships change too Posit...

This episode features my favorite human on the planet – my husband, Scott Dutton. In this conversation you will get to hear Scott and I retell the story of how we met, share a handful of memories from when we were first dating and engaged, plus a Q+A with Scott.

What would our world look like if people were simply raised to be kind? Today, I have the honor of introducing you to one of my closest friends, Kelsey MacMinn, as she discusses what she's learned about raising kind humans (and being one). Kelsey has her master's degree in clinical psychology and has served as a director for a daycare the last three years, plus she has two toddlers of her own with...

SURPRISE! I thought I'd try out adding a couple bonus episodes into the mix. Bonus episodes will be about 10-15 minutes which makes them the perfect length for listening to while you drive to the grocery store, walk your dog, or brush your teeth. This bonus episode highlights five things I'm grateful for currently—hopefully it inspires you to make your own short (or long) list. To learn more about...

This episode features a new friend of mine that I was introduced to by our first podcast guest, Trudy Cathy White. Kylie White shares her story and highlights a few of the plot twists along the way that have prompted a shift in perspective. Plot twists and reorienting perspective is certainly something we can all relate to over the last 12+ months (and beyond). In this conversation, Kylie shares w...

Wow, wow, wow. Each podcast episode starts with a plan and every interview comes with a list of prepared questions, but this conversation exceeded all expectations.

We all had hopes that at 12:01am on January 1, 2021 we would magically step out of the change and challenges of the last year. Like, straight-up fairy godmother disappear. Yet, here we are at the end of January and many of us are still sorting through the effects of the last 12+ months. This episode is not a rant on 2020 but it is an attempt to wrap language around the toll that this collective ex...

The holidays can be "the most wonderful time of the year", but they can also be filled with heartache and challenge for many of us. If anything, maybe your Christmas this year doesn't look like the picture-perfect Christmas card you had in mind (ours doesn't). This episode is a conversation on how to navigate both joy and pain during the holiday season. Nikki Dutton Instagram: @nikkdutton Incredib...

Maybe "more" isn't always in adding additional activity to our life or signing up for one more commitment. Finding the "more" we want out of our lives, relationships and space may actually be found by turning down the noise and creating space. So why do we avoid moments of quiet, stillness and solitude? Let's look at "less is more" together. + This is an especially timely episode as we step into t...
