I have an incredibly exciting announcement today!
Are you ready? Ok. 🙂
For about two years now I’ve had a little dream tucked away. And a few weeks ago, I pulled the dream front and center. Because sometimes, you just gotta do it. Even when you’re scared. Even when you’re not sure. Even when you don’t have time. Even when … blah, blah, blah.
So I threw all my “even when’s” out the window and dove into this dream. And so, it is with great joy I present to you my very first podcast!
In this first episode, I invited my friend Holly Myers to join me for a conversation on the 37 lessons I’ve learned. The first part is just a little intro for those of you who aren’t super familiar with me. The rest of you can fast-forward to about minute 8. 🙂
Episode #01: 37 Lessons
Thanks for letting me share this new adventure with you!
P.S. The giveaway mentioned on the podcast is closed.

Congrats Nicki! How exciting!!
Hi Nicki!
I entered the contest but somehow missed the option to comment so I’m going to do it here lol.
The lesson that REALLY resonated with me is “There really is a time for everything.” I will be reading Ecclesiastes 3 after I post this. I am beginning the journey of becoming a minister and this lesson from
You has come at a very timely moment ????. Thank you for reminding me of that as it not only applies to my journey in ministry but in other areas of my life as well. I hope you have an incredibly blessed birthday and I am very much looking forward to more “Lessons from the Farm.” Thank you for having the courage and the faith to make this dream become a reality ????????
I cannot get the podcast to work! Please help!
Cindy Williams
I can’t get it either 🙁
Happy birthday! My main takeaway lesson from the podcast is definitely number one – failure is a requirement. I’ve been learning that God wants my obedience more than anything else, and obedience has nothing to do with how something turns out (ie whether I fail or not), but He just wants me to get on and do whatever it is He wants me to do! Stepping out in faith 🙂
I have honestly missed you YouTube videos. So excited for you and this new chapter. I’m off to listen now 🙂
I am so excited about your podcast! I can’t wait to download every episode. I love your heart!
happy birthday! I loved your first podcast. I just loved the reminder about Ecclesiastes 3. I will pray for your mom and your family. I can’t wait for the podcast to hit iTunes! I will be on the look out.
Can’t wait to listen
a PODCAST!!!! This is so wonderful!! Congratulations and I can’t wait to listen!! #YayGod!
How exciting! I can’t wait to get my hands on your new book! Can’t wait to listen to this podcast! Congratulations Nicki! ????
My favorite lesson was #9 – sometimes you have to accept things that are no more. It is a hard lesson and one I’m currently learning.
Happy birthday and welcome to the podcasting world!
I can’t wait to listen! I know it will be so good!
I am so excited !!
I love a clean house too! Mine is not perfect but I try to keep it picked up and I make my bed each day too. Sometimes I have to wait until my hubby gets out of it, or he gets mad! (KIDDING!) I also like the not winning all the time is ok! 🙂 So many good lessons! 🙂
Happy Birthday Nicki!! Thank you for the wonderful 37 lessons!! My favorite is ‘if you do not build your dream, someone else will hire you to build theirs’ wow!! thank you!!!
Happy, Happy 37th Birthday, Nicki!! ???? Lesson #23 Believing the best about people & #34 unplugging from social media. Enjoy your special day!!
I’m so excited to learn from you Nicki! I love your transparency. I think the take away from this weeks blog was, There is a time for everything. It’s so hard for us to be patient and wait for Gods timing.
Happy Birthday! My favorites from “the list” are 23 and 25. I’m still learning too!
Happy Birthday! The lesson I love is that our pasts and failures are about our future assignments.
YAY!!! A podcast!!! Happy Birthday sweet Nicki and congrats on the podcast!!! Loved every word! You are such an inspiration! God bless you as you follow your dreams! Can’t wait for your next book????
Nicki, I think your last lesson is the best one for me. Being in the moment.
Learning to believe the best about people is the lesson I most need to learn from all that you mentioned. Thanks you!
I am so excited for this! I love hearing you speak! Congratulations on fulfilling your dream!
So exciting! Congratulations!
Yay! So glad you took out this dream. I’m looking forward to hearing more from you.
I am SO excited for this Nicki! God has an amazing message to speak through you.
So excited for this podcast! I love the little snapshots of your life because you are so true to everything!
My favorite lesson is that failure is a requirement. So often I am hard on myself for falling short when truly it’s an opportunity to learn and grow and in some cases God is redirecting my path.
So excited for this blog! Happy Birthday.
Loved hearing 37 great tips, inspirational ideas, true and Godly things!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Nicki!!!! And I LOVE LOVE LOVE your podcast!!! I can’t wait until next week!!! Great job Nicki!!!
This makes me so Happy! I love this!
So good! The one that stuck with me most was “If you don’t build your dream, someone else will hire you to build theirs…” Wow! I am a person who has waited waaaayyyy too long to get started on her dream, and that is spot on. Thanks for the wisdom and for giving me the extra gentle push 🙂
So excited for these Podcast! Loved her 5 habits book!
Hi! How exciting . I love podcast❤️ Can’t wait to listen 🙂
As SOON as the littles give me the time or when I can just blast it out loud for them to listen as well, I will answer today’s question! So very excited!
My biggest takeaway was that I have to fail … that’s scary but necessary!
Congratulations and Happy Birthday! So happy for you! My favorite lesson is number 25: You don’t need permission from anyone to do what you are here to do.
Nicki,
# 23 hit home in my heart- I want to be the kind of woman who chooses to believe the best in people…I love the reality of your words that by doing this we are set free from their mistakes.
Nicki, God has gifted you! I love to read your books and hear you speak (with laughter). After reading your first book- Five Habits, I bought a case and gave them to friends to encourage them. Can’t wait for your next book. Persist on!
Super excited Nicki! I love podcasts and I am subscribing to yours now!
I love lesson 9, accept things that are no more!
Awesome!!! YAY!!! I had a couple of favorites from the lessons. What doesn’t kill you, still hurts. And, words linger for a long time!
I definitely learned you can’t turn blonde from a box. I was totally orange. Had to have a friend hairdresser fix my hair.
Congrats and looking forward to more good news soon.
So excited for ya’ll…I’ll be tuning in for sure ! Best wishes and lots of prayers !
Super excited for you on this new journey! Can’t wait to listen 🙂
Believing the best about people sets us free ❤️Loved that one ! Truth!
Happy birthday, Nicki! I really enjoyed your first podcast! I loved the section where you talked about everything having a season. I struggle with “letting go” of things when I know that it is “done”. Thank you!
My favorite lesson was about our time – we really do get to be in charge of how we spend our days! Loved the podcast and looking forward to more! <3
Happy Birthday Nicki! Podcast was a blessing!!
So many good ones but I loved the reminder to really be in the moment. Also, failure is a part of life. That’s a tough lesson but one that everyone needs to hear!
Happy Birthday Nicki! Loved your podcast!! My favorite lesson was #1. Though it is hard to go through those failures, I wouldn’t be the person I am today from the lessons learned during those difficult times. Can’t wait to hear the next podcast!!
So many good things!!! Seasons come and go….letting them go is so hard.
I’m so happy about your decision to start the podcast. I love your genuineness. My favorite lesson is about our time. I have a hard time regulating my time to include study time, prayer time and just quiet time.
So exciting!!!!!!
Happy Birthday!!!! Love your 37 lessons! So excited for your new project!
{yes….to making the bed everyday ????} knowing there is a season for everything, according to God’s Word, reminds me while going through a trial that “this is a season and to embrace Jesus”.
Happy Birthday! I loved the lesson, “Am I thinking about it or am I praying about it?” I ruminate continually and I have to catch myself and turn it over to God and LET….IT….GO!!!
I so enjoyed your podcast today! I look forward to many more! I also loved the lesson about being yourself and don’t try to be a knock off of someone else. I think that is such a great reminder!
Nicki, what a great podcast! You are so fun, full of life, down to earth, and genuine! I cannot wait to hear more from you.
You don’t need permission to do what you know you’re made to do!! Yessss!! Thank you for that beautiful reminder Nicki! I love ALL of these soooo much!!! I felt like we were totally sitting around having a chat! Thank you ☺️❤️
Nicki, How much fun it was to help you celebrate your birthday! Mine was Saturday!!!!!
Love love the podcast! Probably #28 is my favorite although there were so so many I loved too!
Blessings on this new ministry! I am entering the world of blogging for the first time right now also! Let’s cheer each other on and any other ladies that are entering new adventures to their lives.
Praise God!
Facing our facts while fixing our faith. Great lesson when you are going through tough times that you don’t want to go through. Easier to talk about than to actually put into practice.
My favorite lesson was to believe the best in people. I always try to find the gold and totally believe you’ll always find what you’re looking for. So look for the best and find the best! Thank you for this! And I pinky swear with a cherry on top, to leave a review when we can! Hehe Thank you Nicki for all you do to encourage and point others to Jesus.
I want to believe the best in people! I loved that part! At 39 years old, I have hardened from this and lost a bit of youth’s trust!
I love how real you are. Hiding in the closet, “messing” up but just keep going, talking about animals and children… You are amazing. I learned God made me who I am and He can use me right where I am.
I loved Ecclesiastes 3..to everything there is a season. Sometimes when you are in “the trenches” you forget that..You think it is never ending…so I always ask God..What is the lesson to be learned from this painful or joyful experience..If you are really looking and listening to His spirit..He will answer..Thanks Nicki, your podcast was on point! Loved it..Hope you and yours are well.
Happy Birthday!???? Love your podcast. My favorite lesson in your 37 lessons was about believing the best about others and yes I’ll agree Coke Zero is the better than Diet Coke.
Happy birthday and what an exciting way to celebrate! Ecclesiastes 3 has gotten me through a number of things from finding my husband of 40 years to the loss of bot h parents in 6 months. I love your openess and honesty and will be praying for you and your mom. It has bern an especially touching scripture since wee discovered my husband has vascular demention and Alzheimer’s plus kidney disease and a few other health issues. In April he came home from the hospital under hospice care but praising and continue praying that his health continures to improve and they discharge him from hospice in 2 months! He will still have good and bad days but God is holding us tight and there is still joy in my heart. I have said for sometime now that it be God’s will not mine. Bless you and hang on can’t wait to hear from your youngest!
I loved what you said about past experiences being a clue to future calling. Helps me keep perspective. Especially when in a dry season 🙂 loved the podcast!
Happy Birthday Nicki! I am so excited for you and I know I am going to LOVE the podcast “Lessons from the Farm”. Congratulations and many blessings. Michelle
So excited about this!! Also that I finally found the blog, lol.
I can’t wait to listen later today! Congrats!
I’ve tried to listen to the podcast twice yet it keeps stopping on me and won’t start back unless I restart it.
I just love hearing all the updates about your family farm and your daughters. I completely get the hormones as I have 3 daughters and now 2 granddaughters.
I look forward to all you have for us on your podcast.
Hi Nicki!
I loved your first podcast! Congratulations on jumping in and doing what you’ve wanted to do for 2 years now! That’s the only way to succeed is to jump in with both feet and just do it! I can’t wait to hear next week’s podcast and since your sweet girl, Kennedy Grace will be on, I plan on listening with my 12 year old Savannah Grace:o) Happy Birthday Nicki!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! I cant pick just one…..Failure is a requirement!!! We can’t ALWAYS win! Sleep should be a major priority!!! There is never gonna be a perfect church!!!!!
I know your gonna do great with these podcasts!!!
Very nice! Loved all the tips. Happy Birthday
Very exciting!! Happy birthday!! I shared on social media but don’t have itunes. You did a great job on podcast! Way to go!! I loved all the lessons. My favorite was about the pugs. Lol Can’t wait to hear more. You are such a joy!
Happy Birthday Nikki! I first heard about you from your book, 5 habits! I’ve read it so many times! It’s second to my Bible in my stack of books that are necessary for my life!
Great first podcast. I love podcasts because I can listen while I get ready in the morning (no, I don’t make my bed…).
But I love #23, believing the best in others releases you from their mistakes.
I carry so many burdens that aren’t my own! It’s so stupid! It’s part of my controlling/need to be helpful nature.
I need to just let it go. I love to have a one-line-saying to remind myself to not carry the burdens of other’s mistakes.
Thank you! Looking forward to more.!
And thank you for the GIVEAWAY Nikki and Holly!
Happy Birthday Nicki! My first biggest takeaway today is the one about there are no perfect churches. As a military family, we have moved three times in the past 8 years. This meant we had to look for new churches. We have found no churches that are perfect and we have to extend grace as God extends grace to us. So we find the church that best meets our needs and preaches the Gospel in a way that lines up with God’s Word – the Bible.
My second take away is the one about being in the moment. As the mom of a 21-year old, an almost 19-year-old, an almost 17-year-old and an almost 15 year old, this is made clearer every day. We will only have these four in our home for a certain amount of time, and I want to treasure and enjoy every minute.
So happy for you Nicki! I look forward to making “Lessons From the Farm” a regular in my podcast rotation. 🙂
Happy Birthday Nicki!! I’ve missed you on P31 OBS. Great podcast! My favorite lesson is #24 “Debt is Really Bad”. Looking forward to the next podcast!!
Oh my goodness. First of all, there’s no way I can pick just one “favorite” takeaway form this podcast. There are too many gems! Thank you for making me laugh . . . and also for making me well up with tears of “Amen!” and “Thank you, Jesus.” I love that you mixed light-hearted and fun lessons with ones that reach to the depths of my soul. I do have to disagree with you on two of your lessons, however. My kids would REJOICE about your Pug love . . . but I will go to my grave refusing to give in to their demands that we own one. LOL! I don’t think they’re smiling. They’re gassy! LOL And the other I disagree with is the laundry detergent. ALL Free & Clear all day, every day. ha! But maybe that’s because of the hard, dust and mineral filled water here in Arizona? I absolutely LOVE this podcast and can’t wait for more. Thank you for reminding me of so many life-giving truths! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Enjoy your 30s. I turn 43 next month and I think I need to finally invest in some expensive foundation! You both are treasures!
So glad to hear from you again.
You are so refreshing and open.
Can’t wait to hear your 37 lessons.
I am so excited about this!!! Can’t wait! I live on a little farm too so maybe I will relate with these lessons! Lol!
Very exciting! Can’t wait to listen!
I love your lessons and it’s hard to choose just one. But my husband and I can totally relate to getting out of debt. We went through FPU about a year and a half ago and we are almost done with baby step 2! It’s so exciting. It’s made life more enjoyable and our relationship so much stronger. It also brings so much peace for our future and our children’s future.
I love podcast so I couldn’t be more excited you are doing this Nicki! And, after listening to the first episode I’m certain this is going to quickly become one of my very favorites! It was funny, insightful & left me with some things to think about & that is a perfect podcast. Happy Birthday, many blessings to you & thank you for being such a good & faithful servant.
WOW! 37 lessons! I think I’ll lean in to all of these! Thanks for doing this.
Great lessons!! #23 really hit home for me..I need to be more intentional about believing the good in people’s actions! #28..Wow I think more than I pray, #33 I love how great I feel after a good belly laugh! #34 I get so much more accomplished in my day when I choose to unplug! #37 Praying for you Nicki and your family and the current season you are in!
I love all the lessons! I hope you will email a printable list of these lessons to your subscribers! We really need these! I know you may not want to post here so that people will listen to the podcast, but maybe you could email them to subscribers after a couple of days? I really like #9! Accept things that are no more. Such a good lesson. Thank you and Happy Birthday! Praying for you and your family in this difficult time with your mom’s illness.
So excited for this new chapter for you!! I loved all the lessons! It’s hard to pick just one, but I loved “Your past has clues for your present assignment.” I would love to have a print out of all of the lessons!
Can’t wait for all the other podcasts!! <3
Happy Birthday!!
Thank you doing the podcast and for keeping it real!!!
Thank you for acknowledging that what doesn’t kill you still hurts!!
Great podcast!
Thank you!
Melissa
Yay! I love listening to podcasts, whether I’m driving or doing the dishes! 😀
Happy birthday!! What a fun podcast and I loved all of the lessons (except the Diet Coke lol used to be the only thing I drank literally and I’ve been a water drinker for years now).
Nicki, I am so excited to be able to be a part of your podcasts. You inspire me and bring me much joy. Thank you,
Happy birthday ! I loved the pod cast! If I had to pick a favorite lesson it would be “This to shall pass”. I must remember this, during the difficult times and more importantly during the good times.
My favorite takeaway was that there is a time for everything. I did also resonate with failure being a requirement as well. Excited about the podcasts. Happy birthday!!
Happy birthday! I could relate to every.single.one of the 37 lessons. So many gold nuggets in this podcast. Now I’m concerned about if I wear cheap makeup, lol! ???? I love that the overarching theme seemed to be to just be yourself, go for your dreams and trust God. Blessings for you and your family.
I can’t wait to listen!
Happy Birthday. I loved the podcast. My favorite and one I need to remember is If you don’t love it don’t buy it.
Loved the podcast. I will be listening again. You are amazing! Love you girl.
Donkeys are pregnant up to 14 months??? wow. you provide fun and spiritual nuggets in the podcast. Thank you.
Okay Nicki… I tried to leave a review on your podcast and I think I hit send about 4-5 times. Hahaha! It doesn’t look like it went through though. Here is what I thought below. I just LOVED IT!
I just listened to Nicki’s podcast launch on 37 lessons and I seriously smiled the entire time. If I wasn’t smiling it was because I was taking notes on all of the gold nuggets of truths she dropped with so much love and empathy in her voice. They resonated so loudly with me and I hope to never forget them.
When she said “what doesn’t kill you-still hurts” it felt like she was speaking directly to me. Sometimes we just need to be reminded that it’s okay to not be okay. But also reminded to have joy in life’s most difficult moments.
When Nicki started saying goodbye, I didn’t want it to end and already can’t wait until next week!
Happy Birthday, Nicki! My favorite lesson from your first podcast (yay!) is this: “What doesn’t kill you, still hurts.” I think that too often we can dismiss someone else’s feelings since we aren’t the ones feeling them and we might not see just how hard a time someone else is having in the situation they find themselves in.
I know you heard me squeal all way at the #FixerUpperFarm! Congrats girl…there is no one I would rather have a Podcast than you! I can’t wait to check it out! Way to go girl. Love and blessings to you!
I enjoyed the entire podcast. The Ecclesiastes 3 lesson hit home for me. I listened while at work so I am looking forward to re-listening tonight after everyone else has gone nighty night.
Limiting Social media, Something I need to work on.
Facing the fats while fixing our faith
Nicki – I love this!!
I’m so happy for you!
These 37 lesson were so fun and applicable at the same time! I couldn’t choose just one, so here are my few:
#1 – Failure isn’t an option, it’s a requirement.
#6 – A clean house makes room to breathe.
#7 – You don’t always get to win.
#10 – My past has clues for my present assignment. (I kept hearing this over and over at She Speaks – love that confirmation :))
#23 – Believing the best about people, sets me free from their mistakes.
#30 – If I don’t love it, don’t buy it!
#34 – Unplugging from Social Media from time to time is good for my brain.
#37 – There really is a time for everything.
Okay, so that was a big “few,” but they spoke to me! Thanks, Nicki! Looking forward to next week!
Blessings!
Gah, I loved this SO much! And great job just jumping in – imperfect progress, right?! My kids & I listened as we drove and I was really encouraged. They lived the idea of copying Holly & having a birthday month ???? Loved getting to hear your voice again too 🙂
Don’t believe everything on the internet…it’s just not all true!! Be discerning…
Believing the best about people and that there is a time for everything… two things that I need to remember!
I liked the last comments about time. I need to remember there is a season but I that season are the moments. I need to make those moments count.
Happy Birthday! I’m excited to continue listening to your podcasts!
And tide is the best! 😉
Happy Happy Birthday! We also had the 3 girl thing and I had no sister and if you ask any husbands they will tell you, they are now (just 30, also just 28 and will be 24 in October) I love you podcast and you making me laugh ( I would love to one day to meet you or get t be in on one of your Bible studies Thank you and God Bless I would like to be able to get a print out of your list, but these are the ones that I really can use and thank you I really needed this <3 Hugs to you and your family (not sure if this is where I need to enter the contest)? But again thank you
# 7 You don't always get to win

# 18 Right your vision goals and dreams down
# 19 Just when you think you have it all figured out you don't
# 22 Sleep is nothing that you should take lightly
#23 Believing the best about people accurately sets you free from their mistakes

Oh how I loved this! I hope to meet you one day! I’m getting to hang out with holly this weekend and I’m sooo excited!
I truly am grateful to come across this today ! I identified with many of your lessons today – and want to listen again with my daughter- whose name is also Kennedy ! So we are looking forward to next weeks podcast ! I – I need to remember if you don’t love it don’t buy it ! I want to spend more time thinking about – your past leaves clues for your future.
This was awesome today! I thoroughly enjoyed it all, and was especially impressed with what’s coming next after this life! It’s so hard to wrap my finite mind around an infinite God! Can’t wait til next week! Happy Birthday dear lady! <3 <3
I loved all 37 of them. Can’t pick just one! Thanks for listing them again tho–they deserve a book of their own !! AND Happy Birthday.
I loved listening to your 37 lessons. I felt like I was sitting at the table with you! #23 Believing the best about people accurately sets you free from their mistakes <3 <3 <3
I loved listening to the Podcasr today. I picked out at least 7 lessons. My top ones are#18 is definitely something I need to do and #24 as I stayed up late looking for options to get out of debt. #28Praying to God is super important but not something I do, but know I need to in order to have that personal relationship with Him and lastly #34 unplug from social media..definitely need to pick a day and sign off for the entire day. Lastly, I am with Holly…Gain laundry detergent is the BEST.
Happy Birthday Nicki! I loved your very first podcast! How exciting! I just love you and your sweet sweet spirit! Can’t wait for your next book! ????Blessings to you and your sweet family!
How exciting May God bless your podcast and bring much fruit from it
Thank you Nicki!! I really enjoyed your podcast!! Can’t wait to hear another one ❤️
So exciting! can’t wait to hear more 🙂
no .. I cannot get the podcast
I am super excited you took the leap to start this Podcast! I loved what you said in lesson #12 What we are doing now is a warm up for eternity! ALSO, #18 Write your vision down and #25 You don’t need permission to do the things you are here to do. I wrote those down and hung them up on my bathroom mirror as a daily reminder!
I loved: “Failure is not an option in life, it’s a requirement.” So true! It took me so long to not define myself as a failure in those moments, but instead trust God’s plan, learn and keep moving!
Nicki, everything you said is SO true. My favorite lessons that you shared are lesson #10 & lesson #18. I cannot wait to listen to all of the episodes of this podcast! God Bless <3
I love this and am so excited you are podcasting!! I simply could not choose one of the 37 lessons to be my favorite because they are all on point! I’d love to see them in print as a blog post. Great stuff!
Can’t wait to hear what you have to share. So excited!
Loved the podcast! I couldn’t help but smile and agree with those 37 lessons!
Awesome podcast with some great points! Maybe I need to start making my bed! Lol
Can’t wait to hear more from you!
Was sooo excited to discover your podcast . As one who read “A woman who doesn’t quit” not only did I learn soo much more about Ruth and her story – but I learned more about myself – who I am currently and where I want to be lead in my walk/journey.
Appreciate and enjoyed the lessons your shared today – #4 What doesn’t kill you…still hurts and #5 Words linger for a long time were lessons that resonated with me. Definitely lessons I need to keep at the forefront of my mind – –
Looking forward to the next episode!!
Blessings
That was a lovely first podcast! I’ve been wanted to find a new, God-focused podcast to add to my list, so this will definitely be it. Hope it makes it to iTunes soon!
My favorite lesson is believing the best in people. So true! We honor people when we believe in there no matter what’s going in their lives. This is when we empower people to be the best they can be!! ❤️
Your podcast was soo awesome. It was full of laughter which I was laughing right with ya. It was full of realness and we all need to hear that we aren’t the only one going through something. Great job. 🙂
The podcast is great!! I will definitely stay tuned for the next one and share.
I grew up hearing the “this too shall pass” phrase all the time. I loved your lesson of while yes the season will pass, it still hurts during it. I hated the phrase because I felt like my feelings weren’t validated in the tough seasons.
I enjoyed the entire podcast. It felt like we were in your home with you. Some seasons seen very long but they are actually a moment. Also loved that there is not a perfect church because it is made up of imperfect people.
Tried to review the podcast on iTunes but it would not allow me to submit.
Way to go on your first podcast! All 37 lessons were fabulous! It’s hard to pick one…
But I am going with #25
“You don’t need permission from anyone to do what God called you to do.”
I loved the lesson that this too shall pass. I’ve been in a season having health issues. It hurts but it will pass.
I am so excited for you, and I can’t wait to hear more of the 37 lessons!!
A clean house leaves space to breathe! Amen Sister!
Are these 37 Lessons written down anywhere?? I love these!! So great!
Also my favorite lesson was the last one.. I also have been learning about how there is a time for everything .. this summer I was diagnosed with Thyroid cancer.. I am still recovering but God has shown me that I CAN allow myself time to heal. Why is it so hard for a wife, and busy mom to allow herself time to heal.. Thankful for these verses in Ecclesiastes as well. AND so thankful for you Nicki. You bring so much Joy. I can just hear it in your sweet voice.. God bless you!!
It’s all done in his timing not ours!!!
I can’t pick a favorite of the lessons learned, because I loved them all! I loved how they were mostly about just every day life! Keep up the good work!
Enjoyed the podcast………..Happy Birthday!!
I cannot seem to get the podcast to play. I am not sure why. I would love to listen to the 37 lessons.
#24 Debt is really bad is a great tip. I wished I’d learned that early in my 20s.
I loved this and your list of 37 things. There is a time for everything and that we are the manager of our time was one of my favorites. Failure is a requirement that I pray my 10 year old learns soon in life as she expects to be perfect and the best in all that she does and needs to learn that we learn best through failure and our mistakes. Excited for the next one with your daughter. Happy birthday!
Loved the Podcast! My favorite lesson was you must make your bed every morning. It sets the tone for your whole day. My mom taught me this in elementary school and I’m so glad!
I’m so excited you are doing a podcast!!! ????
I had so many takeaways:
*What doesn’t kill you, still hurts.
*Sometimes you have to accept things that are no more.
*Believing the best about people sets you free from their mistakes.
But especially, your teaching about everything having a season.
So excited to hear this! You are inspiring and encouraging! God bless you as you are faithful to Him!
I took away-
What doesn’t kill you still hurts-WOW! This ongoing struggle(going on 4 years) has not killed me, but it is still so hurtful when a loved one wants nothing to do with me.
How exciting!! I can’t wait for all you have going on in this upcoming season of life!
Seriously such a good podcast! Thanks so much for pouring your heart out for others. 🙂
Oh my goodness. I loved the podcast. I needed to hear those lessons although well I don’t make my bed everyday and my house is always seems cluttered and yes words stay awhile sometimes many, many years…….thank you for sharing with us. Looking forward to the next podcast!
Hi Nicki, Happy Birthday!!! Found you via Lisa Whittle on IG and loved your podcast! My favorites were #25 Don’t let anyone keep you from doing what you were called to do and #28 how God desires our prayers! Love the mix of spiritual, practical and fun lessons you shared!!
Nicki, I loved your podcast. You are always fun to listen to. I love your laughter and most of all, your sharing of how God is at work in and through you. Thanks for your life lessons. I enjoyed them all, but #25 especially stood out… You don’t need permission form anyone to do what you are here to do.
This journey our family is on obeying the call of HIm has not been easy, and most people do not understand, but we are continuing to follow Him anyway. He knows the valleys and mountains He is placing us in and on, and we will continue to follow Him, as we learn and grow in HIm.
God bless. Continue to follow HIm!!!
This podcast is so great. I loved your friend and I loved learning how long donkeys are pregnant for. Following on instagram to see the sweet baby donkey. The barn we ride at has donkeys. I haven’t convinced my husband we should have one here in town.
How exciting for you AND for us!! I will listen to the podcast here in a minute, but just wanted to say Congratulations!! Now off to listen…
Nicki,
This podcast was amazing. I am looking forward to many more. I have found so much joy in your Five Habits book.
I really needed to hear number 29 as I just left a chuch due to a recent move and have really struggled with leaving my church where I was a member for five years. It was the hardest put this of move.
I also LOVED number 33 about laughing. I make sure I laugh daily and really find joy in trying to make others laugh.
Who is your favorite fictional author to read?
Thank you for being such a blessing!!
