I Got Faith

Would love to hear from you 💛What up! In this episode of Walking Forward in Faith, I share how I realized that softening my truth just to keep others comfortable was really hurting me. Living in Mexico has brought healing, freedom, and peace—and I can’t keep hiding that to make someone else feel better. I reflect on Genesis 19:26 and Lot’s wife looking back, and why I’ve decided I can’t dim what GOD is doing in my life just to fit into someone else’s expectations.Support the showLet’s stay connected:Visit WalkingForwardInFaith.com Follow me on IG: @yagirlnikkiSubscribe and leave a review if this episode blessed you!

Would love to hear from you 💛Since moving to Mexico, I’ve learned rainy season brings out the mosquitoes—and honestly, they’ve been preaching a sermon to me. Did you know they can sense your breath from over 150 feet away? The more you breathe, the more they bite. That hit me, because it’s the same way the enemy—and sometimes even people—show up the moment you start speaking life over your dreams. In this episode, I’m sharing what GOD showed me about guarding your breath, protecting your spirit, and only releasing your plans in safe spaces where they can grow.Support the showLet’s stay connected:Visit WalkingForwardInFaith.com Follow me on IG: @yagirlnikkiSubscribe and leave a review if this episode blessed you!

Would love to hear from you 💛Have you ever let fear stop you from showing up? My six-year-old daughter almost did. With a loose tooth barely hanging on, she was terrified to compete in her karate match. Fear whispered what if—what if it falls out, what if she swallows it? But with some cheering on and a little push, she showed up, fought hard, and WON. The best part? The tooth stayed right in place.

Would love to hear from you 💛Twenty years in radio taught me how to use my voice—but it also taught me how to hide behind it. I gave my all to the industry, thinking it was my forever. But what I didn’t realize was that radio had become my comfort zone… and my crutch. In this episode, I’m opening up about how GOD started nudging me—then pushing me—out of what was familiar and into my true calling. Losing my job wasn’t just a loss; it was a release. A release from fear, from people-pleasing, from playing small. I finally see that I don’t need a station to speak or a title to have impact. GOD gave me the gift, and HE gets the final say.
