Intention #8: I will open to delight.
Wed Dec 17 2025
In this final Weekly Intention episode of 2025, Nicki invites you into a simple but transformative practice for the holiday season and the months ahead: opening to delight.
Nicki reflects on how awe can arise in the most ordinary places—a cut grapefruit, the smell of spiced coffee, a quiet childhood memory beneath the Christmas tree. Even on tired, imperfect days, these tiny moments of delight can shift our energy and reconnect us to what’s sacred in daily life.
In this episode, Nicki explores:
-What it means to “open to delight”
-How small, ordinary moments can become sources of awe
-Why naming delight helps us feel more of it
-How this practice can support us through both joy and heaviness
-The difference between “I will” and “I am” in setting intentions
-A gentle invitation to carry this practice into your kitchen and your days
This is the last episode of the year and a beautiful way to center yourself as we enter the holidays and prepare for a new season. The podcast will return in March 2026 with fresh Weekly Intentions and brand-new interviews.
