In this special episode celebrating the 3-year anniversary of the Hope Unlocked podcast, host 🦅 Kristin Kurtz 🦅 welcomes back friend and guest Cindy Nicolson for a powerful follow-up conversation.

Cindy, founder of Embracing Grace, shares the incredible journey behind her two newest ventures — the newly launched Embracing Grace magazine and her devotional Loved, Chosen, Redeemed, and Called, now live on the YouVersion Bible App.

Cindy opens up about a dream that was 20 years in the making, the wilderness season that finally birthed it, and how God used her publishing background as training ground for this moment. She vulnerably shares her personal story — from childhood trauma and broken identity to a profound revelation of who she is as a daughter of the King — and how that transformation became the heartbeat behind everything she creates.

Whether you're sitting on a dream that feels too big, wrestling with your identity, or simply hungry for more of God's purpose in your life, this conversation will stir and strengthen your faith.

In this episode:

- The vision and heart behind the Embracing Grace magazine
- How identity shapes everything we do
- Stepping out of corporate into calling
- The miracle of doing what you said you couldn't do
- A beautiful closing prayer over every listener.
