When Nikki’s seven-week-old baby was suddenly diagnosed with cancer, her world collapsed overnight — but God met her in the ashes and rebuilt her faith from the ground up. In this deeply tender conversation, Nikki and her best friend Samantha share how faith, Scripture, community, and obedience carried them through fear, chemo, trauma, and the miraculous creation of Aligned Mommas.
Today’s episode is tender, raw, and holy — the kind of story that stays with you long after the final minute.
When baby Sadie was just seven weeks old, Nikki received the news every mother prays she never hears: “Your daughter has cancer.” In an instant, joy turned to terror… and yet, in the middle of the unthinkable, God began writing a story of faith, friendship, miracles, and uncommon courage.
Wendy sits down with Nikki Trout and her best friend, Samantha Capstick — founders of Aligned Momma's, a nonprofit and community for women who want to live in purpose, on purpose. Together they share the journey of hospital rooms, chemo drips, fasting, worship, prophetic dreams, Scripture playlists, and the fierce determination of a mother who refused to let go of God’s character or His promises.
This episode is for the mom fighting silent battles, the friend who wants to show up better, and the woman wondering if God still sees her in the middle of her breaking.
You’ll walk away believing this truth with fresh conviction:
There is no darkness God cannot break into. No diagnosis He cannot meet. No story He cannot redeem.
What to do when life breaks without warning
How God shows up through friendship and community
The faith required to believe for healing when circumstances don’t change overnight
Why obedience in the waiting matters
How Sadie’s journey birthed a national movement for moms
