I'm Emily P. Freeman and welcome to the next right thing. You're listening to

episode 310. I'm an author, a spiritual director and an occasional

workshop leader.

I live in the Piedmont of North Carolina with my family, and through my work I've helped

thousands of spiritually thoughtful people overcome decision fatigue so that they can discern their next right thing in faith, work, and life.

That's where we'll continue the conversation that we start here on the podcast and we'll continue talking about it there all about decision making and discernment for anyone who wants to move beyond the pro-con list.

If you struggle with decision fatigue, with chronic

hesitation, or if you just need a few minutes away from the constant stream of

information and the sometimes delightful but also distracting hum of entertainment, you're in the right place for discerning your next right thing.

Wherever this episode finds you today.

Chances are in some area of your life,

you're either thinking through a big decision,

working to clear up your brain from some false narratives,

or maybe you're feeling like you're in a funk but you can't

quite figure out why. Sometimes you just need someone to help you get unstuck and

to take one next right step forward. So that's what we'll work today to do together. Be sure to

stay to the end because that's where I'll read a fitting blessing from our

friend Kate Bowler. She has a brand new book releasing next week called Have a Beautiful Terrible Day because when you're feeling stuck the last thing you need is someone waltzing into your space with two hands filled with toxic positivity.

That's something I hope you never find here and definitely not something you'll find with Kate.

So at the end I'll read her blessing for when you don't feel fulfilled anymore.
