I'm Emily P. Freeman and welcome to The Next Right Thing. You're listening to

episode 328. 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.

This is a podcast about making decisions, but also about making a life.

If you struggle with decision fatigue, 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.

For the next several weeks, we're doing something we've never done before.

It's a bit of a look back at some of my personal

favorite episodes. One thing I know after nearly seven years of hosting this

podcast is that sometimes listener favorites aren't the same as my favorites, so I'm indulging

myself and republishing some favorites of my own.

One risk of this I know that you'll see quite obviously is how my voice has changed both in

timber and in depth so that's a thing. Welcome to aging and experience but I

also say things and express myself a little bit differently now

than I did then. I talked faster than, especially in this episode, what is happening?

I hope it's not too distracting for you, but also things were different then.

But still, these stories matter to me and it's been good for me to revisit them.
