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

episode 332. This is a podcast about making decisions, but it's 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 distracting

home of entertainment you're in the right place for discerning your next right thing.

I am an author, a spiritual director and an occasional workshop leader.

I live in 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.

Maybe you've been able to take some time off over the summer, either from work or social media or other activities,

or perhaps you haven't had that luxury.

And you're left wondering here toward the end of August

if this nagging feeling you have inside

is because you're on the edge of some kind of shift.

Perhaps you've been standing at that threshold for quite some time.

Hopefully you know by now that my newest New York Times best-selling book, How to Walk Into a Room,

was written with you in mind.

And in it I share a simple framework to evaluate the spaces in your life that you may be questioning or the spaces that might be questioning you.

And I also offer some practices to engage to help you know whether it's time to stay or if it might be time to walk away.

The question will hold together today.
