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

You're listening to episode 139.

This is a podcast about making decisions,

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,

I'll bring you a thoughtful story,

a little prayer, and a simple next right step.

along with some remarkable learning opportunities for all ages.
