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

You're listening to episode 166.

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 a thoughtful story, a little prayer,

and a simple next right step.

In this episode, we'll talk about how to cope with disappointment.

But first, a few words about this episode sponsor Skillshare, a digital learning platform

that can help you discover a new skill, a new passion, or a way to create more meaning

in your everyday life this year.

Skillshare's online community offers thousands of classes for the creative and the curious.

One particular class that caught my eye is Portrait Photography taught by Jessica Cabasi.

Jessica is a portrait and fashion photographer who teaches us everything we need to know to

get that elusive perfect portrait shot, whether you want to post it online or update your

family photo wall.

She covers posing, choosing colors and clothes, and harnessing the power of natural light

and less than an hour and a half.

Or maybe you want to take yourself from listening to podcasts to creating your own.

In that case, try out Nikola Okome's podcast secrets class where she shares how to start

your own podcast from naming a topic theme to recording and publishing.

It's a great class for beginners and you can knock it out in an afternoon.
