Summary

How can you live your life more fully YOU? Do you need permission to take a hot minute to check in with yourself?

This week we meet Emily, a grad student and a mom in a busy season of life who has practical advice on how we can connect with ourselves and our Father. We talk about creativity and all of the different shapes it can come in. Did you know you can be creative and connect with God without buying the entire contents of aisle 10 at Michaels?

Emily P. Freeman is the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Simply Tuesday and A Million Little Ways. As host of The Next Right Thing podcast, she helps create space for the soul to breathe, offering a fresh perspective on the sacredness of our inner life with God. Emily and her husband live in North Carolina with their three children.

WHAT WE CHAT ABOUT:
  • how Emily’s book idea turned into a podcast, then back into the book The Next Right Thing

  • the power of indecision

  • defining soul care and where to start

  • how being creative is a part of soul transformation

  • ways to find creativity in things you’re already doing
