I'm Emily P. Freeman and welcome to the next right thing. You're listening to episode 276.

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 is sometimes delightful but also distracting hum of entertainment,

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

Today I'm glad to welcome author Taylor Elise Morrison who has turned being bad at self-care

into a career. She's the founder of the media company Inner Workout and the author of a book

by the same name. I could have invited a number of different wellness people to come and talk

care for, and become their full selves. I'm grateful to have Taylor join me today. I hope you'll listen in.

and unspoken? And so that is my long intro to say to you why I'm so glad to have this conversation

with you because you are a person from what I gather and what I know of you so far who pays
