I'm Emily P. Freeman and welcome to The Next Right Thing.

You're listening to episode 298.

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

I live in the Piedmont of North Carolina with my family

overcome decision fatigue

so that they can discern their next right thing in faith, in work, and in life.
