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

You're listening to episode 316.

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

I live in the Piedmont of North Carolina with my family

and through my work I've helped thousands of spiritually thoughtful people

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

Today's episode is brought to you by my new book that releases,

two weeks from today, How to Walk Into a Room Will Help you through a four-part framework to help you discern

whether or not now is the time to walk into a new room or to walk out of an old one.

If you order the book anytime between now, before now, or on release

day on March 12th, I have free gifts for you, including a brand new audio collection

in the Quiet Collection app.

Blessings for Hallows and Goodbyes,

and a companion downloadable workbook

to go along with it to help you know and name
