I've become pretty suspicious of ambition, especially the kind that I find in myself, because

a lot of times the my own longing to succeed, and even that can be like succeed for Jesus,

you know, I mean, it can be good things, but I sometimes question it because I'm not

sure that's not really what I see in Jesus.

I don't really see hustle in him.

And I guess it depends on how you define the word, but the way I define it is when my soul

feels like it's shaking on the inside.

And so to answer your question, how I've seen changes in my family, I feel like it starts

with me on the inside is I've started to ask myself, where can my soul sit down on a

bench on the inside so that I can be more present with my family on the outside?

You're listening to episode 83 of the God Center Mom podcast with me, Heather McFadden.

And today I'm chatting with Emily Freeman.

Now Emily is the author of several books, Grace for the Good Girl, Graceful, a young

ladies version of helping her get rid of the try hard life, a million little ways, a

conversation about creativity, and her latest book is releasing August 18th.

It's called Simply Tuesday.

And today she's sharing the story behind that.

It's more than just talking about a day of the week, if you can imagine.

It's just kind of an entire idea.

And I love what you just shared in that intro I had about the inside.

What's going on on the inside?

Because we may not be able to change the activity around us and just sit all day.
