I'm Emily P. Freeman and welcome to The Next Right Thing. You're listening to episode 177.

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 the

sometimes delightful but also distracting hum of entertainment, you're in the right place

for a thoughtful story, a little prayer, and a simple next right step. But first, a word from this

episode's sponsor, Ritual. I love a good origin story. So when I learned that Kat Schneider founded ritual because she wanted a better option for herself as a new mother and a way to combine both the analytical and creative sides of her brain, I was fascinated.

Her result? A multivitamin that's clean, vegan friendly, and made up of high quality nutrients that your body can put to work right away. And there are no

added sugars, GMOs, synthetic filters, or artificial color. I personally love that the capsules are

delayed release and essence with mint, so the whole experience feels fresh and lovely. Plus,

ritual is committed to a visible supply chain, so you know exactly what you're taking and where it

comes from. Ritual is the multivitamin reimagined, and they've made it easy to integrate into your routine.

My ritual essentials for women are delivered to my door every month with free shipping,

and I love that they offer the option to snooze or cancel subscriptions whenever you want.

Right now, you can try out ritual vitamins with me and get 10% off your first three months. And if you don't love it,

within your first 30 days, their helpful customer service team will refund your first month.
