This is a review for How to Walk into a Room: The Art of Knowing When to Stay and When to Walk Away by Emily P. Freeman. In this season where we focus on transitions, this book provides a coach, guiding questions, appropriate anecdotes, and thought-provoking perspectives. Entering and exiting are the modes of our life. We are always moving in one of these directions. Where Emily P. Freeman applies pressure and places significance is the how. How we enter and exit rooms matter. This is a faith-driven book for everyone. There are explicit references to God for believers in Jesus Christ. But if you are not a person of faith, there is much to be gained for personal reflection, growth, and practice. If you have read this book, leave a comment with how it helped you. If you have not read this book, consider adding it to your library. Lead well, read well.
Sometimes, navigating our next steps can be complicated, and discernment is not always easy. Approaching problems from a different perspective can help us to gain clarity on a situation and when done so with intention, can become a sacred journey of self-discovery. Through discernment, we listen to the desires of the soul, allowing them to guide us toward choices that resonate with our authentic selves. This inner listening is crucial for identifying our true needs and values, ensuring that our next steps are not merely practical but deeply aligned with our core being, ultimately honoring the integrity of our whole self. To guide us through navigating decisions and discerning the next steps of our journey, Harvesting Happiness Podcast host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with a Wall Street Journal best-selling author of six books and podcast host, Emily P. Freeman. Emily describes the journey of discernment that allows our inner guidance system to separate our decision-making process from external influences. She offers a transformative practice that allows us to honor ourselves, slow down the assessment process, and weed out red flags.WANT MORE SOUND IDEAS FOR DEEPER THINKING?

It's January, the perfect month to pivot the podcast in a slightly different direction. I'm excited to share this first episode of 2025, when I'm expanding my focus to offer encouragement and support across the board...to family caregivers AND anyone who could use gentle reminders about self-care, faith formation and maintaining a posture of gratitude, especially when life is messy. What's been your approach to a new year? Do you make New Year's resolutions? Researchers say most resolutions don't last four months. Consider this idea. What if we use the entire month of January to do these 3 things? The first is to practice solitude. The second is to spend a little extra time in prayer, Bible study, and reflection. Third is a specific reflective exercise offered by one of my favorite authors, Emily P. Freeman. She suggests January is an excellent time to reflect on something we want, something we need, and something we hope for in the New Year. I share an example to get your wheels turning on this suggestion. I used to loathe the cold, gray days of winter after the holidays. Now I see the wisdom and purpose in God's gift of January. This episode focuses there. Blessings on your January!

It's a brand new season of the show and we are thrilled to have Amy Hardin, Jen's longtime friend, join us on the podcast for a whole new adventure in laughing at ourselves and learning from our incredible guests. The Lazy Genius herself, Kendra Adachi, joins Jen and Amy today to challenge our culture's obsession with productivity and time management. Kendra offers a revolutionary perspective: the problem isn't you — it's the capitalistic, patriarchal culture we've all been raised in. Kendra unpacks why traditional productivity advice often fails women and shares a more compassionate approach for managing busy lives. Whether you're drowning in laundry, juggling work and family, or simply craving a kinder way to approach your days, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, encouraged, and equipped with practical strategies. Discover how to: Shift your mindset from pursuing 'greatness' to embracing contentment Take small, sustainable steps instead of attempting drastic overhauls Adapt your systems to fit your unique life and needs Find freedom from rigid to-do lists and unrealistic expectations Don't miss Kendra's sneak peek into her upcoming book 'The Plan' - it just might change your life! * * * Thought-Provoking Quotes: "I thought I just had to try harder or give up. And those are not the only two options, everybody. There's a wide middle between ‘try hard' and ‘give up.' And so that's when I pivoted my online writing to this space to the Lazy Genius Ecosystem, as you called it, which is, 'let's be a genius about the things that matter and lazy about the things that don't. And everyone gets to choose what those things are.'" - Kendra Adachi "I think that we forget that the paradigm that we all live under in a Western, capitalistic, patriarchal society is not one that supports what I'm talking about in many ways. And so, it's hard to do. It's very, very hard because the waters that we live in really do not support this kind of idea. So the problem is not you is what I'm saying. The problem is not you." - Kendra Adachi "Your to-do list is not the boss of you. It's a tool." - Kendra Adachi “93% of time management productivity books are written by men.” - Kendra Adachi Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Feed These People by Jen Hatmaker - https://shop.jenhatmaker.com/products/ftp-book The Lazy Genius Podcast - https://bit.ly/4drs4WB The Lazy Genius Way - https://www.thelazygeniuscollective.com/way For the Love Podcast ft.

Welcome back! We are in a mini-series of two shows. These are my favorite shows where I get to bring you the best of the best around a certain topic. Today we're talking about how to make decisions and discern God's nudges. I'm bringing you some brilliant friends with lightbulb moments and action steps for us. Today we have - Emily P. Freeman, Andi Andrew, Havilah Cunnington, and Shauna Nieqiest. We're diving into everything from making big decisions, and navigating change well, to hearing God, and how to find your unique way. I'm not here to brag, but it's a killer “best of” kind of show today! Join us as we learn about: Making big decisions with Emily P. Freeman Navigating grief that comes with change with Andi Andrew Hearing God's voice with Havilah Cunnington Finding our next self as life is changing with Shauna Niequist Favorite quotes: 4:31 - Emily - “Just because it is not the right room for me anymore doesn't mean I chose wrong in the first place and doesn't mean I made a big mistake. It just means I am growing, and changing, and life is different now.” 9:20 - Emily - “Recognizing when you don't feel a peace now means it is time to get curious. Sometimes we assume every flag is a red flag but sometimes a flag is just a flag or a yellow flag and it means slow down.” 13:23 - Andi - “There is a reason why the mourning process in the Bible was so wild and why they would put sackcloth and ashes and wail and mourn. They knew they needed to move it out of their bodies so that they could move forward in life.” 20:42 - Havilah - “The hardest person to hear God for is yourself because you have ulterior motives, desires, and a bad filter.” 23:15 - Havilah - “We want to hear God's voice because you can't have a relationship without His voice.” 30:47- Shauna - “If you feel overwhelmed by the mess that your life has become, don't try to go through that alone. Definitely a trained professional therapist is a major gift in that season.” Links to great things we discussed: Emily P. Freeman Website Emily P.

In this episode, Layci and Mary discuss the challenges of leadership and the importance of making clear decisions. They reference the book 'How to Walk into a Room' by Emily P. Freeman, which explores the art of knowing when to stay and when to walk away. They emphasize the need for leaders to be well-differentiated, with clarity about their core values and the ability to manage their own emotions. They discuss the fine line between creating a safe space for employees and becoming a peacemonger, and offer tips for leaders to maintain clarity and handle conflict effectively.

If life were a house, then every room holds a story. What do we do when a room we're in is no longer a room where we belong? What do you do when you start to feel a shift and must decide if it's time to make a change? When it comes to navigating big decisions about when to stay and go, how can we know for sure when the time is right? Though we enter and exit many rooms over the course of our life—jobs, relationships, communities, life stages—knowing how and when it's time to leave is a decision that rarely has a clear answer. My guest today, Emily P. Freeman, offers guidance to help us recognize when it's time to move on from situations that no longer fit, allowing us to find new spaces where we can flourish and grow. Emily P. Freeman is the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of five books, including The Next Right Thing: A Simple, Soulful Practice for Making Life Decisions. As a spiritual director, workshop leader, and host of The Next Right Thing podcast, her most important work is to help create soul space and offer spiritual companionship and discernment for anyone struggling with decision fatigue. Emily holds a master's degree in spiritual formation and leadership from Friends University. She lives in North Carolina with her family. _________________________________________________Follow Gem on Instagram and grab a copy of her new book Hold That Thought.

There is an intricate dance between the difficulty of making changes in our lives and a profound trust in God to guide us through. When we have to make the decision to leave something behind and start anew, there is an emotional toll and a fear of the unknown. However, there is much to be learned from endings and new beginnings, and how sometimes we end up finding peace in the midst of our turmoil. Emily P. Freeman is a spiritual director and author who hosts The Next Right Thing Podcast. Emily shares practical thoughts on how to navigate change, taken from her new book, How to Walk Into A Room: The Art of Knowing When to Stay and When to Walk Away. Stephanie May Wilson is a Tedx speaker, author, and podcaster who speaks to young adults who are facing crucial years where they will make some of their biggest life's decisions, and advises them on how they can faithfully move forward by trusting God with their questions and their fears.

Freeman “In reality, there is both beautiful and terrible in probably every space that we're in. And so if we decide to walk away, I think it's so good to do it with our eyes wide open, not just at the hesitations, but also to the gifts, so that we're having a truer experience of not only the room, but also our leaving of it.” - Emily P. Freeman “I truly believe God is always aware of us, that God is fully love and fully attentive and and God will not let us miss our own future. Which means that as I make my decisions, I'm not making them in a room by myself.” - Emily P. Freeman “Even if I make a move in a direction that turns out terrible and I learn something from it, God was still with me. And in that move, I am becoming someone. Because what is infinitely more important than the decision that I make, ultimately, is the person who I am becoming as I make my decisions.” - Emily P. Freeman “True peace is not the absence of discomfort or conflict, but it is an inner brokenness and an inner wholeness and an inner knowing that even though chaos may be all around me, I can still be aligned with what I know and who I am, I can live in congruence with my own core values, with my true identity, with the common good, with my life and God.” - Emily P. Freeman “The ‘everything era' really is this super tricky period of time where a bunch of different forces are pushing and pulling us in different directions, and where I think it leaves us constantly feeling like we're falling short and falling behind.” - Stephanie May Wilson “I don't know that I knew that I got to participate in my life. I felt like there was one exact right way to do it, and I had to figure it out. And if I couldn't figure it out, then I was going to mess it all up. And I think that that's a really big lie that I had to combat.” - Stephanie May Wilson “I started to learn that a beautiful life isn't one size fits all, and that there are a whole bunch of different ways that life can be lived, that are all right and beautiful and good and God-approved.” - Stephanie May Wilson ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

We are driven by our values. Sometimes however, our values change, or we find ourselves in a place where it's hard to live out our values. So we think about change. Which requires decisions. And boom. A crossroads. The comfort and security of where we are and what is known, and the fear of the unknown. It's a big deal. However, I've got really hopeful news for you. A resource if you will. How would you like a manual for how to make it as easy and secure as possible? Emily P. Freeman is the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of five books, including The Next Right Thing: A Simple Soulful Practice for Making Life Decisions. This book became so popular that Emily now has a nationally ranked podcast of the same name, The Next Right Thing, which already has more than 24 million downloads. Emily regularly offers perspective and clarity for more than 120K followers on Instagram. After doing the research to masterfully address decision making, Emily has turned her focus to making change. Her new book is How to Walk into a Room: The Art of Knowing When to Stay and When to Walk Away. We went really, really deep into the real and perceived risks of change. Then we spent nearly half our time together walking through 10 questions Emily has masterfully outlined to help us discern if a change is truly wise and fitting. We even hit on personality styles and talk about those who change is easier for, but that those who struggle more with change often actually do it more successfully. As you'll hear, I'm the former, for the record. I've never experienced a more clear and concise plan for taking so much of the fear and risk out of big decisions and changes and I won't address it again the same way. So next up, Emily P Freeman and a deep discussion to help us all with big decision and change to help equip us to drive more authentically and efficiently through the ups, downs, lefts and rights of life.

Did you know that going to get a hair cut can make you look years younger? And it apparently has absolutely nothing to do with the haircut at all. Listen as I explain the magic of how this happens. https://www.youbeauty.com/beauty/psychology-of-hair/ There are times in everyone's life when you have to decide to stay or go. Whether it is a job, a friendship, a romance, where you live – there are all kinds of situations where we have to choose to stay where we are or make a change. But how do you make that kind of decision? Maybe something doesn't feel right in the present but that doesn't mean you should bail out completely – or does it? Here to discuss this with me is Emily P. Freeman. She is host of the podcast The Next Right Thing (https://emilypfreeman.com/podcast/) and she is author of 5 books. Her latest is called How to Walk into a Room: The Art of Knowing When to Stay and When to Walk Away (https://amzn.to/43a6d1p). A lot of songs become hits. But once in a while, a song comes along that is not only a hit but also helped to shape rock & roll. “Good Vibrations” by The Beach Boys, “Rocket Man” by Elton John, “What a Fool Believes” by The Doobie Brothers are just a few of those songs that fall into that category, and are some of the songs we are going to discuss with Marc Myers. Marc is regular contributor to the Wall Street Journal, where he writes about music and the arts. He is also author of the critically acclaimed books Anatomy of a Song, Why Jazz Happened, and Rock Concert and his latest book is called Anatomy of 55 More Songs: The Oral History of Top Hits That Changed Rock, Pop and Soul (https://amzn.to/3TrynC4) In the attempt to get you to buy things, retailers try to appeal to your senses – ALL your senses, including your sense of smell.

How do you decide when it's time to leave a place or a relationship behind? We have to make decisions all the time. Yet most of us struggle with it. It's hard to leave something (or someone) behind. It's also hard to give ourselves the time that we need to wrestle with the decision. When you don't have a process, you might be tempted to avoid decision-making. Or you might rush too quickly into a decision that isn't quite right. That's why I'm thrilled to have this conversation with Emily P. Freeman this week. It's such a rich conversation about how to discern when it's time to walk away and what to do when it's time to enter into a new space. Here's what we cover: 1. The truth about tiny red flags (11:29) 2. 4 crucial questions to ask yourself (13:40) 3. What to do with those 51/49 decisions (20:13) 4. Readiness vs. timeliness in decision making (21:30) 5. Emily's decision process for leaving a church (25:26) 6. How to walk into a new space (33:28) 7.

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls' Night! Today we're talking about how to know if it's time for us to stay or time for us to go. I love this topic, because if you're anything like me, this is a question you've come to over and over again throughout your life. Should you stay in the relationship, or is it time to go? What about the job? What about your hometown? What about this new opportunity you didn't see coming, but now can't stop thinking about? These moments are so intimidating, because in a lot of ways, it feels like the fate of our future hangs in the balance. It feels like with one little decision, we might just ruin everything. Or maybe that's just me. I couldn't think of a better person to walk us through this than my dear friend, Emily P Freeman! Emily is someone I have looked up to for years and years. She's an author, podcaster, spiritual director and workshop leader. Her most important work is helping to create soul space and offering spiritual companionship and discernment for anyone struggling with decision fatigue. She recently wrote a new book called, How to Walk into a Room: The Art of Knowing When to Stay and When to Walk Away, and that's what we're talking about today! In this episode, Emily is teaching us what caution flags to look for when we feel like it's time to make a change, how to know the difference between readiness and timeliness, how to move forward after leaving something behind, why the right decision doesn't always feel comfortable, and so much more! This conversation felt like the biggest hug and was truly so encouraging. So grab your coziest blanket and your favorite notebook and let's dive in! Learn more about your ad choices.

As a spiritual director, workshop leader, and host of The Next Right Thing podcast, her most important work is to help create soul space and offer spiritual companionship and discernment for anyone struggling with decision fatigue. Emily's new book, How to Walk Into a Room, is about knowing when to stick with a situation and when it's time to move on. It's a guide for living a life where you thrive, not just get by. Let's dive in! Join Emily and I as we talk about: (11:50 audio )The difference between readiness and timeliness, finding clarity for when it's time to go, but you don't feel ready (13:00 audio) Questions to ask when discerning if it is time to stay or go (17:05 audio) Using the point-and-call system for clarity (22:49 audio) Discerning the difference between true peace and discomfort avoidance (27:00 audio) Walking out of a room and into something new (31:50) Being your own friend Favorite quotes: (8:04) - “There are a lot of us who have found ourselves in a lot of rooms. Many of those rooms we have prayed for, longed for, and fought really hard to get into. And then something shifts. Maybe something shifts in the room or something shifts in us. It doesn't have to mean something went wrong. It just means something has changed or is changing.” (12:10) - “A lot of the tension we have when it comes to deciding to leave or stay it's because readiness and timeliness don't line up. So we have to make decisions the best we can with the information we currently have with where we are right now about what is my next right thing here.” (15:57) - “Just because it is not the right room for me anymore doesn't mean I chose wrong in the first place and doesn't mean I made a big mistake. It just means I am growing, and changing, and life is different now.” (21:59) - “When you leave a room you don't walk into nothing. Something new is always waiting. And you don't walk alone, God always goes with you.” (22:22) - “It can be so scary to change your mind, to change your place, or change your way of being in a space but it is a healthy human rhythm.” Coaching this week: Taking Risks (34:06) This week, I urge you to take action on your dreams and goals because staying stagnant is the true risk in life. Don't be afraid of failure; use it as a stepping stone and keep pushing forward to live a full and vibrant life. Links to great things we discussed: Emily P. Freeman Website Emily P.

This week, Merideth offers a self-coaching exercise to help you create your path. 1. Name what's on your mind before we begin: Is there a fork in the road you see coming around the bend? Is there a question you've been asking yourself about your creative practice or life that you want to explore with gentleness and grace? Or take a cue from Emily P. Freeman, in her new book, "How to Walk Into a Room," and ask, "What are the primary rooms of my life right now?" Spend some time naming whatever comes up. 2. Choose one line of inquiry to explore in this creative reflection session. Write the question down on a sticky note or note card and put it somewhere you can see it while creating. 3. Create in whatever medium sounds fun. You are not necessarily setting out to answer the question you're holding; you are just creating and reflecting alongside this inquiry. Let your mind wander, and invite whatever thoughts that show up move through. Set a timer for half an hour or more if you can spare it. 4. When you finish this session, look at the question again. What came up? Pretend your very best friend wrote that question. What would you like to tell that friend now? How did the creative process help you hold space for the uncertainties and complexities of your life? 5. Email Merideth at hello@artistsforjoy.org or post your creation on IG and tag @artistsforjoy

How to Walk into a Room: The Art of Knowing When to Stay and When to Walk Away by Emily P. Freeman https://amzn.to/3P1EiuU If life were a house, then every room holds a story. What do we do when a room we're in is no longer a room where we belong? What do you do when you start to feel a shift and must decide if it's time to make a change? When it comes to navigating big decisions about when to stay and go, how can we know for sure when the time is right? Though we enter and exit many rooms over the course of our life—jobs, relationships, communities, life stages—knowing how and when it's time to leave is a decision that rarely has a clear answer. Podcast host, spiritual director, and bestselling author of The Next Right Thing, Emily P. Freeman offers guidance to help us recognize when it's time to move on from situations that no longer fit, allowing us to find new spaces where we can flourish and grow. How to Walk Into a Room helps us begin to uncover the silent, nuanced, and hidden arrows for anyone asking questions like: How do I know if it's time to move on? What if I stay and nothing changes? What if I leave and everything falls apart? Through thought-provoking questions, spiritual practices, and personal stories, How to Walk into a Room will help you to know and name the caution flags in your current spaces, discern the difference between true peace and discomfort avoidance, navigate endings even when there is no closure, find peace for when you feel ready but it isn't time, and courage for when it's time but you don't feel ready. For anyone standing in a threshold, here's a book to help discern the how, when, and what now of walking out of rooms and into new ones with peace, confidence, and a whole heart. About the author Emily P. Freeman is the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of five books, including The Next Right Thing: A Simple, Soulful Practice for Making Life Decisions. As a spiritual director, workshop leader, and host of The Next Right Thing podcast, her most important work is to help create soul space and offer spiritual companionship and discernment for anyone struggling with decision fatigue.

I share the ONE thing that I want impart to others, and I'm joined by more than a dozen past guests of 10 Things To Tell You sharing their ONE thing. Thanks for being here.
