Spiritual Direction, Reflection, and Practices to Find Your Next Right Thing for the New Year with Emily P. Freeman- Episode 1021
That Sounds Fun with Annie F. Downs
What Sounds Fun: Thrifting Joy
Emily shares thrifting and Goodwill shopping as a source of delight and sustainable joy right now.
If your head’s starting to spin as you think about this year as a whole and turning the page to 2026, just hang on. We’re going to help take off the pressure to figure out and reflect on the whole year by the end of this month. It’s a process and we’re going to start by answering the question, “How do I find the next right thing for next year?”
Today I get to talk to my friend and America’s favorite Spiritual Director, Emily P. Freeman. This is her 5th time here on That Sounds Fun which means she’s officially a member of the Hall of Fun. Today’s she helping us figure out:
- How we take the pressure off of January to have our whole year solved
- What steps we can take (and questions we can ask) to help us figure out how to process the season
- The practice of caring without carrying
- And the practice of releasing something everyday
As you walk through Advent, you also will love her Advent Collection. You can find that on her Quiet Collection App!
You’re going to need your notes for this one, so grab your TSF Seasons Guidebook, we’re on page 128.
