KelsListensQuestions to Ask? Yes, Please!Thank you, Emily, for saving the day once again. Direction, redirection, focus, refocus? Who doesn’t need that? Thank you. (Did I say thank you?)

kimberlyreedoPeaceful!Love this podcast. I will be going back and listening to older episodes during Emily’s break. Thank you for what you do!

Michelle the Change ArchitectMindfulness for the momentsEmily brings you to the present with grace, kindness, and action. Her words are inspirational, stories are REAL, and change is the necessary and needed action.

KristaRose135Practical and peacefulI’ve loved listening to Emily’s podcast and I’m half way through her new book. She points to peace amidst uncertainty in changing times and making decisions. I love the practical aspects she and her guests bring while reminding me to slow down, that things will be ok in the end. 100% Recommend!

Crowing HenWin—winEmily Freeman as host and Parker J Palmer as guest equals a great conversation ! Just dear people in a wonderful discussion about life and living the process instead of living the product.

Fan from HickoryVocation Clarity with Parker PalmerWith your book launch you have managed to add the icing on the cake by inviting handpicked guests into your room. Your gift to listen & ask such thoughtful questions allows their souls to shine. Certainly my favorite thus far was with Parker Palmer. As someone in her seventies, I hope to remain curious how to serve in this “older room” when the body, mind & spirit aren’t quite as energetic as in days past. Thank you for your podcast & your new book which arrived at my door just in time to kick off spring in the foothills of North Carolina. Fan Smith

Tuckaway25UnsubscribingHave previously enjoyed Emily’s perspective and felt she was open and unbiased. Recent episode with Sharon McMahon was disappointing and reflects a concerning new direction for the podcast.
-
DolwA podcast with a great vibeEmily, thank you for bringing this podcast to us. I love the decision making aspects which is greatly appreciated by this less than decisive person. However even more is the way Emily speaks, her calm demeanor, and the faithful portions are my favorite parts. Thank you for this podcast. One of my favorites.

magrestSlow Down and Be PresentEmily has developed such a nice and doable process to help one reflect, consider, and then pursue life decisions big and small. We just need to be willing to “take the time” to sit and do that. While it is a challenge to do so, it is SO worth it. Life doesn’t want us to slow down, but we need to if we really are seeking a meaningful life journey. Thank you Emily for a resource to help us achieve that.

AshleySt0neNot very goodThis podcast was recommended by a friend. It is honestly one of the worst podcasts I’ve ever heard. I struggled to get through the How to know what you want episode. She repeats herself and it takes forever to get to the point.
-
Another JillAn absolute mustWhile I would not describe myself as one prone to waffling during decision making - so much of what Emily talks about resonates with me. If I could only listen to one podcast - this would be the one.
-
rebeccalynn773Simply the bestAlways excited for a new episode to drop. And always listen asap.
-
thechriswoodBrings peaceOut of Al the things in our brains, Emily helps us quite the craziness and determine just the next right thing.
-
168lifeMy must-listen every weekI anticipate and treasure each weekly release. I love Emily’s insights, and it has felt like a growing friendship with a person I will (most likely) never meet. Emily, your words matter. We’re growing alongside you.

abbymfoxSpace for My SoulI found this podcast years ago while huddled in a small storage room at work. I had just had a baby and this small space is where I would retreat to pump and listen to something short for entertainment. Little did I know that the rooms and situations would change over the years, but I would keep coming back because these 10-12 minute audio recordings created space for my soul to question and wonder and grow. Thank you for entertaining us with your thoughtful stories and reflections, which illuminate the path in front of each of us. Even just a little bit.
-
Emotionally Healthy LegacyWhat a wonderful Podcast!Emily, thank you so much for a wonderful show and for your commitment showing up for many years. You have such great valuable content here that is so helpful for anyone, especially Christians wanting to do The Next Right Thing! My favorite episode is 276. Why self-care isn’t selfish. Love that conversation! -Elizabeth

KristalJoyBreath of fresh airOne of the most refreshing podcast’s I have listened to. I look forward to listening every time there’s a new one.
-
MargLCSWThanksThank you for your work and helping me put words to things I haven’t known how to articulate!

mihrllecToo long and drawn outHow did this podcast get such great reviews? Listening to episode with interview with the couple who make music together..could it have been more drawn out? On and on about how they met and who said what..kept looking at timer to see when they would get to something of value to the listener. I feel like podcasters need to be aware of the time they are wasting in their episodes.
-
KjjjhjjhWell now I’m cryingI’ve been feeling the heaviness of a new season and confusion at how to move forward. I was using my next right thing journal and a list of episodes was recommended. Listening now and it’s balm to my soul.
-
MillieSCThe BEST Podcast Ever!Episode 289, How to Get Relief from Information Overload, is easily my favorite episode, primarily because it’s so practical, so timely for me now as I try stepping away from my smartphone, and because of the well formulated questions and statements by Emily. I especially like the invitation to check social to determine what I’ve been seeking lately based on who I am following and to set boundaries on when and where I will check or not check my phone. After following this podcast for several years, it continues to be my favorite. Thanks to Emily for using her gifts and talents so well and for being so incredibly organized…the links and show notes are invaluable!
-
jerzygurl64Safe landing spaceEmily has been one of the few influential voices in my life for the past few years. She is a safe and familiar landing place when you need a literal rest. I love the Psalm Summers the seasonal recaps or just a nugget to keep in my minds rotation.

Alethia70The Next Right ThingLOVE THIS podcast..no podcast and author has been a more powerful voice in my life in the last few years

REWind516Great Nugget for the WeekEmily P. Freeman has become a parasocial friend of mine. She’s kind, thoughtful, and honest. Her episodes range from five minute contemplative moments to 45 minute raw interviews. I love how she encourages and provides ways to bring the Lord into your daily life and the decisions you have to make within it.

9676KatPeaceful WisdomI’m sorry that it has taken me so long to write a review. I found the podcast after I read the book. I started at episode 1, so I am not completely up to date. I do get the advantage of listening to a new (to me) episode on my daily commute. Emily is relatable, kind, and shares wisdom in a very peaceful and calming way. I highly recommend giving it a listen!
-
effdeeWMy comfort listenI love hearing Emily’s voice and wisdom each week 💕
-
cancel tik tokA calming and helpful voiceThis podcast always helps center me and gets me thinking in different but good ways. Plus, Emily’s voice is very soothing!
-
StephywedsMy go to podcast!I have listened to these podcasts weekly as they come into my inbox. This podcast is helping to deepen my faith and discernment process as I make important career and life decisions. Thank you Emily for your guidance and important work!
-
Anon1234735987Always helpful and encouraging!This is the one weekly podcast I never miss! Emily always has a quick, calming message to share that points me towards myself and towards God. The podcast has helped me through a job change, relational turmoil, raising teenagers, and sending one off to college. I started at episode 1 in 2018 , quickly caught up, and haven’t missed one yet.
-
Adrianne CarnesOne of the BEST podcasts!This podcast is one that I am excited to listen to each week, as new episodes release. Emily’s voice is gentle and her words tender. She can share advice about a daily routine or about Spiritual Direction and her advice is so helpful. She’s wise and brilliant. The world benefits from what Emily shares.

FiddlinGalLiberalI used to like this podcast and now I just feel like the people are so liberal. The guests say offensive things assuming we are all on their political side and I for one am not. There are conservative people who want to grow in their relationship with God, too. On the most recent episode I had to listen to a guy refer to God as “it” or “they” and tell me I was offended because I listen to media propaganda. I don’t think so. Never listening again!
-
lynndarSometimes…..Sometimes - I just reach out for Emily’s words, her wisdom, and the calming cadence of her voice. Sometimes- It gives me peace, the simple sense that I’m ok, all will be well, and God is aware. Sometimes - It’s all I need

vgiamancoUplifting transformationJesus draws us to repentance by loving us perfectly. This podcast is similar. The Next Right Thing makes me feel warm and loved while also encouraging me to transform and move forward. This podcast is perfect to listen to when I’m feeling a little down, a little lonely, a little scared, a little nervous, a little bored, a little uninspired… all the feelings. Thank you!!!
-
Rmogollon100This Pod is your next right thingEmily’s words are like a big exhale out with the old and deep inhale in with one next right thing to consider . Truly a reprive from the ‘constant stream of information’ a space for the soul to pause, hear a thoughtful anecdote and consider one nugget of truth. Contemplative, and just enough wisdom to consume without feeling overwhelmed, Emily helps guide the listener to self reflect through these episodes. Love the podcast
-
LauragvlscI don’t have trouble making decisions, but…I love Emily’s voice (literally and figuratively) and the solid questions she asks. Whenever a new episode comes out I am so excited to listen… a little refuge from day-to-day hustle. It’s so peaceful and helpful!
-
BreeHillExactly what I needThe Next Right Thing is best listened to in the quiets of morning as I’m making breakfast for my children before they roll out of bed to get their day started, or as I’m washing my face and brushing my teeth before bed-my night time routine. Emily’s podcast is the only podcast I listen to and pause constantly to crack open my journal and take notes or jot something she said down. She’s become the girlfriend who hits me where it hurts and says exactly what I need to hear.

LPinkansasGoosebumpsAlmost every time, I get goosebumps if not a tear. Podcasts are my partial flavor of media consumption and this. Is by far my favorite. From reading of the Word to borrowed prayers to the gentle music that frames each episode. Do yourself a favor and... “Listen in”.
-
CynthlouwhoAll of her podcastsAll are so helpful and her opinion is never judge mental or critical…. So gracious and real just like her voice!!❤️Cynthlouwho

Sher SutherlandE224: Two of my favorites togetherI listen to both Emily and Kendra (The Lazy Genius). I knew they were good friends but Episode 224 brought it home. It was just the best ever. A real heart-warmer AND a reminder that good friends are forever precious and special. Thank you Emily and Kendra for giving us an inside peek at what a beautiful friendship looks like with the added bonus of some Lazy Genius Kitchen tips! You’re both great on your own podcasts and dynamite together. My Next Right Thing was to share the link to this episode with my precious circle of friends.
-
jesterladyWonderful listen. Definitely subscribe.Emily is the best. It’s so simple, so wise, and so easy to listen.

FlowersMakeMeSmile00Making space for my soul to breatheThis podcast showed up in my “suggested for you” list for a long time before I started listening. I guess I had never heard the phrase “The Next right thing”. I’m so glad I finally gave it a try. It’s been such a “just right” for right now thing that I’ve started listening from the very beginning. I appreciate the questions for reflection. Knowing that those transcripts are there means I can be more present as I listen and do any writing I might want to do afterwards by going back to the transcripts. I love the short psalm reading episodes. I sent some to a friend preparing for surgery. They were just right. (More please!). Thank you for episode on naming a posture for this season. It helped me receive permission to be kind to myself in this season.
