Episode 303: Emily P. Freeman
I am so happy to welcome Emily P. Freeman to the show. Emily is the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of five books and host of The Next Right Thing podcast. Emily just has a way about her that can make you feel seen, heard and at ease.
Many of us have experienced a lot of change in the last few years. And sometimes, we are left feeling uncertain and unsure on where we are or where we go next or even how to process what happened before. I asked Emily to join me on the show because she published a book titled How to Walk into a Room and it really is such a helpful guide to to navigate this.
In this episode, we talk about the metaphor of the rooms we experience, how to know when to leave a room, what to do when you need closure, and how to walk into a room—especially when it comes to making your own decision and not by people pleasing. This is a thoughtful conversation, full of insight. I think you are really going to benefit from it.

Takeaways:
The phrase “for now” is helpful when you are in a room that you are ready to leave, but can’t.
Pay attention to how decisions about rooms informs your identity. What story are you telling yourself about a room you are in, leaving or walking into?
Closure is often a luxury. Instead, let’s look for ways to show completion in something.
