294: Standing at the Threshold with Lowland Hum
Today I'm talking with not one, but two guests. From their rural homestead in Charlottesville, Virginia, it's husband and wife duo Daniel and Lauren Goans, known as Lowland Hum. With the release of their brand new album From Self, With Love, this seemed like the perfect time to have them on the podcast to talk about some of the key decisions they've made along their way. Listen in.

293: Making Decisions When Feelings Are Big
Our emotions and feelings can take up a lot of space at the table. There may have been times we've gotten in trouble for them, either because we've shared too much and regretted it later, or we've been scolded or blamed for being too sensitive or too much or too something. That's when we've tended to label our feelings as not okay. But this is not the only story there is.
How do our feelings impact our ability to make wise decisions and what good role can they play? Listen in.

Customer Reviews
Well now I’m crying
I’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.
The 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!
Safe landing space
Emily 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.
