Inviting Calm into Your Life and Home: Emily P. Freeman and Myquillyn Smith

In our ongoing quest to squash the chaos in our lives, we’re talking to two experts (who are in fact sisters) who literally help us create space for our souls and our homes to breathe. Emily P. Freeman hosts the Do the Next Right Thing podcast where listeners flock to hear her soothing voice guide them with small ways to achieve mental clarity and avoid analysis paralysis when making decisions. Her sister, Myquillyn Smith, better known as The Nester, has the superpower of helping us create peace in the physical places we live with smart solutions that tweak our spaces to bring us calm-because when our homes feel out of control, our inner chaos rises as well.
Highlights from this discussion with Jen, Emily, and Myquillyn include:
• How Emily and Myquillyn played with their Barbies as young girls was indicative of the roads they chose later in life
• How sometimes the things that we are influenced to purchase to help us conquer chaos can become triggers for chaos (ie: THE BASKET PEOPLE)
• How to not get bogged down with the pressure to plan your whole life, and how looking at past decisions can inform the decisions you make in the future
• What it means to “quiet a room” in order to bring calm to your living spaces
Join Jen, Emily, and Myquillyn as we all seek a little refreshment for our lives and homes.

Getting off all social media, except RUclips has been freeing!! Declutters my mind!

For the past 2 months, I have been taking 2 bags/boxes a week to the Thrift shop for donation. Feels so good to declutter and bless others. I had way too much decor/knickknacks. 🎉🎉🎉

You won’t miss it. I’m cautious about anything I bring into my home. I always ask myself if I’m going to enjoy it years from now and do I really want to dust around it.
