284: Consistency, Morning Routines, and A Word for the Year with Emily Ley (Replay)

About this episode

The episode features a conversation with Emily Ley about creating a word for the year and establishing a grace-filled morning routine.

Today's episode is starting with a mini solo episode and continuing with a conversation that I am honored to re-share with Emily Ley. She wrote a devotional book titled Sure as the Sunrise in 2022, and in today's episode, we focus in on the idea of creating a word for the year along with how to create a grace filled morning routine that will work for whatever your life looks like right now. This conversation was so encouraging and comes at the perfect time of year as we are looking towards the fresh start of the new year, but I hope this episode reminds you that any day can be a fresh start.
