The Happy Hour #368: Emily Lex

My guest for The Happy Hour #368 is Emily Lex. Emily is a talented artist and passionate about sharing truth. Her first book, Freely & Lightly: God’s Gracious Invitation to a Life of Quiet Confidence, releases on March 2nd and it is absolutely filled with beautiful words of encouragement.

Emily is a long-time friend and has probably been on The Happy Hour more than any other person! Time really stops when we’re chatting and I love how easily our conversations flow. In this episode, we reminisce about our first happy hour lives and embarrassing moments, and what it’s looked like for her to overcome people pleasing tendencies. Emily also dives into the challenge of having to pivot her business and how her change of interests affected her brand. She talks about how sometimes we do things that we were never meant to do, and how she came to a point of having to block everything out and just focus on God. I love when she says, “It required risk and obedience, but what it did was put my soul at rest which is really what I was after. And that’s what I think obedience will do.” I LOVE that. Sometimes things in life are a risk and the journey to get there is hard, but God truly honors our obedience. PLEASE pick up a copy of her book Freely & Lightly – you will not regret it.
