Today’s episode is a bit of a different episode. While we typically host other women running on mission on the podcast, today, our very own Jess Connolly is reading us a chapter of her brand new book, Breaking Free From Body Shame. Listen in for Chapter 3: Renaming What The World Has Labeled Less Than.
Breaking Free From Body Shame is available for preorder now - the physical copy or the audiobook, and we’re counting down the days until the June 22, 2021 release. When you preorder one copy of the book, you get to join the Good Body Gals community, and two copies gets you the Body Shame Detox for free. For all the details and to claim your preorder bonuses, head to jessconnolly.com.
We hope that this sneak peek into the book encourages you today. We are praying that God would help you to rename what the world might have mislabeled. Your body is good.
If you need a friend to talk to, a shoulder to lean on, someone to throw prayers up to the God that loves you, or anything else, team Go + Tell Gals wants to be your gal. You can reach us by emailing podcast@goandtellgals.com, and we would love to help however we can.

All of us are feeling a little funky about our season. The women we know with different lives seem to have more margin, joy, money, community, or more of something. Maybe we dreamed or craved the season we’re in or never saw it coming. Either way - it’s easy for all of us to feel stuck, isolated, and confused about how we got here. We’re wondering - where is the abundance in THIS part of life? What is great about it? And how do we enjoy the days we’re in and not just wish them back when they’re over? 


This summer, Jess has a personal dream and desire to help women SEIZE THEIR SEASON. In this episode, Jess tells us what that could look like.

Episode 41: Seize Your Season

We live in a culture that is obsessed with youth. We want to look young, stay young, feel young, but why? Is it that we’re scared of dying? Is it all about aesthetics? Maybe some of it is beautiful because we want to embrace abundance, vibrance, and excitement? We have been loving having our Go and Tell Gals team on the Podcast, and this week, our friend Nicci Morelli is joining us on the episode. Nicci and Jess discuss all things aging!

Episode 39: Star For Jesus (And Other Jobs I Quit), an interview with Kimberly Stuart

You’ll hear Jess and Anna talk all things motherhood + rest and how this looks very different throughout the seasons of life. If you are a mom or if you are one day hoping to be a mom, this episode is for you. If you have ever asked the questions: How do we rest as moms? What is realistic? What is practical? What does this look like in different seasons of motherhood? This episode is for you.

Episode 38: Motherhood + Rest

Jess’s newest book, Tired of Being Tired, just came out on April 9th, but since Summer is upon us, we thought this would be a good time to bring out Jess’s last book, Breaking Free from Body Shame. 


If you find yourself thinking you have to jump on a new fitness challenge, change your diet, or find yourself wanting to avoid the community pool for the next few months, this episode is for you. In this episode, we brought in our friend and team member, Katie Smith, to share her story of body shame + healing. You’ll hear Jess and Katie share openly and honestly about their past experiences, what they learned, how the Lord was able to carry them through, and how this one thing remains true: YOUR BODY IS GOOD.


This is for the woman who has never felt free, for the new mom dealing with a body she doesn’t recognize, and/or the woman who thought she’d conquered this issue, but it’s still cropping up. 


If you have a body and want to live free, this episode is for you.


Let’s go! 


Katie loves you all and is so passionate about this topic. If you ever want to connect and chat more with her, please do! Her DMs + inbox are always open if you ever want to connect: IG: @katiejsmithh  // Email: katie@goandtellgals.com
