How do we dream when we feel broken? How do we cast vision when we're in the thick of grief? This week, Jess sits down with the best dreamer she knows (her husband, Nick Connolly) to help her answer this question.

If you're in the best season of your life - you'll be inspired and encouraged to dream bigger! If you're in the hardest season of your life - this might be the life raft you desperately need. Get ready to be empowered to pursue your boldest goals as Nick dives deep into what it truly means to dream again.

This is not just my podcast; it’s our podcast, and we pray this episode is a blessing to you!

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. 

This isn’t Jess’s podcast; it’s our podcast!

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! Whether you’re scared of aging or excited about it - this episode is for you! If you want to hear all about Botox, skinny jeans, midlife crises, and fear of death, this episode is for you.

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?

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!

In this episode, Nick Connolly, husband, father, pastor, and author, interviews Jess Connolly about her newest book, ‘Tired of Being Tired.’ You’ll hear raw and honest conversations about how this current season has been for Jess, as she experienced deep grief from an unexpected family loss while also experiencing great joy in seeing this book being launched into the world.

There is no better time for this book to come out, as 'Tired of Being Tired' is all about finding rest. When rhythms fail, the principles of spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional rest hold us up. The biblical truths Jess found while writing this book carried her through when she couldn’t get enough sleep or follow all the practical tips. 

This is not just my podcast, it’s our podcast and we pray this episode is a blessing to you!

If you like the idea of rest, if you're tired of being tired, if you're ready to stop living exhausted, this episode is for you. But what in the world do you do about your community? What do you do about your spouse who has a different schedule than you? How do you handle rest if you’re an overwhelmed caregiver of small kids? These questions are ones that Jess gets asked all of the time. So, let’s talk about it!

This episode is all about community and rest and how we can have both, together. God has placed us where we are on purpose. And what if all of that was so compelling that it started a wave in our communities?

One woman willing to rest changes her life. A group of women resting changes the world. Let’s go.
