Last week in our ‘Running Your Race’ podcast series we went deep; this week, we’re going light! We’ve been contemplating this episode for months – it’s unlike anything we’ve ever done before, but we’re so excited about it. Are you ready to hear what we’re talking about?

Here’s the thing – being women on mission can be tough. It can be heavy. It’s good for us to be whole and human – to have an outlet outside of our everyday reality, to be able to relate with people we encounter, to enjoy the talents of some of God’s creation. For many of us, that means watching TV. How do we keep things light and enjoy television for entertainment, but still learn from what we’re consuming? Go with us if you want - this is a fun one!

We start with a disclaimer right at the beginning: we know this episode isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay! If you prefer interviews or coaching sessions, we get it – if this doesn’t serve you, we’ll catch you next week! (Make sure to download our Running Your Race guide – it’s a free tool designed to help encourage you as you run your own race, whatever that looks like for you!)

In this episode, Jess and her lifelong friend JPH (Jennie) are talking about:

When we watch TV

Why we love watching TV (the lightness, the culture, how it relates to women)

And specific TV shows that we’re drawing valuable life lessons from, like: the Real Housewives (yes, really), Yellowstone, Downton Abbey, the West Wing, Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and more
