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!

This isn’t my podcast, it’s OUR podcast. So today we're hitting one of our most requested episode topics: singleness and marriage! Since Jess has been married for nearly 20 years, we brought in our friend and team member, Liz Cox, to share her experience as a single gal.

You’ll hear Jess and Liz share their life experiences and how they’ve learned to understand each other better, learn from one another, and be on one another’s team despite being in different seasons of life. They’re answering the question, “What do you wish your married friends/single friends knew?” and their answers might surprise you. If you’re single, this episode is for you. If you’re married, this episode is for you.

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!
