Summary

Welcome to our podcast– The Jess Connolly Podcast!

This podcast is for you. It’s not my podcast, it’s ours. It’s for people who crave light-hearted conversations and deeply spiritual truths. It’s for those of us who are busy, tired, waiting, growing, dreaming, working, or praying about what’s next.

This episode is for you if you have a body and sometimes wonder if it truly is a good body. Maybe this holiday season you are visiting family who comments on your body, feeling funky about a body that is changing, experiencing insecurity while you take holiday pictures, or just really wanting to get through the season of parties without engaging in the wild yoyo of indulging and withholding.

So let’s get our minds right, our hearts ready, and our answers prepared for that one aunt who always comments on whether or not we’ve lost our baby weight.

Let’s Go.

0:00.0	Hey friends, I'm Jess Connelly. I'm an author, a coach, a Bible teacher, and a local church leader, and I love talking to real people who know what it means to have full lives, but also want to walk in abundance.
0:14.6	This podcast is for you. It's not my podcast. It's ours. It's for people who crave lighthearted conversations and deeply
0:23.6	spiritual truth. It's for people who are busy, tired, waiting, growing, dreaming, working,
0:30.6	or praying about what's next. Wherever you're listening from, if it's quiet, mundane, or busy, I am praying for you and I'm so
0:39.9	glad you're here. Let's go. Whether you're visiting family who you think might be commenting on your

1:54.0	All right, friends, listen, y'all know I love to talk about body image.
1:58.6	My book, Breaking Free from Body Shame, came out in June
2:02.5	2021. And I am always so excited to talk to women who are wanting more freedom in their
2:10.6	life, specifically as it pertains to the way they view and interact with their bodies. And so I
2:17.4	just want to tell you at the front of this
2:19.3	episode that I have a theory that the holiday season is actually the hardest time of the year
