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.
You may ask yourself, Do we really need another book on rest? Is a book going to help if you are exhausted and there’s nothing in your life you can quit? Will rest help when you feel like you’re in a debilitating or painful season? Do you already feel bad about how much you work or how full your life is? Does it sound exhausting to be told unrealistic ideas about fighting your own fatigue by someone who couldn’t possibly understand your life?
If you’re asking these questions, this episode is for you. On today’s episode, Jess reads portions of Tired of Being Tired, shares surprising behind-the-scenes, and details on free gifts we’re giving away to people who preorder Tired of Being Tired.
