If you’re a mom, we hope you’ll feel seen and equipped. If you’re not a mom, we think all of these mistakes are rooted in general truth that we could all learn from.

0:00.0	Hey friends, I'm Jess Connolly. I'm an author, a coach, a Bible teacher, and a local church leader,
0:07.1	and I love talking to real people who know what it means to have full lives, but also want to walk in abundance.
0:14.5	This podcast is for you. It's not my podcast. It's ours. It's for people who crave lighthearted conversations and deeply
0:23.4	spiritual truth. It's for people who are busy, tired, waiting, growing, dreaming, working,
0:30.4	or praying about what's next. Wherever you're listening from, if it's quiet, mundane, or busy,
0:38.8	I am praying for you and I'm so glad you're here from, if it's quiet, mundane, or busy, I am praying for you,
0:41.7	and I'm so glad you're here. Let's go.
0:52.3	We do not love to talk about our mistakes or our regrets. If you listen to any podcast, if you follow anyone on social media for insight or wisdom,

1:27.4	the moment when they'll leave our house
1:29.0	in rapid succession, I thought I might share my biggest mistakes and regret so far. If you're a
1:36.0	mom, I hope you'll feel seen and equipped. But if you're not a mom, this podcast is still for you,
1:40.9	because all of these mistakes are rooted in general truth that I think we can
1:44.9	all learn from. I am still learning from these mistakes, obviously. Let's go.
1:54.0	All right. So worth mentioning at the top of this episode that I personally am not somebody
1:59.5	who feels a lot of sadness about regrets at least
2:04.4	after I've processed them. And I'll be honest with you that I don't want to feel shame about my regrets.
