Summary

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.

We encourage you to send this episode to a friend because we know there are amazing takeaways that could spark helpful conversations between you and your friends!

Let’s go!

Liz loves y’all so much and wants you to know her DMs + inbox are always open if you ever want to connect: IG: @_elizabethcox // Email: [email protected]

Also, we briefly mention our dear friend Annie F. Downs’ amazing podcast episode about friendship and dating, which Jess was on, as well as her Patreon community for singles, The Single Purpose League. We wanted to be sure to link those resources for you all if you’re interested in listening to more thoughtful conversations on this topic.

0:00.0	Hey friends, I'm Jess Connolly. I'm an author, a coach, a Bible teacher, and a local church leader,

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
0:23.4	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,
0:36.8	or busy, I am praying for you,
0:38.9	and I'm so glad you're here. Let's go.
0:45.5	Here on the Jess Connolly podcast, we like to give the people what they ask for. We mean it
0:52.3	when we say this isn't my podcast, it's yours. And one episode you all
0:57.6	have requested the most frequently is something for the single gals. So here's the deal. I got
1:06.5	engaged in my literal teens and I haven't been on a first date for 23 years. So I decided to pull in
1:11.7	my favorite single gal, my teammate, and my friend Liz Cox. And today we're asking each other

1:41.9	Hi, Jessica.
1:43.3	Thank you so much. We were trying to recap this morning, Katie and I, and Katie said, has Liz ever been on the podcast? And I said, I think you've been on the Go and Tell Gals podcast, but not this iteration. Correct. Of the pod. Of the pod. Welcome. Thank you. So just really briefly, I want to just say, will you share about what your role is on the team
2:03.0	I go and tell gals, ever fluid as it is? That's a great question. You know, it is really funny
2:10.6	and cute to think about. Usain, so for context, yes, I've not been on the Jess Connolly podcast, but I've been on the go and tell gals.
