Summary

Are you scared to have hard convos?

If you're anything like Jess, she doesn’t WANT to be scared of hard conversations. But she is.

She wants to walk into election season, difficult social situations, or even groups of people with wildly differing opinions with a clear, compassionate voice – but she’s often unsure what that looks like.

In this week's episode, we're joined by Ashlee Eiland, who dives into the concepts of her newest book, ‘Say Good.’ She discusses how we can choose words that bring life even in challenging times. This book offers the compassionate guidance many are searching for this season.

Let’s go.

0:00.0	Hey friends, I'm Jess Connolly. I'm an author, a coach, a Bible teacher, and a local church leader,
0:07.0	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,
0:30.7	or praying about what's next. Wherever you're listening from, if it's quiet, mundane, or busy,
0:37.3	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,
0:38.9	and I'm so glad you're here. Let's go.
0:45.5	Listen, I don't know if you've heard, but it's an election here. And at this point, like,

1:29.9	thrilled to share this interview with you today. Me and Ashley Island, you'll hear we're not in

1:40.6	You are going to be so blessed by her wisdom and by her insight, and you are going to
1:45.1	want to run out and by say good wherever it's sold. Enjoy this episode, friends. Ashley, thank you so
1:55.6	much for being on the podcast. I'm so grateful for you. Yes, I feel like we're already family.
