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.
Do you feel like you're a mess? And do you feel like everyone else has it all figured out? In this episode, we’re talking about messy lives but we won’t leave you there. Jess shares with us some strategies on what you can do if you feel like a mess because we get it and you are not alone.
Rhythms won’t negate our need for Jesus or the gospel but we believe that they will create strategies to feel equipped to make moves to live more fully awake.
Let’s Go.
Don’t Miss:
We’ve got a free gift for you: Wake Up Your Soul - it’s got a short quiz you can take to check in on your soul + a few quick journaling prompts to help you process.

| 0:36.9 | or busy, I am praying for you and I'm so glad you're listening from, if it's quiet, mundane, or busy, I am praying for you, |
| 0:39.0 | and I'm so glad you're here. Let's go. Do you ever feel like a mess? I do. The thing is, I don't think |
| 0:51.1 | many women feel put together. I don't think many women feel like they know what |
| 0:56.3 | they're doing or like their ducks are in a row. I think most of us walk into our days, |
