Hey friends. You're listening to the Go and Tell Girls podcast, and I'm your host, Jess Conn.

In most of our episodes, we'll have a guest, a woman who is

running on mission right where she's at. We pray this podcast leaves you encouraged and spurred

on to go and tell the good news.

Hey friends, today's episode is with Andi Colbert, who is a licensed therapist and also the author of Try Softer, a fresh approach to move us out of anxiety, stress, and survival mode and into a life

of connection and joy.

Andi is a new friend.

I've just met her.

and the glory of God. You're going to love this episode. I think it's going to encourage you to try softer,

and that's a really beautiful thing.

Hey friends, what a treat today. We have the very wise and the incredible Andi Culper. I am so excited to get to

know her. And I have been reading her newest book that just came out. And I know many of you

Andy, thanks for joining us today. Jess, thank you so much for having me.

I'm honored.

Literally, it's our joy to get to talk to you.

Now, I'll tell you what I have to start with is that whenever I talk to anyone who is a licensed therapist, I have to be really careful because I just want to monopolize your time and like and say like fix me
