0:00.0	Hey friends, I'm Jess Connelly. I'm an author, a coach, a Bible teacher, and a local church leader, and I love talking to real people who know what it means to have full lives, but also want to walk in abundance.
0:14.6	This podcast is for you. It's not my podcast. It's ours. It's for people who crave lighthearted conversations and deeply
0:23.6	spiritual truth. It's for people who are busy, tired, waiting, growing, dreaming,
0:30.3	working, or praying about what's next. Wherever you're listening from, if it's quiet, mundane,
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,
0:39.1	and I'm so glad you're here. Let's go.
0:46.2	Every woman I know is tired. In all the seasons, they're exhausted. Whether their kids are little
0:54.1	or old, whether they have kids or not, whether they work in the seasons, they're exhausted. Whether their kids are little or old, whether they have kids or not,
0:56.6	whether they work in the home or outside of it as well, every woman I know is tired. My mom

1:12.5	sleepless nights were gone forever, they're still expressing fatigue. Every woman I know is tired.
1:20.5	It comes out in different ways. We blink back tired tears when a friend asks us how we're doing.
1:27.0	We swallow deep sighs in the morning and
1:30.2	disbelief that the night is already over. We watch social media wistfully, wondering how she gets
1:36.5	to go on so many vacations. It must be nice, we think. We start to feel the anxiety rising as the weekend winds down and the Sunday scurries
1:46.5	start in earnest. We make jokes about how we'll get sleep when we're dead. We promise ourselves
1:52.9	that it will probably get better after the next deadline, the next month, the next event,
1:58.0	or the next season, but it's not getting better. The question is, are we tired
2:04.3	enough to change our minds? Tired enough to change our lives. Tired enough to ask honest questions
2:13.6	about how we got here and how we get out of this cycle of exhaustion.
2:18.7	The words you just heard are the very first words of my next book, Tired of Being Tired.
2:23.9	And today, I'm thrilled to finally share more about it with you.
