| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Jess Connolly podcast, where we talk about living fully awake, spiritually, mentally, |
| 0:08.8 | physically, and emotionally. Here, we don't strive for perfection. We pursue wholeness. And we believe that |
| 0:17.0 | women who are awake to the goodness of God cannot help but bring light to the world around |
| 0:22.8 | them. This summer, we're mixing things up with summer with friends, a special season full of |
| 0:29.7 | life-giving conversations and encouragement. Each episode is starting with a short chat or coaching |

| 1:16.7 | I thought we would kick off this episode with a quick 2025 goals check-in. I'm going to reference |
| 1:24.2 | two different episodes in this quick goals check-in, episode 22, |
| 1:28.9 | which is where I first shared my 24 goals and then episode 63, where I kind of kicked off |
| 1:36.6 | 2025 and talked about what worked last year, what didn't work, and what is coming next. |
| 1:43.7 | So a quick recap, if you don't have time |
| 1:46.5 | to listen to those episodes or if you didn't listen to them, no worries. You can, but you don't have |
