Summary
Ever think, “I wish I’d said that differently”? Jess gets real about words she regrets before a powerful convo with Kate Strickler of Nap Time Kitchen. They discuss her new book, I Just Wish I Had a Bigger Kitchen, contentment, marriage myths, friendship struggles, and why a bigger kitchen, or any “next thing,” won’t fix everything.
Honest, funny, and full of grace, this episode will leave you feeling less alone and more encouraged.
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, |
| 0:07.1 | and I love talking to real people who know what it means to have full lives, but also want to walk in abundance. |
| 0:14.4 | This podcast is for you. It's not my podcast. It's ours. It's for people who crave lighthearted conversations and deeply |

| 1:24.0 | Welcome to the Jess Connolly podcast. |
| 1:32.5 | Hello, friends, this intro segment is called What I Wish I'd said. We were brainstorming fun little intros for this fall and for |
| 1:40.5 | different interview segments. And I'm going to give it to you straight. |
| 1:44.3 | Chat GPT came up with this one and said, |
| 1:46.3 | what if you did a little segment on things that you've said wrong, |
| 1:49.1 | that you wish you could say better? |
