Welcome to the Go and Tell Gals podcast. I'm your host, Jess Connelly. I'm an author, a Bible teacher, a coach, and I'm obsessed with helping women take their place in the kingdom

and use their God-given gifts. I go and tell gals, we equip and encourage women with different

tools like our Map to More Guide, our group coaching program, Go teams, and even by training

other women as coaches through our licensing program.

Whether you're a college student, a stay-at-home mom, a small business owner, an astronaut,

or a veterinarian, our goal is that you lead this episode feeling more empowered to do what

God has called you to do. We're so glad you're here and we're on your team.

Let's jump into this week's episode. Okay, friends, you love her. I love her. It's the one episode a year,

maybe one out of three, maybe I'll give you two to three a year where I share her with you and say, my mom gets to be your mom for this podcast episode only. We joke about it

private. I do have a godly jealousy for you. Your time. The thing is, when you know your mom's

the best and when you know she's great, you should say,

like, well, I just want to share with everyone else and bless everyone else.

But sometimes you're like, I don't know.

She's my mom, guys.

It's the one out of maybe three episodes a year.

I'll let you guys in on this beautiful secret that is my mom,

Deb Popper. Thanks for joining us on the podcast. Thanks for sharing me.

Like, well, she can start her own podcast and you guys can listen to her there, but I like to

keep my boundary lines pretty clear. I'm so glad you're coming clean.

We always laugh that.

All my friends are always like, I feel like your mom's my mom, and I'll smile and nod.

And then I'm like, watch it.
