Summary

Last week in our ‘Running Your Race’ podcast series we went deep; this week, we’re going light! We’ve been contemplating this episode for months – it’s unlike anything we’ve ever done before, but we’re so excited about it. Are you ready to hear what we’re talking about?

Here’s the thing – being women on mission can be tough. It can be heavy. It’s good for us to be whole and human – to have an outlet outside of our everyday reality, to be able to relate with people we encounter, to enjoy the talents of some of God’s creation. For many of us, that means watching TV. How do we keep things light and enjoy television for entertainment, but still learn from what we’re consuming? Go with us if you want - this is a fun one!

We start with a disclaimer right at the beginning: we know this episode isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay! If you prefer interviews or coaching sessions, we get it – if this doesn’t serve you, we’ll catch you next week! (Make sure to download our Running Your Race guide – it’s a free tool designed to help encourage you as you run your own race, whatever that looks like for you!)

In this episode, Jess and her lifelong friend JPH (Jennie) are talking about:

When we watch TV
Why we love watching TV (the lightness, the culture, how it relates to women)
And specific TV shows that we’re drawing valuable life lessons from, like: the Real Housewives (yes, really), Yellowstone, Downton Abbey, the West Wing, Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and more

0:00.0	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
0:22.5	kingdom and use their God-given gifts. I go and tell gals, we equip and encourage women with different
0:29.9	tools like our Map to More Guide, our group coaching program, Go teams, and even by training
0:35.8	other women as coaches through our licensing program.
0:39.4	Whether you're a college student, a stay-at-home mom, a small business owner, an astronaut,
0:45.3	or a veterinarian, our goal is that you lead this episode feeling more empowered to do what
0:51.4	God has called you to do. We're so glad you're here and we're on your team.
0:58.2	Let's jump into this week's episode.
1:03.3	All right, friends, Jess here. Listen, I warned you last week. You didn't listen to last week's
1:08.5	episode, episode 125. I told you at the end of episode
1:12.5	125 that we were going deep that week and next week we were going to let it be light and so we're
1:17.9	going to bring the light. We're going to crack the window open. We're going to pull the curtains back.
1:21.6	We're going to turn the lights on. Maybe turn the lights off. I don't know. This episode is when I have
1:27.4	talked, laughed,
1:29.2	joked, smiled about for months now, and we're finally here. I have my dear friend JPM with me.
1:36.1	All right. Back up. I just said the phrase J.P.H, which I say very quickly often.
1:43.1	And when I say it to our friends, they're always like, huh,
1:46.0	what did, because I just say it so quick. JPH. What's your name? Yeah. So JPM, it's my initials.
1:52.0	It's my first, middle and last initial. My real name is Jenny. Technically, it's Jennifer. No one
1:57.2	helped me that. But 1970-something to the late 80s, Jennifer was the most popular name out there.
2:04.0	And so freshman year of high school, I think it started.
2:06.9	I think our English teacher called me that or some sort of shortened version of it.
