Why We are So Tired and What to Do About It, with Jess Connolly

Receiving God’s Realistic Rest for your Soul-Deep Exhaustion

Women are mostly all tired, aren’t we? For women today, fatigue has become the norm and busyness is often worn as a badge of honor.

Jess Connolly has lived in that bone-weary place, even to the point of developing chronic panic-attacks, battling anxiety and an autoimmune disease. But with wise practices and a new way of living, Jess discovered the path to a realistic rest that is available to every Christ follower.

Jess is sharing practical wisdom to guide women into a lifestyle of sustainable rest. In today’s conversation Jess and I talk about the different sources of fatigue, the lies that prevent women from practicing rest, and the difference between being “busy” and having a “full life.” I loved what Jess had to say about (my pet peeve) “busy shaming” and how we each need to discover our unique sources of rest.

I think this is a relatable topic for all women and I pray you finish this episode feeling refreshed and hopeful!
