In this episode we sit down with Jess Connolly—author, speaker, and founder of Go + Tell Gals—to talk about the wake-up call that changed her life and how we can all learn to live more fully awake.

Jess shares the story behind her personal “wake-up” moment and what it taught her about the patterns, pressures, and mindsets that were keeping her stuck. Together, we unpack how easy it is to sleepwalk through life—numbing out, saying yes when we mean no, and living disconnected from what we actually want or need.

We talk about:

• The life-changing wake-up moment that shifted everything for Jess
• Key indicators you might be “sleeping through life”
• What it really looks like to fight for the life you want
• Why so many of us are tired of being tired—and how to start living fully awake

This episode is for anyone who’s longing to feel alive again, to stop coasting, and to step into the full, vibrant life God has for them. Jess brings her signature mix of grace and grit and invites us all to stop hitting snooze on our own stories.
