When I applied to get this book on NetGalley. I was really excited about it.
then when I started reading, it it just fell flat.


I don’t know if it’s just because, I’m in my late 20s, and I kind of really know myself fairly well. Or if it just doesn’t work right.

A lot of the advice is rather generic, very very little of it even seems kind of borderline harmful though really nice to see.

It reads a lot like it’s for teenage girls that want to feel comfortable doing normal things.

I want to feel like they’re excepted I guess

I don’t know it’s just rather 🤷‍♀️

Nothing wrong with it nothing amazing about it either three stars

Thank you netGalley for sending me this review copy

Own Your Everyday was truly a joy to read!! While it is listed in Christian and talks about God it is also great as a self help! God used Jordan as a tool to help women!!! I hope that this book will bring as much joy to others as it did me!!

Own Your Everyday is a great debut novel from Jordan Lee Dooley. The chapters are set up in an easily readable format that give readers actionable steps to take to “own their everyday”. Dooley makes good use of the anecdote in her book, which helps propel her chapters forward, and I can’t wait to see what she writes next.

Thank you to Netgalley and WaterBrook & Multnomah for the review copy. Although I received this book as a review copy, are all of my words honest, and I do only give my true opinions.

This is a very honest and inspiring book. This book will fill you with love and let you know that you are appreciated and that you are loved!

I did not know Jordan Lee Dooley beforehand, but she is certainly an inspiring young woman! And man has she accomplished a lot of things in her life! She is a bestselling author, she is s a podcaster, she is an entrepreneur, and most importantly, is she a young woman who loves to inspire others and know her place in life! And in this book, is she the best friend you have always wished for!

I love the humor in this book. We have to make fun of ourselves sometimes. We have. Laugh at ourselves. We can’t take everything too seriously. Sometimes we just have to let loose.

After having read this book, I am filled with so much energy. I feel ready to accomplish anything. I feel ready to love myself. And I feel ready to know that I am important! And you can feel the same way, by reading “Own Your Everyday”!

This is such a great, inspiring read. I highly recommend it, especially to women in their 20s-30s. Jordan is so relatable and her stories helped me through issues of my own. After reading her book, I also started listening to her, She, podcast. I love it! I can relate to her content more than from other women in the personal development space because Jordan is in the same phase of life as me (married, no kids, early 30's). Go get yourself a copy of her book today!

I remember when Jordan announced her book would be called "Purpose"....then it completely was revamped! So grateful it was pushed back and Own Your Everyday came out - wow. I am always encouraged when I read her story and see her Instagram and was ecstatic to be a part of the launch team (I know.... long time coming for this review! Thank you Netgalley for the digital copy!) I adore her message of getting unstuck by owning what makes you, you! By following her practical steps and stories to combat distraction, disappointment, comparison, and more, you'll be able to break out of the box of excuses and step into what God created you to do, by owning who you are and your next thing, focusing on first things. What a lovely, refreshing pep talk to take the pressure off striving and perfection that leads to stress and burnout and instead, read a hearty book that cuts to the chase, without all the cutesy fluff that the self help business type genre generally has.

I was pretty bummed about this book, because I've loved Dooley's blog and the message she's been sharing online for years. I really wanted more of that honest, in-depth look at life and overcoming hardships that she's known for.

This book was not really any one thing: not memoir, not self-help, not Biblical resource, but an odd, difficult-to-follow mix of all three. Unfortunately, it just didn't mesh well, and I walked away from reading it so confused by what it was that I didn't grasp the message she was trying to convey.

I will definitely be giving this author another chance, should she decide to write another book in the future. But I won't be recommending this to friends.

This was an okay read. I'm going with a 3.5 star rating for this book. I did enjoy how easy going of a read this was. The writing of this was very conversational style. I felt like I was sitting at a coffee shop chatting with Jordan. I could definitely relate in some form or fashion with some of the things Jordan wrote. Some things I definitely questioned. I wish there was a lot more scripture included in this book.

I enjoyed her personal experiences and really learning more about Jordan as a person. I loved the questions she asked readers -- very thought provoking. She definitely was able to make me as the reader look at my own expectations and issues on a deeper level.

Good read.

This was a fun book but also an enlightening book. I enjoyed getting to “know” Jordan through this book and now follow her on socials. There was a lot of great advice about how to be you and not feel bad about it.

Love. Love. Love this. From the start I was sucked it. The stories she tells as points to help you OWN your OWN life are great! I will read again and again!!

This is not your typical self help book, but I highly recommend it to women of all ages and stages of your life.

I am an overachiever. I set the bar too high. I am a perfectionist. I am also successful. I have always known that I put too much pressure on myself, and I also know that I need to make changes in my life that will allow for me to relax.

Own You Every Day: Overcome the Pressure to Prove and Show Up for What You Were Made to Do, arrived in my mailbox. Jordan Lee Dooley is an incredible breakout author.

I have been able to compartmentalize expectations; I am slowly beginning to lower the bar that I have set for myself. I am listening less to the opinions of others. I am taking ownership for the goals and the dreams that I have for myself.

“Maybe a meaningful life is not at all about figuring it out but rather just being willing to get outside our comfort zone,” Jordan Lee Dooley.

For anyone out there who feels like me, perfectionist to the core, I encourage you to take a leap of faith. You will feel weightless when you make the decision to not take everything so seriously.

Having read Jordan’s inspiring posts on instagram I was excited to be chosen to read the ARC. However, I ended up feeling this book was not for me. The book wasn’t bad, but I didn’t think it was good.

Jordan’s book is targeted towards women and girls who don’t know what to do with their lives. It seems to best fit as a read for women are are insecure in their choices and seek validation. I did not find it to be motivational as someone who is secure in my life choices and jobs. The content is relatable but not deep. It also has a lot of general good advice, but no applicable how to advice for those tips. Overall, it felt to me as though the author stayed in the shallow end of the pool.

This is the kind of book you’re going to want to buy a physical copy of so you can easily flip back! Reading this book truly felt like I was hanging out with Jordan as she shared fun, lighthearted, deep, and practical advice on how to redefine our purpose.

Absolutely loved this book and have found a new friend in Jordan Lee Dooley! I relate so much to her story and her struggle with body image and I found her writing style to be relatable, easy to read and charming. Looking forward to another book from her!

I love Jordan Lee Dooley and the positive she enthuses. Her book is nothing short of uplifting. She has a way with words that leaves the reader feeling contentment, and ready to tackle the world.

This book is much needed for every woman in every stage of life. Jordan simultaneously describes the importance of reaching for your goals while also embracing your day-to-day. Every day, every stage, every circumstance has a purpose in God’s ultimate plan for our lives and this book teaches you how to find joy daily. I received an Advanced Readers Copy of OYE, but I have my pre-ordered Copy coming, and I will be purchasing this book for all the important ladies in my life!

Jordan's book is right on trend with the messages from various speakers/authors of today that women need to find their purpose, own their authentic self, follow their dreams, stop beating themselves up, and forget the opinions/expectations of others. Part of it reminded me of Girl Stop Apologizing by Rachel Hollis, but written in a different style and from an author with a different story. I for one, can always use this kind of book, even as a reminder of what is so easy to forget.

Own Your Everyday is a book to be read again, gleaning more from it each time. It's about taking control of your life, overcoming what stands in your way, and moving forward one step at a time.

Reading this book is like being curled up on the couch in front of the fire with your best friends, sharing a good bottle of wine and life stories. It feels as though Jordan is one of those friends, being real and kind and saying the things you’ve heard and read before, but in a voice that is relatable and makes you think about your choices and that the big picture, whilst incredibly important, shouldn’t overtake the small, daily joys of being alive. Although Jordan is still young, it didn’t feel as though I’m reading an offering that would resonate only with her generation, her words and ideas bridge ages, generations and will speak to many women in different seasons of their lives. I was incredibly lucky to be a part of the launch team for this special book, and can’t wait for it to get into the hands of many women who would benefit so greatly by hearing her message.
