Feeling down and out and without purpose? This book addresses today's common, basic issues that hinder us from owning our daily lives. Not only does it point out the difficulties we go through, it also gives us practical and relevant steps to empower every women around the world.

I really enjoyed reading this book because it was very down to earth and in no way offensive as the author shares her own life experiences which also made it very comprehensible. It was easy to understand and grasp each concept which begin to shift my paradigm on how I see life.

In this whole book, the author emphasises on intentional purposeful living while not forcing readers to figure out what to do with our lives. Instead, the author encourages us to live a life that serves God and people. As long as we are doing that, we can find purpose in everything we do.

After reading this book, I've started listening to Jordan's podcast. I love how she makes everything so real and gives practical steps to Own Our Everyday. I would definitely recommend this book to all women out there.

I didn't enjoy this as much as I thought I would. The lessons were good - but I feel like the title of the book and the story told didn't live up to my expectations.

Choose to show up. Love God. Love People. These are the three themes Jordan walks us through in "Own Your Everyday". Her story feels like a conversation with a friend. One that breathes truth in both the easy and not so easy experiences of everyday life. I would definitely recommend for a reader looking for a breath of fresh air, an encouraging word, and an honest truth!

I really enjoyed this inspirational book. I have ordered it for the library and I feel many of my patrons will enjoy it.

Relatable and Ecouraging!

This book gives practical advice to women in all different walks of life on how to embrace their everyday life instead of waiting for life to get better.

Dooley is candid and sincere in her own stories about life that make her easy to relate to.

Own Your Everyday is such a REAL life view on how you can be your best self. Jordan's voice is so honest and relatable. As a woman, its so easy to lose sight of yourself and what you want to do with your life and this book is a great reminder that we can and should be our best self and accomplish the things we set out to do.

Initially skeptical, but ultimately enjoyed

I was a little unsure about this book when I first got it because I thought it would be geared more towards high school/college/recent graduate women. Although there were some parts that definitely catered to that age group, overall I feel like there were some great messages that all women should read, regardless of their age. I appreciated some of the concrete steps that she provided to help dig deeper into your purpose, and will likely reread this book again in the future.

Jordan's voice through the book is conversational, and as she shares some of her life experiences, and more than her fair share of wisdom nuggets, you'll feel as if you were sitting down for coffee (or pizza ;) ), and having this good, long conversation with her about pretty much anything (from how to deal with impostor syndrome and/or disappointment to body image, and so many other things). You won't regret grabbing this book and reading it. She's fun, she's down to earth, and she wants to help you. Believe me, you'll laugh, you'll cry and, bottom line, you'll relate so much you'll be saying "girl, same" pretty much from the get-go.

I knew absolutely nothing about Dooley going into this book, and I usually prefer it to be that way with authors in this personal development and/or faith-based non-fiction genre. So often, these books get picked up by the mainstream Christian women's wave and it sways the opinions of many readers. I prefer to formulate my own opinion. I thought this book was okay, but it lacked depth. I enjoyed learning about Dooley's life in the personal stories she shares. The chapters were quick and easy to read. There were quite a few good soundbites, but overall, there wasn't anything groundbreaking here. These inspirational books geared toward women of faith are a dime a dozen, sharing the same platitudes and encouragement. *Advance copy provided by the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

This book came to me just at the right time on the brink of my 30th birthday. I’m one of those people who have had my life planned out since high school. Seriously, knew all the college courses I would take, when I would take them etc. As I found out early in college, “If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.” I changed from a pharmacy major to a psychology major my freshman year of college. My senior year of college, I decided to pursue graduate school and become a counselor. 5 years after graduating with my master’s, I still have not completed licensure for my counseling and I’m technically not working in a job that even needed that degree. I say all this to point out that planning got me nothing but a lot of heartburn and headaches. As I approach 30, and look at my list of things I wanted to accomplish before my 30th birthday, very few of those things have been accomplished and this book helped me understand that, THAT’S OK.
I say it again for the one’s in the back, IT’S OK! Goals change, people change and your life path certainly isn’t a straight line.
Thank you to WaterBrooks and Multnomah for the advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

Great book. The author has a really great writing style that makes the book easy to read and enjoyable to partake in.

Thanks go to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This is a book that I will definitely purchase a hard copy of, despite having already read the e-book for this review. It’s the kind of book that I want to highlight, and scribble notes into the margins and think about during those minutes when I crawl in bed and wait for sleep. Jordan Lee Dooley shares many insights into living a life of purpose, but one of the most essential is that I don’t have to have my perfect life plan completely mapped out and be successfully 2/3 of the way through it before I can live a life of purpose. NO MATTER WHAT SEASON OF LIFE YOU ARE IN, YOU CAN HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT. Putting the ideas in this book into practice can be a world changer!

Amazing and motivational! Jordan really knows how to connect with you, and get you to look at truly being who you were made to be. On my second time through....a must read!

Wonderful book. Jordan writes as if she has known you for her whole life. Her vulnerability and authenticity shine through! She does a great job tackling heavy issues while also giving helpful tips and advice on how to address them in your own life. I love how she incorporated greater details about her faith. I recommend this 100%, it can be helpful and relevant to women of all ages!

I love to follow the authors' blog and social media posts, so I was really looking forward to reading through this book. I found it to be very encouraging, inspiring and motivational. There are so many good takeaways from this work that I look forward to sharing it with others. I am deeply inspired and moved as a result of Jordan's gems.

Wow! I needed to read this book. Jordan writes one of the most relatable books I’ve ever read. Maybe it’s because we are at similar points in our lives or maybe it’s because we have similar stories (she writes about comparing herself to others at the gym, something I also do), but either way, this book helped me get some ideas of how to discover who I truly am.
Make sure you have a highlighter or notebook, you’ll want to make note of many things throughout this book! The main theme of the book is that our identity reveals why we are here. The problem is, most of us do not know our true identity. We let others define us and let problems get the best of us. This book gives great tips and ideas on how to leave your comfort zone and truly find yourself.
Please take the time and read this book. Highlight important passages. But truly take what she is saying and take it to heart. A must-read!
Thank you to Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

A million, gajillion stars!!!! Ladies, go quickly and find yourselves a copy because this book is going to hit you deep!!!

Two of my friends really like Jordan Lee Dooley and follow her social media. Every so often, they'd send me a quote or something but I never really followed her. Then I heard she wrote a book. A book is a small commitment and I love reading so I was intrigued. Plus, then I could discuss it with my friend :)

Oh. My. Goodness.

This book is AMAZING!!!! I was sticky-noting the heck out of it because she just kept saying things that hit me so deeply.

Jordan's book is conversational. It's not a memoir or self-help book, but more of some good tips and things that she has learned or is learning. She is just honest and offers things that have helped her and might help you.

There was a good bit about finding purpose in the here and now and not wasting what you have longing for the future. I've done my share of that. My friends and I always played that we were older than we were. It was five simple words, but I think they're going to be up on several walls in my home one day: this is the good stuff.

Whatever season you are in, whatever is coming that you might be excited about and longing for, that's not the good stuff. It might be good too, but it's not like you have to wait for the good stuff. It's here. Now. Right where you are and right in front of you.

I'm not just putting that up in my home one day. It's going to be on a sticker on my laptop and on the cork board by my bed and on the wall by my door. Anywhere I can see it often and remember. When I'm longing for the next step or the next season, when I'm tired of waiting, I can look and see "this is the good stuff".

I loved Jordan's honesty and vulnerability as she shares her story and struggles while giving the reader a encouragement to live your life fully instead of letting life happen to you. Jordan's personality really shines through her writing, making it feel like you are getting a pep talk from a friend.

I’m older than the target audience (36) but enjoyed the book. Fail forward and hearing it is okay to try a lot of things is so counter-cultural that I can’t hear it enough.
