Going into this book, I hadn’t heard of Jordan Dooley, and that makes me so sad because goodness, I loved this book and Jordan’s heart poured into the pages. Sometimes when I go to pick up a book like this, I’m nervous it will read like any ol’ self-help type book and have the same kind of message I’ve read a million times before. I’m so happy to say that the content felt fresh and that I walked away with a great new perspective.

I so enjoyed how this read like I was sitting down with a friend having a chat over coffee. Each chapter began with a story from Jordan’s own life, making the whole thing so relatable and genuine. It was a beautiful reminder to be intentional in how we carry out our lives and that our purpose exists in the everyday, speaking out against the pressure to prove, perfectionism, comparison, insecurity, etc. And perhaps what I appreciated most was that this book wasn’t at all filled with overused and cliche inspirational quotes and ideas.

Though I can see this book as more directed to younger women/Christians, I can also see how it would be inspiring and a great fit for any woman’s walk of life as there’s something in it that every woman can relate to in some way.

I have so many sentences highlighted and I know this will be a book I revisit and think about often. Highly recommend!

A book for women of all ages! Inspiring and encouraging. Reminding us that life is about ups and down and we yet push through. It is an easy read with some particular advice
I received an advanced copy. This is my opinion.

Jordan answers the question: What is my purpose? And she gives you the answer is so simple and so true. Read this book to find out. Jordan is awkward, funny, and cool at the same time. She uses humor and is honest and real and talks to you like a friend.

In " Own Your Everyday," author Jordan Dooley gives the reader permission to shake off the expectations of others to reach towards freedom. This is her first book, yet I feel as though Jordan is the type you could have a great conversation with over coffee.

Honest and encouraging, Dooley seeks for readers to examine the motives behind what they do and how they use their time and talents. Often we pile more onto our plates than is necessary or healthy, leading to exhaustion and disappointments.

I've not followed Dooley's work in the past, but she brings a unique perspective to her writing, which I enjoyed. Most of my early reader PDF is highlighted for future reference and so that I can hand letter some quotes that really hit home for me. Don't miss out on this one--it would make a great gift for a woman of any age who is trying to find their true purpose in life--not one dictated or encouraged from the culture we live in.

I was excited to receive an early reader PDF as part of the launch team. All opinions are my own and I was not required to leave a review.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I will most definitely be ordering it in to sell to customers at my work!

Sometimes you get handed the right thing at just the right time in life--Jordan Lee Dooley’s debut book Own Your Everyday is one of those things for me. I’ve been in a time of major transition after graduating college and trying to figure out my place in the world. I’ve listened to Jordan’s podcast, The SHE Podcast, since it launched and followed her for several years. Her words of encouragement have helped me along this journey already, but I didn’t expect the impact this book would have. When I first joined the launch team for this book, I expected to read and promote a good book (of course)--not a book that spoke exactly to where I am right now and who I am right now. But that’s what I ended up doing.
Own Your Everyday is filled with personal anecdotes that can seem disjointed at first, but as you continue reading, Jordan connects each story to her points so artfully that you can’t help but admire the way she looks at her past experiences. Instead of seeing obstacles in her life as setbacks, she is able to acknowledge them for the growing points they were. Touching on topics such as outside pressure, un-met expectations, and discouragement, her words are applicable to almost any season of life the reader could be experiencing.
Although I resonated with many of the stories she told, her experience with her Nana really hit home for me. I was surprised, in fact, that her story could be so incredibly similar to my own. Without revealing too much of her own story, we both experienced losing our Nanas our first year of college (and it seems to have shaped us both in similar ways.) As I read about her thoughts on this specific experience, especially her teenage reluctance to be the caretaker (it’s true, it’s hard to see someone who is supposed to take care of you become the one who needs care), I went through all those feelings all over again. As she reminisced on the lessons her Nana taught her, I reminisced on mine. This may not have been something Jordan intended when writing this specific story, but oh how it did impact me.
The style of this book is very conversational. It’s been described by many as “feeling like a coffee shop girl talk,” and I would agree with that. From advice about purpose and planning to thoughts on freedom, envy, and vulnerability, this book has a little bit of it all. If you have anyone--a mom, sister, daughter, friend, anyone--who needs encouragement (or just a little push) at this point in life, I would recommend Own Your Everyday. I feel blessed to have read it and learned from it, and plan to come back to it throughout my life. Gift it to a graduate during this time of transition or a friend who needs it. You won’t regret it.

When I first heard of Jordan Lee Dooley I thought she was for younger girls, high school graduates, college sorority girls.... I didn't think I was her Target market and then I started reading...

By the time I was half way through the introduction I was hooked. Jordan is sincere and she writes as if she is your best friend. Inspiring you, pushing you and telling you her honest and vulnerable parts while helping you to know - I am not alone - we are all imperfect - we all question - we all struggle. Our stories are all different but deep down we deal with so many of the same things. Jordan's story opens the readers' eyes to letting down our guard and being vulnerable in order to get closer to our goals - whether it be a business goal or something personal such as friendships.

I can't recommend this book enough to women of all ages. I know each reader will take a different part from this book but all will find a key to what they might just need to hear right now. Since receiving my advanced copy from the publisher I have started following her podcast and continue to benefit from her words.

I was thrilled to receive an ARC of Own your Everyday by Jordan Dooley and it far exceeded my expectations. Jordan is so inspiring and while I worried that I might not be in the "target crowd" of her followers, I felt right at home reading her words and hearing her deliver her beautiful message of acceptance and dealing with insecurities, expectations and the constant pressure to present ourselves in a certain way to prove we are worthy. Her personal stories woven in with her advice made the book more like a conversation with a friend than a self-help type book.
This book speaks to all women- young and old- and delicately details the ways you can live who God truly meant you to be. I wish I had this book to read 20 years ago....but I am grateful that I have it to read today. Thank you to the publisher and author for this ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I’m a newbie to Jordan Lee Dooley. And when I found her followers I wondered if I was too old to appreciate her. I am delighted to report that Jordan’s style amazes me. I’m an avid reader of self help or coaching books of the Christian industry. And I’m delighted that she is the real deal. Her faith is who she is but not shoved at you. She just declares her experiences with God. Her wonders and how she sees God essential in her life purpose. She’s not preachy. She is truthful about what helps her.

She seems like a kindred spirit. A sister or dear friend who has dropped by to be real and talk through how to live owning your everyday the way God desires for you. She will help you find your purpose, hone your purpose, accept struggle, take baby steps forward, she covers so many layers of life and learning with such ease and fluency.

She will use her book. Her blog. Her podcast to be that whisper in your ear to remind you or train you to have a healthy mindset. This book is full of her thinking aloud in a healthy way. I would say her gift to the reader is a God driven growth mindset with your unique purpose as the foundation.

It’s an easy read. But I was disappointed when it was over. Thankful she podcasts weekly. Lots of authors tell us how to reflect and be introspective. Jordan Lee Dooley is the first coach who makes self discovery seem effortless and simple.

Delighted to partner with Water-brook Multnomah and read an advanced copy. I hope this is the first of many books. I sense that women of any age will be captivated and want to grow with her for years to come. It is true that our “brokenness is welcome here.” But is also true that you can own your everyday and let go of false feelings and learn to move ahead.

I enjoy following Jordan on social media, so I was excited to get a copy of her new book courtesy of NetGalley. This is a quick and easy read full of everyday inspiration for young women. Jordan talks about following God, dealing with insecurities, and finding identity. There's nothing ground breaking here, but the book's message is a good one. Fans of Jordan will not be disappointed.

Reading this book was like talking with your best girlfriend. I found it very encouraging and the advice to be most helpful.
It was a quick and enjoyable read.

I had the privilege to read an advance readers copy of this book (thanks Waterbrook & Multnomah!) and it is absolutely WONDERFUL!
Jordan Lee Dooley is an inspiring young Christian woman, and her book inspires women - of all ages, of all walks of life, in all seasons of life - to live their life in full ownership of who each one of us is made to be. "Own Your Everyday" reads as if you are having a conversation with a sweet soul-sister of a friend. She encourages us to look deeply at our own lives and dig out and address insecurities, expectations, and the pressure to prove. Jordan shares honest, compelling anecdotes from her life and explores other ways these three main issues might manifest themselves now or in the future. With empathy, guidance, and practical action steps, Jordan helps us address imposter syndrome, disappointment, shame, comparison, perfectionism, and distraction. We are called, Jordan declares, to redefine a successful life on our own terms and in as many unique ways are we are all born and gifted to live. Jordan gives us permission to be our individual selves and break free from societal, cultural, or familial expectations we all bear at one point or another in our lives. This book is for you if you are a young woman, a young-at-heart woman, raising a young woman, working with a young woman, or even just know one. Happy reading! This one is worth it!

Ladies, listen up! No matter what season you are in life, please, do me a favor, and pick this book up for a quick read! Jordan is full of so much positivity and encouragement. It’s easy to fall in love with this book from the very first chapter. She shares some of her fondest memories and deepest desires. It also makes her so relatable.
Jordan teaches us that we all have a purpose, life can be messy, and it’s okay to not be perfect. We aren’t handed the life we dream of, we must work hard for it!
This book is beautifully written. I couldn’t stop highlighting quotes!!
I received an advanced copy for review purposes and consider it a true blessing!

This book has been SUCH A BLESSING to me!!!

I am SO grateful for being accepted to be a part of this launch team, & even more so to have been chosen as 1 of only 500 to receive an Advanced Reader Copy courtesy of WaterBrook & Multnomah.

This will definitely be a book that I will be reading again & again!!!

LADIES, I don’t care what stage of life you are in, you NEED to read this book!!!

“Own Your Everyday: Overcome the Pressure to Prove and Show Up for What You Were Made to Do” by Jordan Lee Dooley has plenty of practical & applicable advice for living your best life no matter what season you are currently in.

I cannot state enough that I HIGHLY recommend this book!!!
(I already ordered 2 extra because I want to bless others with this blessing of a book)

I’ve followed Jordan for a few years now and she’s always had so much wisdom to share. I’m so thankful for voices like hers and books like this because it’s truly something all girls, old and young need to hear. There’s always something new to learn and Jordan has such a way with words and this book makes you feel like you’re bffs with her.

Own Your Everyday reached inside my heart, mind, and experiences to make me feel seen by Jordan. Some of the experiences were literally play-by-play my own. I knew Jordan was going to give me a new goal or perspective for my life from listening to her podcast and following her on social media. What I didn't expect, however, was just how motivated or alive I would feel after reading Own Your Everyday. I am excited to put Jordan's words into action in my life. I am going to recommend this book to every woman I know, no matter their age or where they are in life.

I'll admit, when Jordan said she was going to be releasing a book "that would be for everybody" I was a bit skeptical and honestly a little bit concerned because I thought she would end up compromising the Gospel/biblical approach to life in favor of appealing to secular audiences.

THANKFULLY Jordan did not do this. She was clear in making sure the reader understood that her purpose is not tied to a specific career path, married life, etc but rather to HOW she lives her life. This includes cultivating relationships with others around her right where she's at, battling our pride and the need to be better than other people just for our own glory, trying things and being okay with failing knowing that it in no way thwarts God's plan for her life, taking that first step, and knowing that her identity is in no way tied to what she does BUT in who God says she is.

I also liked how Jordan had practical steps in almost every chapter that gave the reader some actionable ways in which she could carry out the truths Jordan spoke about.

Although I know this book was not marketed strictly towards Christians, I do wish Jordan had done a better job at presenting the Gospel and salvation a bit clearer than she does on the part titled "The Door I Never Opened". I wish she had just spelled it out a bit more i.e. talked about SIN and how that distorts the view of ourselves and leads to our pride, need to prove ourselves to people, and wanting to do everything out of our own strength. This section could have been presented better than it was but honestly, apart from that, I would recommend this book.

I also wish she had clearly spelled out that our purpose in life is to glorify God with our lives. I believe Jordan didn't do that because she's trying to appeal to secular audiences as well.

I am thankful for Jordan's ministry because I got to join The Sisterhood when it was still in its early phases and I've met some wonderful women who love the Lord and most importantly, His Word. I am happy to go out there and Own My Everyday by living intentionally because of my identity in Christ and making sure I'm valuing others above myself and doing everything as unto the Lord.

In exchange for my honest review, I received an advanced reader copy from WaterBrook and Multnomah.

I received an advanced reader copy for an honest review and Girl. If you are looking for the next book to rock your world THIS IS IT. Jordan takes us on a journey through her story. She elicits emotion with such ease. I cried so many good tears because I could feel the Spirit's presence as I was reading. Her writing is biblically sound and perfectly uplifts and convicts all at the same time. Reading this book will help equip you to Own Your Everyday and guide you to discover what you were made to do. Seriously pick this gem up. I'll be gifting some because every woman needs to read this. It helps with strategies to over come perfectionism and comparison which I know way too many women who struggle with this. Jordan has this way about her that is so easy to read and you'll enjoy every moment of it.

In "Own Your Everyday", Jordan Lee Dooley makes the case for focusing on the now and the current role that you are playing -whether college student, newly-wed or new mama. Through her everyday anecdotes, she provides teachable moments on overcoming perfectionism, insecurity, loss and identity. One of my favourite lines from the book is "..Embracing your reality by starting where you are". This was a gentle reminder that we can get overwhelmed by decisions and not know where to start but taking the next few steps in faith is sometimes all we need,

Her conversational style will be welcomed by readers especially for long-term listeners. I was personally drawn in by the beautiful cover (C.mon she is a beautiful person both in and out) and all the Instagram buzz around this book. Nonetheless, I would recommend this book when in need of a bear hug from a big sister.

Having watched a few of the author's YouTube videos before, and been encouraged by her passion and vulnerability, I was excited at the chance to read and review her debut book. But . . . to be honest, I was a bit disappointed. The book wasn't bad, I just didn't find it that great. It was easy to read, but it also felt a bit shallow. Like things I'd heard over and over again. And especially... like the book was missing an emphasis on the whole point of purpose. The author shared a lot of tips for how to find and pursue your purpose and what lies to fight... but she didn't talk a whole lot about what in the world our core purpose actually is: to glorify God and be in relationship with Him. She briefly touched those things but didn't talk a lot about how they are our core purpose.

Some other random thoughts:
-The chapters were short and readable, with a nice amount of personal stories
-The book's subtitle wording drives me crazy . . . please tell me I'm not the only one who sees it
-I actually liked the excessive use of alliteration throughout the book XD
-This book shares a lot of practical tips... while on the other hand, there were moments when I wished for more. The author would say "do this great thing" or "build this beneficial discipline!" without explaining, practically, *how* to do it
-I did not agree with all of the theology

Overall, this book wasn't bad. It did provide some food for thought. But it wasn't great, and I honestly got a little bored once I realized it wasn't going to go very deep theologically.

Note: I received a copy of this from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts ate my own.
