145: What It Takes to Own Your Everyday Life (feat. Jordan Lee Dooley)

Does it ever seem like you still have to find your purpose or that you’re stuck with a lot of unanswered questions about your true desires for life? And if you’re anything like me, you probably feel the pressure to prove yourself and worry about what others will think, right? It has been one of the greatest challenges in my own life. But I’ve learned is that if I let myself, I’ll always be waiting for some distraction to end before I can really get down to the work of owning my everyday life. Well that’s the topic of today’s conversation. And that’s the story of our guest today, Jordan Lee Dooley.

From accidentally starting a small business instead of using her college degree, to embarrassing herself onstage in front of thousands, to wasting time worrying about what others think or say, Jordan Lee Dooley knows exactly how that feels—and she’s learned some important lessons about living a purposeful life along the way.

As an influential millennial widely recognized for her tagline turned international movement, “Your Brokenness is Welcome Here,” Jordan has become a go-to source that people around the world look to for inspiration in their faith, work, relationships, and everyday life. In today’s practical and really candid conversation, through the lens of Jordan’s new book, Own Your Everyday: Overcome the Pressure to Prove and Show Up for What You Were Made to Do, you’re going to learn how to tackle obstacles such as disappointment, perfectionism, comparison, and distraction. You’re going to understand how to remove labels and break out of the box of unrealistic expectations put-on you by others…and yourself. Then, you’ll be able to identify and eliminate excuses and unnecessary stress about an unknown future while overcoming the lie that you can’t live your God-given purpose until you reach a certain goal or milestone.

It’s time to own your everyday and push aside the weight and distractions of insecurity and shame. And it’s time to jump into my conversation with Jordan…right now.
