Own Your Everyday: Overcome the Pressure to Prove and Show Up for What You're Made to Do

Rate this book
Do you ever feel the pressure to prove yourself? Or to "figure it all out" as you're waiting in seasons that seem like the awkward in-between? Does it ever feel seem that you're the only one with "unfigured-out dreams"?
Jordan equips you to confront the feeling of being stuck and instead live your purpose by owning (not ignoring) your story, your quirks, your struggles, and everything that makes you, you.

In this book, Jordan provides practical tools as she shows you how to:
tackle limitations like disappointment, perfectionism, comparison, distraction, and more;
overcome the lie that you can't live your purpose until or unless you reach a certain goal, milestone, etc.;
remove labels and break out of the box of expectations;
identify and eliminate excuses, insecurity, and unnecessary stress about an unknown future.

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 are my own.

I’ve followed Jordan Lee Dooley on social media for years. I started following her bible journaling tips back when she started SoulScripts. I was really looking forward to this book because I like her posts online. But it wasn’t what I’d hoped it would be.

So much of the book was just not relevant to me or my life. Her advice is very targeted toward girls who are unsure what to do with their lives. Girls who are in a period of waiting or who are constantly comparing themselves to others. Girls who want validation for choosing ordinary lives instead of extraordinary ones. Insecure girls.

I love a good self-help book, one with advice for being successful in your career and personal life. One that fires you up to take on the world. One that makes you think about your wildest dreams and gives you the motivation to take steps to make it happen. Unfortunately, this book just didn’t do that for me. I hope it inspires others, but I guess I wasn’t the right audience.

I'll be honest. I'm really feeling the impostor syndrome right now, and I feel silly for it. Success has this way of making me second guess myself, so when Own Your Everyday showed up on my doorstep, I was genuinely thankful.

I’ve been following Jordan Lee Dooley for a couple years now, and I’ve been looking forward to her book… and wasn’t disappointed.

I am not one for cutesy, “funny” self help books. Anecdote-filled books almost always fall flat to me, but Own Your Everyday did not.

While this book is not only about impostor syndrome, it absolutely addresses the root of it. It’s divided into chapters that each address perfectionism, disappointment, shame, comparison, perfectionism, and distraction, by embracing perspective, vulnerability, compassion, prioritizing, and discipline, respectively. The book closes out with pushes to redefine identity, success, waiting, and failure.

I love Dooley’s way of continually reinstating people’s mutual humanness, especially as I can so often feel like everyone else knows Something I don’t.

I also love her repeated encouragement to remind us that we are who we are, and purpose doesn’t need to be big and sparkly; the base of everything is love and grace, and all things can flow from it.

Wherever you are, it’s okay. Wherever you are is a good place to breathe and connect to other people. Our experiences and the way our thoughts approach our experiences shape us, and we have control.

We are endlessly creating ourselves, and our purpose is always applicable to our situation- our purpose is who we are, not what we do.

And this is absolutely vital to learn. If we instead fall into the grip of perfectionism, comparison, and anxiety, ‘love is not a refuge, because it feels conditional… it warps our understanding of love… we don’t fully allow ourselves to receive love- only to earn it” (140). Priority is replaced by fear.

But how do we break out? This book is a pathway, a mantra.

One such line stands out to me: “We always live out of who we believe we are… Identity is the remedy to insecurity” (168).

Own Your Everyday is not just practical- it’s loving and it’s real.

It’s solidifying. I feel a little more myself after finishing this book, now full of underlining.

My quest for the remedies to impostor syndrome continue… I’ll see you again, soon enough.

(thanks to the publisher with giving me an advanced reading copy in exchange for an honest review. This review is also posted on my blog and elsewhere.)

Maybe I’ve been ready too much self improvement but this wasn’t my cup of tea. I felt it was relatable but very generic. I’m also over authors using “sis” and “sister” to make their writing seem more conversational. Eh.

Thanks for the free book, @waterbrookmultnomah!!

Dooley is encouraging and inviting in this book about owning your life and being who you were made to be. This book is filled with stories and helpful tips to really drive home points. I enjoyed it immensely!

This book focuses on topic of how women should face disappointment and bear burden of nonrealistic expectations.
.
Author shares her own experiences like her grandmother's life and illness, his husband's tryst with destiny and recurrent failures.
.
She emphasises fact that one should avoid perfectionism and should avoid trap of proving themselves to others. Instead one should be caring, compassionate and supportive to others.

.You should enjoy the process and not the result. And sometimes one should go on even if dreams are partially worked out.

.
Book teaches that struggles are part of life and demolition is necessary for rebuilding one's life.

Writing is simple and engaging but fluency is lagging at few points.

What I liked is use of familiar settings and relatable stories to which everyone can get attached.
.
I liked the quote that," one can't be 99% free and call it freedom".
.
.Nice book to learn few things about pupose of life.

Thanks edelweiss plus for review copy.

I want to preface this by telling you that while I'm not here to impose my faith on you, I'm also not going to hide it from you. So if this makes you uncomfortable, well, maybe that's good. Growth comes when we leave our comfort zones. ~Own Your Everyday, pg 98

I've been following Jordan on Instagram for some time and enjoy her Podcast as well. I appreciate her energetic presentation, positive perspective, and practical suggestions. When I signed up to be part of the launch team for her book, my biggest concern was that it would be too fluffy. You know, another "love yourself and just embrace yourself for who you are" message. Not that I'm pro-insecurity or anti-confidence. But it's a lie that the tools to fix those problems are internal. Only God has the cure. Which is why I appreciated the quote above. Jordan writes a practical book that works for the mainstream market, but doesn't gloss over the need for God in the process. It's not a Christian self-help book or women's devotional with Bible quotations on every page, but that's okay because it doesn't pretend to be such. I'm grateful that Jordan manages to write to a wide audience without apologizing for acknowledging the need for God to be central in our search for purpose.

Jordan also does't embrace the message that confidence comes from just loving yourself the way you are without changing a thing.

When life doesn't seem so easy, our anthem can become, "It's okay--good even--to be messy." It's almost as if we say, "Well, if I can't be perfect, I'll swing in the opposite direction and quit trying." That's not the best response either. In fact, it can be irresponsible. That mentality draws us just as far from our purpose as perfectionism does. ~Own Your Everyday, pg 145"

In conclusion, this is not as scripture heavy or doctrinally dense as the Christian self-development books I typically read. But I don't think it's meant to be, and I don't think that's a problem. Jordan achieves her goal of offering practical, approachable advice on finding purpose in a world with a lot of options screaming for our time and energy.

I began to wonder if maybe God doesn't give us answers because He dares us to spend less time trying to figure out what we're doing and more time having faith in what He's doing. ~Own Your Everyday, pg 81

As Christian gals, I think we always need to be careful with books like this to avoid becoming too self-focused. We should always be looking to God, not self, for purpose. Knowing more of who He is will always be a better pursuit than learning more about who we are. But as far as books on this subject go, I think Jordan gives her readers a fantastic leg up on keeping that focus in the right place. So, yeah. Go ahead and read this book. As the subtitle says, "Overcome the pressure to prove and show up for what you were made to do." Just don't let your focus become skewed in the process. ;)

NOTE: I received a complementary advanced-reader-copy of his book from Waterbrook Multnomah.

It was okay, the kind of book you would expect to be self-published. I wouldn't recommend it unless you're already a follower of Jordan online. Otherwise, she's just an ordinary person talking about her life and offering suggestions for how to live yours.

There are at least two places in the book where Jordan reminds us of a particular quote she's fond of, but she couldn't be bothered to find out the author of her favorite quotes and accredit them accordingly in her book. To me, that's just as bad as plagiarism.

”You can’t do all things well; you can’t give your best in a few things if you’re striving to be the best in all things. You are a human being, not a human doing.”

When I heard that Jordan was coming out with a book, I knew I just had to get it on release day! I ADORE her podcast and have always looked up to her in many ways.

In short, I could’ve highlighted this entire book. It was beyond GOOD. The writing was so conversational and I felt like I was talking to an old friend. The stories were engaging and relatable. The chapter on perfectionism especially spoke to me (any type 1’s out there?) This book came at just the perfect time in my life when I needed it the most!

I’m looking forward to continue listening to Jordan’s podcast and drawing inspiration from her. Can’t wait for her next book!

*Book release in May of 2019

I was blessed enough to receive an ARC of this amazing and beautiful book. I found Jordan through YouTube and eventually Instagram. I absolutely adore hearing her tech the Word and her take on topics. So when I heard she had a book coming I was ecstatic!

I love how Jordan dove into tough topics that other books may not. It went deep into issues and I love that in a book. It also kept the easy-to-read-and-understand nature that Jordan writes like in her Instagram and speaks on her YouTube videos.

In one of the chapter near the end of the book Jordan talks about redefining your “success” and what it means to you. That instead of writing an entire book and calling that your success, make your success 1,000 words a day. Being off your phone by 7pm. Etc. I loved that! I feel like it creates more positive in one’s daily life— and don’t we all need more of that good stuff?!

Overall I adored this book and highly, highly recommend it! It would make a great Bible study for you and friends at church or coworkers! It’s easy to read (which I love in non-fiction books!) and goes deep into topics.

Solid five stars

Just finished an advanced copy of this book, IT WAS SO GOOD!
Jordan is so relatable, this book read like a conversation with her. I felt as she was right next to me, speaking truth directly to my heart.
What I liked most about this book is the implementable advice Jordan gives. She shares her own stories and actually gives tips and actions we can do to help us own our everyday.
This book is a must read for every woman!

I got the advanced readers copy from WaterBrooks and Multnomah. I just want to say I love this book! Jordan is such a passionate writer, podcaster, and influencer. I love how real and honest she is. I love how she can be funny and she is so creative. Highly recommend her book!

This is a must read: At first I wasn't sure I was going to find to much value in this book. Sounded like many of the other books out there, however I kept reading and WOW!!! It was as if Jordan and I were living the same life. Her struggles with body image and food in college. I remember in high school I was obsessed with the scale and food so much so I became anorexic. Back then we didn't talk about these issues, its a shame that so many of us feel this way and think that we are alone. This book is proof we are not. Jordan is real and raw about the dreams and plans she and her fiancé at the time had for their life. We can't live life without a backup plan. When plan A fails and we have no plan B we can get lost in the disappointment. What really spoke to me though was our need to base everything on performance. If I am not the best at everything I will not be loved, therefore I have to please everyone in order to be loved. I lived this way for 25 years until I finally realized my perfectionism was not serving me, it was hindering me. I had lost myself because I was so busy being everything to everyone. I love what she said, "faithfulness in the small things trumps striving for flawlessness in all things." I think we to often fall into the trap of comparison. Jordan nails this and helps to lay out a plan to avoid the comparison trap that only leads to negativity and is not self serving or healthy. I think that we as a society have all fallen victim to this. We could all take note and become a better society if we quit comparing ourselves, our life, our dreams to others and lived our best life while cheering for others to succeed. I will be purchasing a copy for all of the women in my life. I think that we all struggle and can relate on some level to the points in this book. If you can't I guarantee you know someone who can. She has really touched on how we can, "Own Your Everyday"!

THIS BOOK. Every woman needs to read this. I have never read a “self-help” book more well written, encouraging, easy to understand, positive and relatable ever!! It was so good. I’m processing all the wisdom that was packed into it 😱 I also highlighted about half the book and it takes a lot for me to highlight books, but I just had too! YOU NEED TO READ THIS BOOK

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".

Thanks to NetGalley for a complimentary copy. A favorable review was not required. All opinions are my own.

I couldn't get very far into this book. It's just....so....saccharine and trite. We live in an age where impossibly thin, wealthy white women with long hair styled in beachy waves and with no formal training in this topic are telling us how to live our "best lives".

This book feels like Rachel Hollis wrote it, right down to the repeated calling of the reader "Sis". And here's the thing: if you are a thin, moderately wealthy, white woman who is not sure what direction to take your life because it has slipped into the mundane, then this might be the book for you.

I am a middle-aged, chubby, white mom, raising five kids, one of whom has cancer. There are a lot of women and moms in this world who are struggling to get by while facing mounting medical bills, housing bills, life crisis, illness, death of loved ones, mental illness, etc. We have more critical things to do than "finding our bliss".

Those factors make reading books like this a little bit hard to stomach. Right around the time the author told a story of feeling awkward at a college sorority party because she was wearing "a puffy coat" compared to the "sleek coat" all the other college girls were wearing—I realized this book was not for me.

I received an ARC of this book from Netgalley in exchange for my honest feedback.

I can’t believe how many people give this book a good review. Unbelievable! Full of simple advice.
I don’t know if I didn’t enjoy it because I am a reader, and all of those simple advise I already knew.
It was hard to even finish the book and not because it was hard to ready because it wasn’t at all but because it’s mindless and yet again I will say SIMPLE!
One goof thing did cake out of the book for me, now so know why so many people write books because anybody can. Ps. A clear picture of a Instagram blogger that people put on high up for nothing.

There are some books that we do not want to end, and “Own Your Everyday” was one of those books for me! At first, I was thinking that maybe this book was more geared towards younger readers: teens and college students who were still figuring out which direction that they want their lives to go in. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I could really connect to many parts of this book, and I found plenty of truths that applied to my life as a 32 year old mama with an established career.

Reading this book felt a lot like having a conversation with a dear friend. Jordan writes in a very real and down to earth way, and her words were very encouraging to women in many different stages of life. My main take away from the book was to not just sit around and wait for the perfect circumstances, but go out into the world and live a life of purpose NOW. Do not be a perfectionist who thinks you are a failure if life does not go a certain way. Instead, live a life where your purpose is to love others well, and let any failures instead become a learning experience.

Some quotes that stood out to me from the book include:

“You cannot live your purpose if you if you are so preoccupied with with trying to make it look like someone else’s.”

“Stop waiting for someday or one day to be more disciplined, take a tiny step toward your dream, or try new things. You’ll get stuck living for one day. Start right here, in your everyday. You never know what amazing things it could bring.”

“You won’t even be happy when you get to where you’re going if you don’t learn to love your imperfect, everyday life now.”

“I hope you do big things and go after your wildest dreams. But guess what? You cannot do the big, cool, extraordinary things until you learn to show up for the not so cool, everyday things. There is no way around that.”

I would recommend this to any woman from high school age on up who feels that this message resonates with them. I was blessed to receive an advanced reader’s copy of this book from the publisher, Waterbrook and Multnomah, in exchange for my honest review.

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.

Thanks for the free ARC, WaterBrook & Multnomah

First I want to say this is NOT your typical motivational, self-help book. In fact, it's kinda the opposite of what I think of when I think of self-help books written by successful online business women. Jordan talks about taking the pressure off of yourself to do big things and instead encourages you to be intentional with and find purpose in your normal everyday life.

One major thing I love about Own Your Everyday is that every chapter tells a personal story or describes a situation that the reader can identify with. Then gives actual action steps to overcome the issue. Jordan presents these steps in a simple list first and then explains each step further. Jordan gives tangible help in all these situations rather than just throwing in inspirational quotes and saying things like "listen to God's will for your life" (which can often be hard to hear).

So basically I would recommend this book to ANY woman in ANY stage of life! It's a breath of fresh air. It's a different perspective on life and the pressures we face today. And it's all presented in the context of faith and love.

I just finished 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!

In Own Your Everyday Jordan Dooley tells stories of imposter syndrome, finding her own purpose where she least expected it, and relying on God in a relatable way. From navigating grief and loss, finding her purpose while pledging a sorority in college, struggling with self image and an eating disorder, to relying too heavily on herself and too little on God, Jordan gives relatable real life examples of things that many young women go through. She takes it a step further and gives helpful, applicable and relatable advise and encouragement in finding purpose in the highs and lows of life.

If you are a woman, young or old, struggling with figuring out what you are meant to do, where you are meant to be, or feel utterly alone in your journey, this is the book for you!

**Received a free digital advanced copy- Opinions expressed are solely mine & are totally true**
This book was like a huge sigh of relief. With so many messages out there telling us to do literally ALL THE THINGS, I truly appreciated Jordan's take on all of it.
She is like a friend you're meeting for coffee, who gives you a warm hug, but expects you to bring a notebook & a pen because she is serious about you owning your everyday! I loved the practical advice she gives. Where she doesn't just throw more on your plate, but actually encourages getting rid of distractions and this HUGE pressure to prove.
Truly as a woman in my mid30s, I wasn't sure this bright, bubbly young woman was going to relate to me, but relate she did and very well. This is a book that all women, through any stage of life can benefit from. Get your copy & don't be surprised if you breathe a huge sigh of relief, too!!

I’ve been following Jordan on social media for quite awhile now both on Instagram where she shares her life and her shop soulscripts and YouTube where she often does sermon-esque chats and videos. I love her passion for women, especially young women, and how passionate she is about God and helping others. She reads the audiobook herself so I opted to read it via that medium and I’m so glad I did. I’s recommend this one if you need an uplifting read that is also very relatable on so many levels.

Guys, I want to be Jordan Lee Dooley's friend. She is very fun and relatable. She often refers to the reader as "sis" which I think is a very personal touch to the book. She is honest about her faith, and foundation in Jesus, but isn't overtly pushy about the gospel. Out of all of Jordan's content that I consume this isn't my favorite piece, I'm a big fan of her podcast and instagram feed! I feel like there was a lot to cover in a short book which held it back from going too deep. However, it was a quick, easy, and motivational read!

This book was amazing. I received the ARC of it and was so thankful that I did! The way that it is written I felt like Jordan was talking directly to me. I knew what she was writing about and I had been in similar situations as a woman.
Often times I feel like I need to have it all figured out and I love that this book basically tells you that you don’t! There’s no time limit on when you accomplish things.
One major takeaway for me was to stop picking yourself apart! All too often we do that and the way Jordan talks about it in the book really resonated with me.
If you’re looking for a book to fire you up about life then grab this sister. You won’t be disappointed

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, but she changed my life direction.

This may seem a bit extreme that a “self-help” book could actually help, but I guarantee that one story or piece of advice will resonate with you. I highlighted at least one sentence per page. I cried during several chapters which spoke right to my heart. Even if you say you don’t read self-help books, I recommend picking this one up. Own Your Everyday is life-changing, not just self-help.

I love how Jordan writes to you as friend! Her first chapter starts by putting things into perspective of what real life is and is a reality check to not put other people on a pedestal because of their following or title. Jordan has such a way with taking stories from her own life and bringing us right there with her and sharing what we can learn from it.

She speaks the truth in love and makes you second guess your insecurities. I love how everything comes back to the purpose of who we are and why we are here and how to let go the pressure to prove ourselves.She doesn’t sugar coat things and you feel understood by her relatable stories. It was so powerful when she drew a connection between her struggle with cystic acne and how our insecurities stem from what’s going on inside because it’s not something you would want to think about but she meets you there and provides truth to encourage and help you rethink things. It’s so easy to build walls around ourselves and create an ideal image for who we are but it always comes back to what’s going on in our hearts.

Jordan helps you uncover struggles and lies you are believing and encourages you to work through them.

What an absolutely amazing book! I highly recommend it. So full of wisdom and truth!
