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

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.

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 wh ...more

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.

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!

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

”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 eng ...more

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!

Jordan Lee Dooley is all around amazing. Her words really speak to her audience and it feels as if we are talking across from each other in a coffee shop. She is so real and is touching so many hearts with this book. I feel like I'm finally ready to own my everyday!

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!
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 ba ...more

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 boo

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.

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

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 he

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.

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.

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, appli

**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 thro ...more

4 stars!
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 ...more

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 wa

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 ...more

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.

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.

You can let life happen to you, or you can live your life with purpose. It is up to you. But it isn’t easy. What is getting in the way of you living out your purpose in life? Jordan Lee Dooley shares things that have kept her from living her full purpose and explores other common hiccups we face in this life, ultimately encouraging readers to overcome and live the life of purpose God has called us to.

I wanted to love this book because I’ve been following Jordan for awhile and her captions, resources, etc have been such a light. She’s a relatable, down to earth gal.
But this book was three too many “I’m going to get deep with you” without getting very deep for me. This book was like a ton of her instagram captions strung together, which on their own are great little pops of insight. But I just wanted more out of this book.

I'm not entirely sure why I didn't connect with this book. I expected to- after all, I've been following her since her soul scripts days and her posts always seem to contain a timely word for me. But instead if raving about how amazing it is, I've found myself struggling to finish it.
The whole experience felt like I was sitting in a room with her and she was talking past me. I kept trying to turn around and see who she was talking to, but of course there was no one else there. Every once in a wh ...more
