SHE with Jordan Lee Dooley

If you’ve ever wanted to write a book, you’ve probably asked the question: how do I actually publish my book? While working with a traditional publishing company is what many people think of, it’s not the only option. Self-publishing is another way to get your book into the world - and it comes with a lot of benefits. But what’s the difference between traditional publishing and self-publishing? An...

The Bible often talks about our role in taking care of the orphaned and widowed. And these verses have led many people to care for children through the process of adoption. But how else can we answer the call to help the vulnerable around us? What does that look like today and what role can we play? Let’s be honest. It can feel scary and overwhelming to know how to help at-risk families, but this...

When walking through adversity, it can be easy to fall into a negative or victim mindset. After all, everything seems to be working against you, and sometimes it feels like there’s nothing to do but spiral downward. Ever been there? 🙋‍♀️ But if we can take a step back, we may find that the adversity in our life presents an opportunity for growth and connection. Still, you may be wondering… how do...

When a friend or family member is hurting, it can be difficult to know what to say. Have you ever been in that situation? 🙋‍♀️ You want to help and support them, but maybe you still find yourself unsure of what to say. Or maybe you have a habit of using common cliches like “everything happens for a reason” (which BTW, often end up doing more harm than good). Even though you have good intentions a...

Have you ever struggled to find adult friendships? 🙋‍♀️ Maybe you’ve just moved, you’re in a busy season of life, or you’re an introvert who has a hard time starting a conversation.

Or maybe you’re walking through a difficult season that has made it difficult to maintain your current friendships....

Have you ever scrolled through Instagram only to see a bunch of ladies who are killing it in their business, ministry, or home life? Maybe you’ve been wanting to start a business or side hustle, but feel like your work can’t compare to all those IG accounts you’re looking at. Or maybe it just seems like everyone has it all together except for you (hint: they don’t). The truth is that comparison ca...

Have you ever dreamed of starting a side hustle? Maybe you want to make extra money for your family while still having some flexibility or perhaps you just want to use your talents and passions in a new way.

Have you ever wondered how to live out your faith at work or in a professional setting? Maybe you’re creating a biz and questioning if you should market it as a Christian business, or you’re starting a side hustle, but you feel like charging a certain amount of money is greedy.

Have you ever scrolled through Instagram and compared yourself to others, believing they’re more beautiful, healthy, or successful than you? Maybe you start to think that in order to be more like them, you need to eat less, workout more, change your appearance or hustle more. And maybe in the process, you forgot how to support, love, and nourish the body you’re in. In this episode, Jordan talks wi...

When asked what you do, have you or someone you know said: “I’m just…”? Maybe you’ve identified yourself as “just a teacher” or “just a stay-at-home mom.” But perhaps it’s time to drop the word “just” from your vocabulary and stop minimizing your work. In this episode, Jordan has an honest talk about the problem with downplaying your work and how to acknowledge the value of what you do. Grab your...

In a world that constantly tells us to do more and be more, and that encourages us to pay attention to the lives of hundreds of people on social media, life can quickly become exhausting. We all too often hit our capacity, get stretched too thin, and lose connection to who and what’s truly important. And our physical, emotional, and spiritual health suffers. In this episode, Jordan talks with Beth...

Did you know that there are over 10,000 ingredients used in cosmetic and personal care products? And only 13% of them have been reviewed for safety. Many of the ingredients that have been reviewed have shown to have a multitude of harmful effects on women’s health. So how are you supposed to navigate the products we use and the ingredients in them? Jordan answers that question in this episode as s...

When most people think about healthy living, they tend to think about eating whole foods, getting macronutrients like proteins and fats, and taking the right vitamins. And while those are all important aspects of health, minerals are often overlooked. Minerals play a huge role in our health and yet many women don’t realize that they may be struggling with mineral imbalances. So in this episode, Jo...

Let’s be honest. There is a LOT of overwhelming information out there about choosing cleaner products and cultivating a healthier home. It feels like there are a million wellness accounts on IG, a hundred products that need to be swapped, an equal number of companies that claim to have “safer” products, and a ridiculous amount of harmful ingredients to learn. So what’s a girl to do? How can you na...

In a world that tells you to have it all, but also have everything in your life perfectly balanced, it can be easy to feel exhausted, or feel like you’re not doing enough. But what if life was less about “having it all” and more about knowing what’s enough? What if it’s less about perfectly balancing everything and more about blending the areas of your life together? In this episode, Jordan talks...

Did you know there's more to money management than budgeting and saving?  In fact, taking a holistic approach to finance, one that takes into account your habits, personality, and dreams, can be way more effective than just putting together a spreadsheet of what you spend each month. So in this episode, Jordan talks with holistic financial coach Alejandra Rojas about how to manage money, get out o...

Did you know that your period is considered a vital sign? It can say just as much about your overall health as your temperature or blood pressure. And yet so many women have struggled with period issues  and have come to think that pain, PMS symptoms, a lack of a period, or other problems are normal. In this episode, Jordan talks with naturopathic doctor, women’s health advocate, and author Lara B...

When something goes wrong in your life, do you ever catch yourself looking to the left and right, noticing that everyone around you seems to have it easier? And then do you think, Ugh, why me? Why is this happening to me?  Besides the “why me?” question, other lies can take root in your life — maybe through thoughts like these: This will never work out the way I hope or It’s just not going to happ...

When you’re in a season full of disappointment, unmet expectations, or waiting, one of the best things you can do is to look for ways to use this time, and this season, to grow and make the most of where you are. You can volunteer, learn something new, find a hobby, or finish a project you’ve been putting off. In this episode, Jordan explores one way you can make the most of where you are right no...

Sometimes the thing that we have been dreaming of, or something that was so good in our life, goes really wrong, really fast. The guy you thought you’d marry suddenly breaks up with you. Your dream job turns out to be more of a nightmare as you navigate a toxic work environment. Or your health seems to improve, but then takes a turn for the worse. The dream you had soon becomes a nightmare loop th...

When is the last time you had fun just to have fun - when you actually scheduled time to enjoy your hobby? Maybe you’ve got a never-ending to-do list and a hobby seems like a luxury you don’t have time for. Or maybe you find it difficult to pick up new things because you hate the feeling of being an amateur. In this episode, Jordan chats with podcast host and author Annie F. Downs about the import...

Have you ever felt like you’re *almost* to where you want to be? Maybe you’ve told yourself that if you just hit a certain level in your career, meet your person, build a family, buy that home, or heal your skin, THEN you’ll be happy and complete. But when you think like that, the finish line will just keep moving because there will always be something more that needs to happen before you can be s...
