SHE with Jordan Lee Dooley

Have you ever felt guilty, or uncomfortable, about a decision you made because someone made a comment once, maybe even in your childhood, that made you feel like it was bad? Maybe you said “no” to someone who asked you to help out with something, and you felt selfish. Or maybe you didn’t respond back to someone immediately and you found yourself apologizing to them for not being available. Or perh...

Have you ever heard someone say that women tend to make emotional decisions? Or maybe you’ve been told that women have to act like men in order to be an effective leader. These are just a couple of the myths we’re often told about how a woman’s brain works. While it’s true that women’s brains work differently than men, there are still a lot of misconceptions about what that really looks like. So i...

If anyone has ever told you, or even just made you think, that a virtuous godly woman is not an absolute boss, they might have left out some really important information. Chances are, you’ve probably heard about the traits of a virtuous woman described in Proverbs 31, so you know that she’s described as wise, faithful, and generous. She honors her husband, takes care of her family, and helps the p...

Have you ever struggled to find confidence during a difficult season? Perhaps you’re trying to muster it up in your own strength, but you’re falling short.

Or maybe you’re struggling to have confidence in God’s will and timing for your life, but you don’t know how to move past the fear and...

Chances are, you’ve probably heard the term “BPA” thrown around a lot. You might have noticed on your grocery run that certain bottles or even cans advertise that they’re “BPA-free” or you might have come across an article about the dangers of BPA while you were researching something. Maybe you heard about it and rolled your eyes because it seems like everything nowadays causes health issues and,...

“Okay, sure, I can get that work done tonight.” “I can babysit - that’s not a problem.” “Of course I can help out with that. I’ll just move some things around.” “That’s my one night off, but I can volunteer.” Have you ever found yourself saying “yes” to something, even when you’re already at your capacity? If you have a big heart for helping others and making a difference, you’ve probably found yo...

Have you ever felt like there’s an underlying message in society that you have to find your passion, build a great career, be a rockstar, and manage to have a family all at the same time (and all by the time you’re 30)? The problem with this message is that it often leads women to feel like they’re somehow behind in life, and causes us to juggle too many things at once, leading to burnout. If that...

Have you ever been told that your standards are “too high” or that you have unrealistic expectations? Let’s be honest, sometimes it can be really difficult to tell the difference between having high standards (whether they’re for relationships, work, or even your health) and having unrealistic expectations. While high standards can be great to have, if they start to turn into unrealistic expectati...

Does this sound familiar? You know you want to start eating healthier so you can prioritize your health and show up fully for your work, family, and community.

You don’t even know what to do anymore. Do you eat th...

Have you ever had someone tell you to just stop caring what other people think? 🙋 ♀️ Maybe they told you to go for your dreams and ignore other people’s comments, advice, or opinions. While there is some truth to that advice, it can make people think that NO opinions matter. Instead of not caring what ANYONE thinks, we should learn to care about what the RIGHT people think. In this episode of the...

Sustainability sounds great in theory, but it can feel impossible to put into practice. In a world where “eco-friendly” is trending, how do you even differentiate between products that are actually good for the earth, versus those that aren’t? Is it even possible to become a more conscious consumer without breaking the bank? And does it even make a difference? It can be hard to know where to start...

Have you ever gotten to a point of complete exhaustion and stress, but blame it on a million different things... Work is just crazy right now, but when it slows down I’ll be good.

Trigger Warning: The beginning of this episode contains a depiction of sexual assault. To skip forward, go to 19:26. Most of us would probably say we fit into one of two categories when it comes to safety. We either feel like a paranoid mess 99% of the time (planning fire escape plans and accidentally spraying your friends with pepper spray) or we don’t give safety much thought (what even is peppe...

Do you ever feel behind in life? Have you ever looked around at your life and thought, “This isn’t where I thought I’d be by now”? Or do you look around at others, your sister, your cousin, your friend, the social media influencer you follow, and see all they have achieved and wonder, “What’s wrong with me?” If any of this resonates with you, then take a breath, set aside the urge to rush on to th...

Does any of this sound familiar? 🙋 ♀️ You’re determined to have the most healthy and productive routine, so you set your alarm for 5 am, roll out of bed and straight into your at-home gym to do a HIIT workout, follow it up by listening to a motivational podcast, start your work day by 8 am, eat keto and try intermittent fasting- and you keep doing it day after day. And maybe at first you even see...

Have you ever found yourself bouncing from doctor to doctor, prescription to prescription, diagnosis to diagnosis, only to feel like no one is actually taking the time to listen to you and resolve the root issue?

Do you ever feel like you’re being controlled by your stress, rather than being in control of your stress? Maybe you’ve been told you need to lower your stress, but that sounds like a tall order and you’re not sure how to do it. Or maybe stress seems inevitable and you know you can’t possibly make everything causing you stress to go away. If you’re feeling stressed just trying to figure out how to...

Do you ever wonder if it’s possible to live a Biblical life of self-denial while prioritizing your own wellness? Is self-care selfish? Sometimes it can feel like you’re being pulled in two different directions by the world and by our faith when it comes to self-love.
