868. Jordan Lee Dooley On How To Embrace Your Almost, Make Peace With Unmet Expectations & Learn To Like “The Middle”

Jordan Lee Dooley is back to catch up on everything that’s been going on since she was last on the show for Episode 436! Jordan is a national bestselling author, speaker, founder and CEO of the Own It Academy, and host of the top-rated SHE podcast. She just came out with her latest book, Embrace Your Almost: Find Clarity and Contentment in the In-Betweens, Not-Quites, and Unknowns, which is perfect for the season of business that I’m in right now. It’s meant for the person who's like, geez, I've done everything right, and things still seem to be going wrong. Sound familiar? Because I know I can definitely relate. 

 

We discuss how to make peace with setbacks and unmet expectations, the role that adversity plays in our ability to gain clarity, and how to cultivate a life that you really like. Jordan shares some projects that have been healing and opening her mind to life outside of her business, and she offers suggestions for how other overachievers can find hobbies that they love. We touch on why it’s so important to lean into taking care of your well-being and get out of your bubble. Jordan has so much wisdom from what life is like when you’re in limbo, so listen in to hear more of her story. 

 

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

• Knowing when it’s time to let go of a good thing 
• Creating healthy boundaries
• Making the middle less miserable 
• The difference between complacency and contentment 
• Finding tangible ways to serve yourself and your community 
• The benefits of picking up a new hobby (or revisiting one that’s fallen to the wayside) 
• How to see other people’s success as inspiration for what's possible, not just a reminder of what you haven’t achieved yet
