Jordan tells stories to the reader and shares her wisdom as if she was sitting curled up on your couch in your living room. The reader becomes engaged and engrossed in her personal narrative as well as in her perspective on how to get out there and live your best life- the life that is best for you, which is not always what you or those around you thought it would be. She encourages her readers to delve deep to find their passion and then to embrace it while allowing for changes and little hiccups along the way. This would make a great gift for a friend entering a new season of life, a recent high school or college graduate heading out into the world of adulting and for anyone looking for more.

I think Dooley does a great job here by speaking honestly of her experience in self-confidence and shares helpful truths to help build that confidence yourself. I really enjoyed her voice in this book and it was very readable. If you are pretty well-read within the "Christian Women's Self-Help" sphere then not much of this material would probably be revolutionary to you; but if you are a fan of Dooley's and her message then I think you would still find this quite enjoyable. I would grab this for a weekend girl's trip or for a day at the beach.

I really love Jordan Dooley's work and how she's bringing a Christ-centered space to Instagram. This book is full of great tips to help you live out your God-given purpose. Jordan writes like a big sister and speaks with so much authority. I'm excited to press this book into the hands of everyone I know!

I loved the infectious positivity of the author that simply permeates throughout this book. She's young, however, what she says can be applied to people at any stage of life.
Do you struggle with doubt?
What about self worth?
Are you using the time that God has given you in the best way? In other words, is it time squandered or time used positively?
Are you treating others as you should?
Dooley is an excellent writer who shares approaches that make the above a part of your life.

This is a fantastic read. The author has a way of making you feel right at home. Almost like your sitting at the table with her drinking coffee. You want to hear more. Intentional purposeful living. She gives you advice to help you achieve your goals. Advice for women in all walks of life. She's a very sincere person. Sharing her story and is very honest about her life. She's fun, outgoing, and you will walk away a changed person after reading this book. I listen to her podcast and follow her on her blog. You won't regret reading this wonderful book.

Thank you to publisher and NetGalley for eARK

If you’ve read books by Rachel Hollis or Cara Alwill Leyba, you’ll enjoy this book. However I feel like this book is more relatable and kept it real throughout each chapter. With ‘self help’ books it’s hard to find something totally unique. This is it!

Excellant book, probably aimed at 20-30s age group but anyone could and can benefit from it. Jordan is open and honest about many things she faced and how she coped. Its let you see her walk with God and how that impacts her everday life. It is an easy read but with many learning points..

Def worth reading.

Feeling down and out and without purpose? This book addresses today's common, basic issues that hinder us from owning our daily lives. Not only does it point out the difficulties we go through, it also gives us practical and relevant steps to empower every women around the world.

I really enjoyed reading this book because it was very down to earth and in no way offensive as the author shares her own life experiences which also made it very comprehensible. It was easy to understand and grasp each concept which begin to shift my paradigm on how I see life.

In this whole book, the author emphasises on intentional purposeful living while not forcing readers to figure out what to do with our lives. Instead, the author encourages us to live a life that serves God and people. As long as we are doing that, we can find purpose in everything we do.

After reading this book, I've started listening to Jordan's podcast. I love how she makes everything so real and gives practical steps to Own Our Everyday. I would definitely recommend this book to all women out there.

I didn't enjoy this as much as I thought I would. The lessons were good - but I feel like the title of the book and the story told didn't live up to my expectations.

Choose to show up. Love God. Love People. These are the three themes Jordan walks us through in "Own Your Everyday". Her story feels like a conversation with a friend. One that breathes truth in both the easy and not so easy experiences of everyday life. I would definitely recommend for a reader looking for a breath of fresh air, an encouraging word, and an honest truth!

Relatable and Ecouraging!

This book gives practical advice to women in all different walks of life on how to embrace their everyday life instead of waiting for life to get better.

Dooley is candid and sincere in her own stories about life that make her easy to relate to.

Own Your Everyday is such a REAL life view on how you can be your best self. Jordan's voice is so honest and relatable. As a woman, its so easy to lose sight of yourself and what you want to do with your life and this book is a great reminder that we can and should be our best self and accomplish the things we set out to do.

Initially skeptical, but ultimately enjoyed

I was a little unsure about this book when I first got it because I thought it would be geared more towards high school/college/recent graduate women. Although there were some parts that definitely catered to that age group, overall I feel like there were some great messages that all women should read, regardless of their age. I appreciated some of the concrete steps that she provided to help dig deeper into your purpose, and will likely reread this book again in the future.
