How to Survive the In-Between with Jordan Lee Dooley

Hi friend! You are in the right place! Do you feel like you are in-between seasons? Things seem to both move too fast and too slow, and you’re generally unsure of which direction to go on almost everything in your life.

My friend Jordan Lee Dooley joins me today to talk about her upcoming book and share her story and heart about what to do when you are in the “in-between.” We also discuss how broken dreams make us rethink everything. (Hello, the last two years!) 

The fantastic thing is that even the wins of our perceived failures (along with God’s love) can make you a better and happier you. I just love Jordan’s message, and I hope our conversation provides you encouragement and reassurance today.

Listen in to learn more about:

• Coming to terms when your dreams and goals don’t seem to go to plan.
• Coping with burn out and fatigue.
• The wisdom to live in the season of the  ‘middle’. 

Favorite quotes:

~ Most of our lives are actually lived in the middle, we aim for the mountain top moments and the moments where we have the victory and cross the finish line but the majority of the time of the race that we run is spent running the race and enduring the sore legs and fatigue. 

~ There is very little that we can control the outcome on, what we can control is our effort.

~ Implementing a sabbath, creating a regular rhythm of rest, consistently for a year, was helpful for us, our marriage and family. 

~ There are so many things, weeds , lies, beliefs etc that can take root in the gardens of our lives, our hearts and minds and it can feel impossible to get out but assigning them to a physical activity like decluttering a closet is representative of something that I am trying to remove from my life and allowing for good things to grow in my life. 

~ Success is not just outcome oriented, it can also be process oriented.

~ Success comes down to being content in the middle and being content in the present  while being clear about what you value so you can make intentional steps towards the future.
