Making the Wait Worthwhile | Jordan Lee Dooley
Jordan Lee Dooley is a two-time national bestselling author of Own Your Everyday and Embrace Your Almost, host of the top-rated SHE podcast, and founder of two companies: The Own It Academy and SoulScripts. Her trajectory began with a small Etsy shop in college, which quickly grew into so much more. With her books, programs, podcast, and other resources, her mission is to help women walk out their calling while prioritizing grace-based holistic living. She has been featured in places like Forbes, Inc. Magazine, USA Today, SUCCESS Magazine's 30 Under 30 List, and more. Jordan and her husband Matt are bio and adoptive parents to two boys and reside in Indiana. In this episode, Jordan shares her own story of loss and joy in her entrance into motherhood and how to dig into your faith when you don’t understand. I hope this episode serves as a vivid encouragement of God’s continued faithfulness and hope to keep trusting him in the waiting.
