Summary

Hi Friends! We’ve all gone through hard seasons in life. And some of us have even been through a season wanting to fulfill a dream or get a promotion or the family that we’ve always wanted and then not being able to get what we want when it seems like we’re almost there. In today’s episode, my guest Jordan Lee Dooley will be sharing with us some practical steps on how to navigate painful setbacks and hardships. Jordan shares how difficult experiences, waiting seasons, and our greatest disappointments can bring clarity to what we really want in life. If you find yourself frustrated because you are not where you thought you should be in life, this episode is for you. Life is filled with unmet expectations, disrupted dreams, uncertainty, and in-between seasons. Lean in and listen to how Jordan’s experiences taught her to take a long pause, audit her life, and learn how to gain greater clarity about what she truly wanted, why she wanted it, and how to begin pursuing it. Friend, if you are in a season of in-betweens, not-quites, and unknowns you are not alone. You belong to this community and we’re here for you.
