The Heart & Hustle Podcast

If you’ve ever felt like something doesn’t sit quite right with you when it comes to the whole “girl boss culture” that’s been sweeping the world for a few years, OR if you’re feeling frustrated or discouraged with unmet expectations, this episode is about to be a BLAST of truth and fresh air for your soul today.    If you aren’t already familiar with one of our best friends, you’re about to fall in love with your new soul sister, Jordan Lee Dooley.   Today we talked with Jordan about how to handle disappointments and missed expectations in life and her journey of walking through some of her own. We then turned the conversation towards being an ambitious person and how to navigate being driven in a deep, meaningful, and sustainable way. Jordan shares her thoughts on “girl boss culture” and how to get off the hamster wheel of “more” that we can so often get trapped in.    This conversation is such a raw, relatable, and truth-filled gift and we promise you’ll walk away with more clarity, inspiration, and peace. If you’re ready to step into a more purposeful approach to setting goals and facing disappointment, this is the episode for you.    Show notes: https://theheartuniversity.com/URL Slug236-what-to-do-when-you-dont-reach-your-goals-the-pressures-of-girl-boss-culture-with-jordan-lee-dooley   The Heart Conference: www.theheartuniversity.com/conference Connect with others before the conference to plan lodging, transportation and create relationships before in our Facebook group: ​​https://www.facebook.com/groups/170106201881803/   The Lightroom Editing Challenge: www.theheartuniversity.com/challenge   Follow along with Jordan:  www.instagram.com/jordanleedooley www.jordanleedooley.com Embrace Your Almost    If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group here.   Follow along: www.instagram.com/mrslindseyroman www.instagram.com/evierupp www.instagram.com/theheartuniversity

This recording is from an interview that we did on Mary Marantz’s podcast a few months ago. It was SUCH a powerful conversation that we wanted to make sure YOU, our listeners, got to join the conversation as well. If you’ve ever struggled with imposter syndrome, how to run a business through a biblical worldview, or how to avoid falling into the trap of becoming paralyzed by fear, if ANY of that sounds like something you’d like to chat about, you’re in the right spot. In today’s conversation with Mary, we talked about everything mentioned, PLUS what to do when you feel far from the Lord, how to create content without losing yourself in the process, how to prioritize rest, how to focus on slow growth in order to create strong roots, and so much more that we PROMISE will bless your socks off today. Mary is a powerhouse entrepreneur, believer, and human being, and this episode will bless and wrecked us in so many ways and we know it’ll do the same for you. So plug-in those headphones, grab your favorite drink, and let’s sit down for a deep and beautiful heart-to-heart conversation.   Show notes: https://theheartuniversity.com/234-how-to-deal-with-imposter-syndrome-the-pressures-to-be-perfect   The Heart Conference: www.theheartuniversity.com/conference Connect with others before the conference to plan lodging, transportation and create relationships before in our Facebook group: ​​https://www.facebook.com/groups/170106201881803/   The Heart University Shop: www.theheartuniversity.com/shop   If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group here.   Follow along: www.instagram.com/mrslindseyroman www.instagram.com/evierupp www.instagram.com/theheartuniversity
