SHE with Jordan Lee Dooley

Have you ever felt like there’s an underlying message in society that you have to find your passion, build a great career, be a rockstar, and manage to have a family all at the same time (and all by the time you’re 30)? The problem with this message is that it often leads women to feel like they’re somehow behind in life, and causes us to juggle too many things at once, leading to burnout. If that sounds familiar, then this episode is just what you need. Jordan brings her mom, Linda Wawrzyniak, on to the show for a candid conversation about the pressure to do it all, learning to navigate life’s seasons, the importance of taking your time, and how to adjust in the midst of uncertainty or change. So, stretch those fingers and hit that play button to learn: How to navigate life’s seasons and the importance of taking your time The difference between doing it well vs. doing it all How complacency and contentment are different Why some people adjust to change differently The secret of making successful adjustments in life To hear more from Linda, check out her new book, Million Dollar Adjustments: The Power of Small Changes on Performance, Productivity and Peace, or visit her Instagram page @lindawawrzyniak.

Have you ever been told that your standards are “too high” or that you have unrealistic expectations? Let’s be honest, sometimes it can be really difficult to tell the difference between having high standards (whether they’re for relationships, work, or even your health) and having unrealistic expectations. While high standards can be great to have, if they start to turn into unrealistic expectations, you could be setting yourself up for a lot of unnecessary stress and pressure. But, the question is: how do you know if you’re setting high standards or clinging onto unrealistic expectations? And what can you do about it if you start to realize that you do have some unrealistic expectations? In this episode of the SHE podcast, Jordan answers all of those questions as she explores how to have high standards (without expecting perfection or adding unnecessary stress to your life). Grab those headphones and tune in to learn: The difference between having high standards and unrealistic expectations How unrealistic expectations can set you up for disappointment and unneeded stress Examples of high standards and when they can turn into unrealistic expectations How to identify when you’re starting to have unrealistic expectations

Does this sound familiar? You know you want to start eating healthier so you can prioritize your health and show up fully for your work, family, and community.

You don’t even know what to do anymore.

Have you ever had someone tell you to just stop caring what other people think? 🙋 ♀️ Maybe they told you to go for your dreams and ignore other people’s comments, advice, or opinions. While there is some truth to that advice, it can make people think that NO opinions matter. Instead of not caring what ANYONE thinks, we should learn to care about what the RIGHT people think. In this episode of the SHE podcast, Jordan takes a look at how to navigate other people’s opinions in a healthy way and stop worrying about what everyone else thinks about your goal or dream. Consider this your reminder to stop worrying about what everyone and their mother thinks and instead focus on leaning into what the right people think. Grab those headphones and hit play to learn: Why the advice to “not worry about what others think” isn’t always helpful How to determine whose advice you should listen to Ways to navigate other people’s opinions in a healthy way How to have healthy conversations when your opinions differ

Sustainability sounds great in theory, but it can feel impossible to put into practice. In a world where “eco-friendly” is trending, how do you even differentiate between products that are actually good for the earth, versus those that aren’t? Is it even possible to become a more conscious consumer without breaking the bank? And does it even make a difference? It can be hard to know where to start without feeling the pressure to throw away all of our old beauty and cleaning products, go vegan, and commit to using one square of toilet paper a day. If you’re interested in making small, simple changes, or just learning more about what sustainability really is, then this episode is for you. Tune in as J hears from Laura Wittig, CEO and co-founder of brightly.eco, a media platform that features content, community, and brand recommendations that ignite change via conscious consumerism, to learn some practical steps you can take to live a more eco-friendly life, without overhauling your entire life. You’ll learn: What sustainability really is Why sustainability doesn’t need to be expensive Gardening tips for beginners Tips for reading labels to find eco-friendly products Practical changes you can make as a consumer to live more sustainably To learn more from Laura and access her resources, check out brightly.eco.

Trigger Warning: The beginning of this episode contains a depiction of sexual assault. To skip forward, go to 19:26. Most of us would probably say we fit into one of two categories when it comes to safety. We either feel like a paranoid mess 99% of the time (planning fire escape plans and accidentally spraying your friends with pepper spray) or we don’t give safety much thought (what even is pepper spray?). At times it feels like there’s no happy middle ground, so we either live with needless anxiety or dangerous ignorance. In today’s episode, Jordan hears from Robyn Warner, a sexual assault survivor and mother of four who has taught self defense and safety to women and girls for the past 13 years. Her passion is to equip and empower women so that they can be confident and more aware, while not living overcome by fear. So get ready, because whether you’re hyper vigilant or blissfully neglectful of your safety, it’s time to get more prepared, and less scared. Tune in to learn: Why you’re not the exception when it comes to safety How to live prepared without being paranoid Tips to stay safe while dating How to yell the correct way Ways to increase your awareness to deter predators And if you want some quick practical tips to use in your everyday life, then follow Robyn @aflyonmywall to learn more from her, or go to www.safebyrobyn.com/SAFEcourse to sign up for her course and use the code “SHE” at checkout for $25 off.
