Embrace Your Almost

Find Clarity and Contentment in the In-Betweens, Not-Quites, and Unknowns

De: Jordan Lee Dooley

Narrado por: Jordan Lee Dooley

Not quite where you expected to be? You’re in good company. Now the bestselling author of Own Your Everyday helps you navigate unmet expectations, waiting, and uncertainty with confidence and clarity.

“If you are like me and need practical steps, hard-won wisdom, and a friend to help lead the way into a new season of promise, this redirection resource is what you need.”—Lysa TerKeurst, #1 New York Times bestselling author and president of Proverbs 31 Ministries

Jordan Lee Dooley knows firsthand how frustrating it can be when you almost achieve a goal, almost reach a dream, and almost get to where you want to be, only to land just short of the finish line or watch it all fall apart at the last minute.

Unmet expectations have a way of making us rethink everything. But perhaps rethinking dreams is not always the worst thing. Why? Because it’s in those moments, when you’re not where you expected to be, that you have a chance to pause and consider what matters most to you as well as redefine what success looks like for you in a world that’s constantly telling you what you should want or should do.

Believe it or not, it is possible to cultivate a life you really like—and one where you can succeed—in the tension of the middle, between where you started and where you hoped to be. Discover:

• Practical steps to move forward when your plans don’t go according to plan
• How to clarify which goals are right for you to pursue
• What to do when dreams seem to come true for everyone but you
• The unexpected gains that can arise from unwanted pain
• How to know when it’s time to let go of a dream—and what to do with the space left behind

Life is filled with unmet expectations, disrupted dreams, uncertainty, and in-between seasons. As hard as those experiences may be, they also offer a unique invitation to align your dreams and goals with what matters most. Learn how you can gain greater clarity about what you truly want, why you want it, and how to begin pursuing it.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“We all know what it feels like to have an expectation of what we hoped our life would look like, only to have it veer off onto a different path. In times like these, we need some help keeping our eyes up as we move forward. That’s exactly what Jordan Lee Dooley does for us in Embrace Your Almost. If you are like me and need practical steps, hard-won wisdom, and a friend to help lead the way into a new season of promise, this redirection resource is what you need.”—Lysa TerKeurst, #1 New York Times bestselling author and president of Proverbs 31 Ministries

“Rather than reinforcing the pervasive shoot-for-the-moon rhetoric that our boss babe culture pushes, Jordan is a part of the resistance. Her book Embrace Your Almost tactically guides us on how to redefine success so that we can faithfully steward the good that God sends our way. This book heralds the message that this generation desperately needs.”—Amanda Pittman, founder of Confident Woman Co.

“Whether we’ve had the wind knocked out of us when a dream fails or we are finally breathing deeply after we release a dream that wasn’t right, Jordan guides us with compassion and clarity to liking—or at least making peace with—our lives long before we reach the celebratory finish lines. Embrace Your Almost champions a life that is always under construction instead of one only satisfied at a completion that never truly comes. Jordan intimately invites us to join her in the space between disappointment and possibility, heartbreak and hope—whether in our home, motherhood, career, or faith. She reminds us that a life of almosts is one in which we’re endlessly striving and never celebrating the fact that where we are today may in fact be beautiful enough, if only we see it through her lens.”—Hilary Rushford Collyer, host of the You’re Welcome podcast

A book with REAL life stories

This was such a raw and moving book. The author does not sugar coat the realities of life. She did a great job of keeping it honest and being encouraging at the same time. If you’re going through a trial or you have goals for yourself, this book is for you.

Another wonderful book by Jordan

I follow Jordan on social media so I am familiar with some of these items happening that are discussed. But there is so much more that she gives us. I like the game plan idea of the boot camp. Even focusing on a few things a day as we try to mentally work through and get passed a hard time in our lives. I continue to look forward to Jordan releasing more books.

Heartwork

I really enjoyed listening to this - exactly what I needed. Thank you for sharing your story Jordan.

Good

It was good. For someone who isn’t too into the judeo-Christian outlook, just changing “god” to “the gods” it had a lot of good insight,

So great!

Jordan is such a story-stealing queen. Her conversational writing is so appealing and easy to understand while also being deeply full of content. She’s so helpful in this writing in sharing life experiences and giving the best advice.

Don’t think, just buy it!

If you’re in an “almost” season of life, this is the book for you. I’ve listened to Jordan Lee Dooley’s podcast & read her first book & hands down this is her best work. Love that she shared her real, raw & relatable life struggles as well as gives tips that have helped her along the journey. I’m not sure if she reads reviews, but if so - Jordan, this book is beyond amazing! Exactly what I needed for this season of life. Keep doing what you’re doing.

Encouraging

This book really helped validate my feelings and made me feel less alone in my waiting season. I will definitely be relistening to it on days when I need encouragement in the future.

Helped me so much!!

I've been going through so many health battles and illness on my body that listening to this book while trying to gain strength and energy to do things on the daily...it was beyond helpful! 😭 I've been praying for strength and just knowing that some things we face in life... others do too makes the walk of life less difficult. ♥

Absolutely Needful

I resonated so much with the stories and found the practical steps valuable. Thank you.

Loved It!

Thank you for having the courage to share your experiences and your heartbreak. My story is similar, and these stories don’t get told enough. You are inspiring and this book is powerful. Thank you!
