SHE with Jordan Lee Dooley

If you haven’t heard, we recently welcomed our son into our family, who came into our lives in the most divine way. I’ve been slow to share this news because over the last few years, I’ve really leaned into the beauty of maintaining privacy and boundaries with sacred things like this. So we’ve been taking time for just our family, soaking in these special moments, before inviting the whole world in. But I think it’s time to share this story and we wanted to do so in a podcast episode to give it its proper space. A simple Instagram caption just wouldn’t do it justice. A little backstory: back when we were engaged and had no idea what our family-building journey would look like, we agreed that we wanted to adopt one day. Adoption was always part of our family’s “plan,” we just didn’t know the timing. That said, adoption has never been a "Plan B" or a backup plan. It’s always been something we’ve felt called to — even before we began to struggle with recurrent pregnancy loss. Then through our involvement with Safe Families, as well as through loss, we felt the Lord nudging us to open our hands and hearts to adoption early in our family-building journey. We felt God was asking us to open all the doors to building a family and to trust Him with the order of how it would all play out.So, in January 2022, we started the adoption process and in January 2023, we were blessed to bring home our son, Noah. We feel it’s important to share this story because it seems like all you ever hear is horror stories about adoption, but we truly had the most incredible experience from start to finish - and it’s important for those positive stories to be shared, too.So tune in to this episode to learn: Why we chose to pursue adoption early in our family-building journeyMore about the adoption processThe birth experience from our perspectiveOur answers to commonly asked questionsThe unexpected lessons God taught us along the wayThank you for celebrating this miracle with us. Every life is a miracle but there’s something unique and special and gospel-centered about the miracle of adoption… and we are humbled and honored that God would invite us into parenthood in this most redemptive and beautiful way. xo,Jordan and Matt Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

How many times have you heard phrases like "you'll be fine," "don't cry," "everything happens for a reason," or "it could be worse"?When working through difficult emotions or challenging circumstances like loss, breakups, illness, or family issues, it can be frustrating when we are urged to be more positive.The truth is that even amid life’s challenges, we’re often pressured into being positive. We’re told to “look on the bright side” and be happy. And sometimes we ourselves tend to be overly positive because we just want to fix a friend’s hurt and help them feel better.While optimism is important and needed, there’s also something to be said for when positivity becomes toxic and prevents us from working through difficult emotions.But how can you recognize the difference between toxic positivity and optimism? And how can you find other ways to work through negative emotions?In this episode, Jordan talks with therapist and author Whitney Goodman about what toxic positivity looks like and how we can leave space for our real feelings.Grab your headphones and tune in to this episode to learn:What toxic positivity is and what it’s notWhy silencing negativity and difficult emotions doesn’t always workHow to recognize if our positivity is toxicWays to support someone going through a hard timeHow to complain and vent effectively / in a healthy wayWays to help your child regulate their emotions instead of resorting to toxic positivityReady to dig deeper?

Have you ever heard the term EMFs (electromagnetic fields)?

No matter which view you take, as more and more studies are done, and as technology continues to advance, chances are that you’ll continue to hear more about EMFs - and you’ll probably hear differing opinions on it.But the question remains: how do they actually affect the human body and is there any research that will help us better understand this issue?In this episode, Jordan talks with her brother, Nick Wawrzyniak, a certified EMF specialist, about EMFs and what the research is showing us.He breaks everything down and answers all the questions you’ve had about the topic.If you’re ready to truly understand this issue, then tune in to this episode to learn:What EMFs are and the science behind how they affect the bodyCommon side effects that EMFS can causeWhat studies are showing about how EMFs affect reproductive health and children’s health4 reasons why it’s hard to find accurate information on EMFs (and where to find the research)3 different types of EMFs and where they are found inside and outside the homeWhat it means to remediate EMFs and why it’s better than blocking EMFsSteps you can take to protect against EMFsWant to dig deeper?

Let’s be honest. Setting boundaries is no easy task. In fact, for many people, the thought of having to set a boundary can feel downright scary. What if the other person doesn’t react well or refuses to follow the boundary you’ve set?As Christians, it can be even more challenging to set boundaries because we worry that we are unloving or selfish, or that our boundaries will get in the way of our ability to serve others.But never setting boundaries can easily lead to chaos, burnout, and unhealthy relationships.So how can we love others well while still establishing important (and needed) boundaries in our relationships?In this episode, Jordan talks with the head of Proverbs 31 Ministries and bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst about everything you need to know to set healthy boundaries as a Christian.Tune in to learn:What healthy boundaries actually look like and when to use boundariesWhy it’s unkind to NOT have boundariesThe importance of limiting how much “emotional access” we grant to people How to know when boundaries are needed and when they may hinder an opportunity to minister to someoneWhat to do when someone has a bad reaction to your boundariesHow to know when it’s time to say goodbye to an unhealthy relationshipWant to dig deeper?

In our culture today, working out has often revolved around weight loss and how we look.Instead of moving our bodies for enjoyment or for true health, we too often move our bodies as punishment for the piece of cake that we ate.But what would it look like if that changed?

Have you ever had to decide to let go of a dream or a good thing?Maybe you thought the relationship you’re in would lead to marriage or you thought the job you took was your dream job.Maybe the city you moved to isn’t a fit anymore, the home you thought you would grow old in is becoming too much work, or your schedule has become overwhelming and you can’t do it all.When we have things in our life that didn’t turn out how we thought they would, or when we take on too much at once, it often leads us to a point where we have to make a decision - and maybe even let go of something that seemed like a good thing.This can often be one of the hardest decisions to make because letting go feels a lot like giving up and you start to wonder if this makes you a quitter (psst… it doesn’t).In this episode, Jordan talks all about how to know when to let go of a good thing.
