#511 Jamie Ivey - "You Be You"

Join Alisa in an interview with Jamie Ivey about daily life, Jesus, family and her new book, You Be You.  In the book, You Be You: Why Satisfaction and Success Are Closer Than You Think, Jamie Ivey, bestselling author and host of the popular “The Happy Hour with Jamie Ivey” podcast, insists that living faithfully in the here and now is the key to an abundant life. She encourages women to turn to God – and away from social media feeds – to discover their purpose and direction. “We’ve all seen motivational posts on social media that say things like, ‘Girl, you got this’ and ‘You control your destiny,’” says Ivey. “These ideas are super motivating, but they’re shallow and unsustainable. They are not capable of bringing lasting hope and peace to someone’s life or powerful enough to help us overcome real-life struggles. I want women to know that the One who made them has the days of their lives already numbered, planned, and written.” In You Be You, Ivey draws from her personal experiences to encourage women in a way that’s charming, relatable, and relevant. She wants women to know that making their mark on the world doesn’t happen by mimicking someone else’s life or calling. An abundant life is closer than they think; they just need to know how to take hold of it.
