About This Episode:

With people posting the “best” and sharing the “highlight reel” of their life, it makes it pretty easy for us to think for a quick second that their life is better or as people say “the grass is greener on the other side.” And on top of that, we’re getting messages thrown at us to hustle and we might have the life they have or the one we want, if we work hard enough, if we do enough then we’ll be enough. Today’s guest, Jamie Ivey tackles these thoughts, messages and offers us something better. Jamie is also a podcast host of “The Happy Hour with Jamie Ivey”, and in today’s episode, she encourages us to turn to God and away from our feeds, if we really want to discover our purpose and direction. And good news! Her new book, “You Be You” is out for you today! We’ll talk about that, too!
