Have you ever felt held back from the abundant life God promises you? Do you ever look at the satisfaction and success in other people’s lives, and wonder where yours is?
In You Be You, beloved podcast host and author Jamie Ivey reveals that the abundant life you want is closer than you think. It’s not over there in someone else’s life. No. It’s right here, right now, in your life as it already is—you just have to know how to take hold of it.
And in this book, Jamie shows you how to:
• Throw out false definitions of success
• Give up the idea that you must have someone else’s skills, talents, family, or resources to succeed
• Use the beautiful level of influence that God has given you
• Start leaving your deepest mark on the world by living your story
Are you ready to finally bloom where you’re planted? To finally free yourself to flourish? To live a life that could only be done by Him and through you? Then jump into You Be You, and you’ll find yourself satisfied and succeeding in ways you never expected.

In this encouraging work, Ivey (If You Only Knew), host of The Happy Hour podcast, guides Christian women on ways to find contentment and satisfaction by embracing the gospel. "Real satisfaction, real success, comes from doing what YOU do, doing it where YOU are, and doing it in faithfulness to the God who has lovingly, strategically put YOU there," she writes. Ivey posits that social media has intensified a society-wide lack of satisfaction, and directs readers to the Bible's first example of discontentment as a warning against greed: Adam and Eve. She reminds readers that strength is found through Christ and that contentment doesn't need to be based on circumstances. She warns against a "false sense of security" that often arises when things are going well, and provides examples of strong women who found passion and purpose despite adversity. Among them is LaTasha Morrison, who for years spoke out against racial justice before establishing her Be the Bridge foundation and ministry. Ivey also weaves in personal stories (a highlight being her appreciation of her grandparents' legacy of faithfulness) that work nicely alongside her accessible scriptural lessons. Readers of Rachel Hollis should take a look.
