I Write from Life Experience, Learned Truths, & Loving Intention.

I’ve been writing my story since childhood. I suppose my journals have been my safe place. The blank page my very private, very personal counseling room. Little did I know that one day my words would become more public, less private. I don’t mind, though, as I hope and pray that my story informs your story. We need each other because healing happens best within community. So, welcome. Be sure to join our online community and receive notifications when new materials go live (see below to enter your email).

Make today the day you choose healing.

Every single day we are given a choice: do this or do that. I believe today is YOUR day and that you’ve been led here. Living in a global pandemic has taught me that life is a lot shorter than we all think and so we must make every single day count. I’m here for you. You don’t have to walk alone. Reach out. Join the community. Let’s do this, together.

I Speak with Passion, Purpose, & Power.

We are in a post-pandemic world. Speaking events have changed and VIRTUAL MEETINGS and CONFERENCING are now a legit new normal. I’d love to meet with you and strategically plan on how we can best meet the needs of your attendees. I’ve spoken to 12 women around Lake Navaisha, Kenya and to hundreds of women sitting in conference rooms, auditoriums, and workshop settings. Each event remarkable in its own right. Empowering men and women is at the core of my passion.  Let’s create a powerful event, together. Download my Speaking Topics (PDF) to share with your planning committee or contact me and together we’ll create a strategic event for your group.

I Coach with Expertise, Empathy, & Excellence.

As a trauma-informed Board Certified Life Coach, Therapist, & Certified Practitioner in Aroma Freedom Technique, I specialize in family and faith systems, trauma recovery, spiritual formation, and emotional health/mental fitness.  I’ve worked with churches, leaders, and organizations, worldwide, providing efficient and effective personal growth/leadership tools for developing the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. I have crafted & curated The Heartlift Method and my newest book, Stronger Every Day: 9 Tools for an Emotionally Healthy You (Revell Books), offers nine strategic, intentional emotional health tools that will revolutionize every relationship in your life.

Start Your Journey.

Changing old narratives is hard work. Learning new, healthy behaviors and skills can be even harder. Need a safe space to learn self-care and get a fresh start on re-authoring your story? Join our online community committed to walking with each other on a healing journey.

Ruth Njoki, Director of Children’s Joy Village, Kenya

Your heart is big and we’ve seen all the love and passion and effort you’ve put into this retreat. It is really out of this world. We didn’t expect all of this. To laugh. To cry. It is just remarkable and we will never forget this experience. We hope it happens every year.

Janell offered me the space to ask hard questions, and helped me understand what was under those questions. We went on the journey together to more freedom, a stronger faith, and a deeper sense of clarity and healing.

Fill out the info below, and I'll send you a link to download the PDF interactive guide, "Why Am I So Angry?" I believe that if you put in the hard work + intentional application of these principles + spiritual fortitude into this healing practice, you will move into a far more meaningful life.
