EVERY LIFE HAS TWO STORIES:
the one you live
and another that explains why some things don't make sense.
Identify the missing pieces in your life story so you can turn those experiences into meaningful creative work that brings hope to others.
Get insights from Janel delivered to your inbox weekly and a free copy of her resource Five Steps to Share Hope for Your Story.
I’ve always believed that each of us has something we can share that will bring hope to someone else.
As a writer, editor, mentor, and transformational coach, I help women reclaim their voice and tell the stories that shaped their lives. I show them how to uncover the hidden patterns, cycles, and circumstances that keep them stuck. When they learn to recognize their real story, they gain the power to change direction: of the life they're living and how their message inspires others. Then they can finally identify the missing pieces and translate their experiences into meaningful creative work.
"A dream is a wish your heart makes."
"My heart dreamed up a way to help patients advocate for their needs, but my vision and messaging were just that... a dream and a wish. Working with a true fairy godmother helped transformed my empty words, random ideas, and even my fears, into action."
Stacie Lampkin
"Janel was the perfect coach for me. Her insights, curious questions, and encouragement helped me dig long and hard after our meeting to discover the "Golden Thread" woven through the four topics I write on. My heart overflows with thankfulness for the gems she helped me uncover."
Kristin Emily Friend

TRANSFORM YOUR STORY.
Reclaim your story, find your voice, and begin writing your next chapter.
Each of us was born into someone else's story. We inherit a parent's eyes, grandparent's smile, an auntie's sense of humor, and a culmination of the choices made by the generations before us. Those characteristics came bathed in family principles, philosophy, morals, ethics, faith, and the reward for playing the part assigned to us, or, censor when we didn't. Every detail of our compliance, or rebellion, shaped us into the women we are now.
The experiences we had along the way became Our Story. When we showed up, followed the rules, gave our all, and was left broken in places, stuck, and confused, clarity went out the window. We looked for answers in the obvious details but rarely found them. That's because the truth of our story is rarely spoken aloud but it still calls to our soul and the content we long to create.
If you've ever wondered: Why doesn't my life make sense? How can I fix my content to expand my readership? What did I miss? I'm here to help you discover it. From now on, you get to choose how you write the next chapter of your story.
