I’m Janell.
Clients call me “The Heart Whisperer.” I kind of like that.
My newest title is perhaps my absolute favorite: Grandmother to Five! Heart Whispering into their hearts and little ears is why I was born. When my husband, Rob, and I said “I do” 40 years ago, we prayed for an emotionally healthy, spiritually strong family and envisioned a family reunion with grandchildren running everywhere! We’ve worked hard and trusted God through the ups and downs. In my seventh decade, I’m here to offer any wisdom I’ve learned along my heartlifter’s journey. 2025 is dedicated to “Mothering for All Ages, Stages, and Phases,” so look for topics and essays and podcast conversations on the power of mothering and maternal presence.

My Heartlifting Mission
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.

Becoming Emotionally Healthy is my "why."
I started on the path of becoming emotionally healthy four decades ago. I got really serious about it when I had children. Now they are all in their thirties and having their own children. Join me on my Substack and on the podcast. Let’s journey together.
