The Heartlifter Way
Recently named 6th in Feedspot’s Top 100 Mental Health Podcasts, The Heartlifter Way invites you to carry life differently.
Welcome to The Heartlifter Way—a gentle path back to yourself. Hosted by award-winning author Janell Rardon, this podcast is a calm, reflective space where healing begins not with pressure or perfection, but with presence, awareness, and grace.
Hosted by author and Board-Certified Mind-Body Life Coach Janell Rardon, The Heartlifter Way is a reflective space for women who want to live with greater awareness, spiritual depth, and intention.
Together, we explore the inner terrain of everyday life—our emotions, relationships, bodies, faith, and the seasons of change that invite us to listen more deeply.
Through honest conversations, gentle practices, luminous guest interviews, and stories from ordinary life, Janell invites you to slow down, notice what is happening within you, and discern what may be asking to emerge.
You don’t have to carry life alone.
