While visiting Grandbirds in Uruguay, Janell revisits three foundational episodes, starting today with Episode 34 from April 2019.

This week is Episode 35 from April 2019.

Working from her second book, Overcoming Hurtful Words: Rewrite Your Story, Janell introduces the foundation of The Heartlift Method.

Join Janell on this replay of her three-week mini-series on the three-fold cord of emotional and spiritual health: a healthy sense of self, healthy behavior patterns, and healthy communication skills. Experts have shown that emotional intelligence is the foundation for personal and professional success. Janell adds spiritual authenticity, as well. And, as the old saying goes, "If Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy." We're changing that around just a bit to say, "If Mama ain't emotionally healthy, ain't nobody emotionally healthy."

As we move through 2025, every episode of the podcast and Substack newsletter is dedicated to "Mothering for the Ages."

Please order your copy of Overcoming Hurtful Words and follow along with Janell as she reads from the book: OHW on AMAZON.

Please download the PDF Guide to Overcoming Hurtful Words.

I am replaying this beautiful, foundational episode from 2023 as we begin journeying through the world of mothering in 2025.

After decades of mothering my children and students, I've concluded one valuable truth: Everything comes down to love.

A beautiful chapter to reflect on is 1 John 4. Take it line by line. I pray that you grasp the depths of God's love for you this year.

In a recent podcast, I heard Arthur C. Brooks, co-author of "Build the Life You Want," earnestly proclaim, "Everything comes down to love." His words took my breath away because that is what "Today's Heartlift with Janell" is all about. As Heartlifters, we stand in the center of our spheres of influence, radiating a healthy sense of self, healthy behavior patterns, and healthy communication skills. Do we do this perfectly? Oh, HECK NO. Most of the time, it is imperfect. But we aim to become stronger daily in all three areas of our lives and commit to "when we know better, we do better." Season 13 is all about becoming proficient in the language of love. It's jam-packed with strong teaching, remarkable conversations, and much inspiration and joy. Grab your notebook and a cup of something very delicious, and open your heart.
