Amidst the fun banter, they finally connect and dive into the heart of the episode.
Janis shares her journey of rediscovering her identity beyond being a mom. As her children started moving out and heading to college, Janis found herself grappling with the question, "Who am I without my children?" She talks about the pivotal moment when she decided to take action and pursue her dreams, which led her to writing and coaching other moms to find their purpose beyond motherhood.
The conversation delves into the importance of consistency, both in personal growth and business endeavors. Janis emphasizes the power of carving out time for oneself, even if it's just 10-15 minutes, to connect with God and listen to His guidance. She speaks about the transformational journey she's been on, losing 75 pounds, writing a book, and finding healing through sharing her story.
Julianne and Janis explore the concept of embracing imperfection and being present in each moment, allowing God's plans to unfold. They discuss how stepping out in courage and authenticity can lead to meaningful connections and impact.
This episode is a part of the "Call to Courage" series, focusing on stepping into God's calling and living authentically, even when it challenges societal norms. Janis' story is an inspiring reminder that every season of life is an opportunity to glorify God uniquely.
