Naked: With Janelle

Ep 65 - Naked Note: Let Go Love

In today’s Naked Note, I’m talking about the part of motherhood no one really prepares you for: watching your child become independent, and feeling the distance that comes with it. Letting go doesn’t mean you lose them. It means you lose the illusion that you get to keep them the way you’ve always known them. This one is about grief, love, and learning to release.

Ep 64 - Lexi Part 2: Leaving the Nest

In Part 2 of my conversation with Lexi, we talk about what it really looks like to step into a life of your own—choosing love, choosing change, and choosing a future you didn’t see coming.Lexi shares how listening to her intuition led her to a country she never expected to call home… and into a joyful, simple beach life that fits her in the best way.We also talk openly about the awkwardness of a new season: the stretching, the tenderness, the learning-each-other-again part of a mother-daughter relationship when the “kid” isn’t a kid anymore.Honest, vulnerable, and full of heart—this one is a special conversation.If Naked has felt like a conversation you want to stay part of, come join me on Patreon.

Ep 61 - Naked Note: Patient Love

Last week, Elli shared her story. This week, I’m sharing mine — the view from the doorway as a mom watching her girl fade into the dark and trying not to be swallowed by fear in the process.In this Naked Notes episode, I talk honestly about the helplessness, the panic, the urge to fix, and the slow, painful work of learning to lead with patient love instead of anxious control.
