    Worth it!!
    This is good stuff!! I always get something out of her podcasts. There are a lot of people out there, making a lot of noise, Janet is one of the few worth listening to.

    I love Janet! Her podcast has helped me so much!
    I’ve been listening to Janet’s podcast for about a year now and have learned so much! She gives practical tips and has such clear directions on how to bring joy and love into our home and relationships. Very grateful!!

    My new favorite parenting podcast
    I learn something new every time I listen. The marriage and motherhood guidance challenges me to change for the better. I really enjoy the anecdotes, Catholic viewpoints, and life coaching.

    One of the best podcasts if you want to stay married
    Every time I listen to Jane something clicks on my mind. I am so thankful for you, Jane, and the time and talents that you share with us. The last podcast that I listened to touched my heart so much ❤️‍🔥and this is my takeaway: “How is my husband sacrificing for our son and myself?” I agree entirely this podcast is full of PRACTICAL tools to become the women we are called to be 😁🌹🥰🙏

    Great episode on Love Languages
    This episode was so revealing when Janet said that many men consider going to work as the primary way to show love for their spouses and families. The entire episode had many great observations on communicating support, affection and love for your husband…especially, “make requests without expectations” - yes! So simple and yet challenging. I appreciate that Janet (in the several episodes I have listened to) challenges the listener to make the change instead of relying on others. So much of her material is practical. Thank you for these little changes that can make a huge difference!

    Tough but good
    Janet is a wonderful, deliberate coach. I see how being consistent can help kids to be more aware of - and to expect - boundaries. (I just enjoyed listening to the episode on setting boundaries with our children.) I would love to hear more on this topic of setting boundaries as I think children can “push” parents around very easily these days - and it can be hard for parents to stand up and believe in themselves.

    Intellectual. Inspirational. Spiritual. Everything.
    I am so blessed by this show. Janet is well read, is a wealth of wisdom, gentle yet convicted in the values and attitudes necessary to become the woman, wife, and mother God intends for all of us. Hooked on this show. Cannot say enough about it. Thank you Janet for sharing your experiences!

    So effective, we have started a moms group around Janet’s Podcasts
    Janet is an incredible woman, filled with wisdom, guidance, mindset shifts and practical tools that work! A large group of moms in our local area have started a moms group around her podcasts, where we come together once a month and discuss a chosen podcast, then share about what we are learning and how we can apply what she is sharing. Every mom in this group has a special respect and appreciation for Janet’s direct, clear and gentle approach, and we aspire in so many ways to grow in the virtue, dedication and commitment in our vocations of motherhood that Janet encourages. She is the model mom, friend, teacher and leader that every mom needs in their lives to become the best version of themselves!

    Finally! An uplifting podcast for motherhood!
    Janet provides amazing and sage advice for mothers time and time again. Her podcast is one I never miss as it is unlike anything I have ever listened to. I walk away encouraged, supported, understood, and hopeful. I’ve been given wonderful tools, inspiration and new insights that truly I haven’t found anywhere else. Everything Janet offers is well thought-out, supported by research as well as with practical life experience as a mother, teacher, and life coach. She offers so many practical tools to everyday concerns, and encourages as well as challenges her listeners so to grow personally so can be the mothers they know they can be.. Grab you cup of tea or coffee and enjoy meeting a new friend whom will share so much with you about the joys of being a mother!

    The BEST Generational Wisdom
    Finding Joy in Motherhood is a truly a joy to listen to & something my life has been missing!! Every time I listen to an episode, I walk away with a golden nugget that is life changing. Janet has a way of making you feel okay about doing life differently (esp technology!!). I love how she is a daughter of Christ and reminds us to take our struggles to God. I’ve also coached with her one on one & am a member of Reimagine Motherhood and I cannot recommend both of those enough! Her wisdom & guidance will change your perspective & help you find joy everyday!

    Positive Encouragement
    Janet discusses the topics that I have struggled with most as a young mom. Her encouragement in positive thinking, problem solving and self assessment have been pivotal for me in how I look at my role not only as a wife and mother but as a daughter of Christ. I highly recommend this podcast to any modern woman, wife and mother looking to make life a little bit easier for herself.

    A handbook for motherhood!
    I found this podcast when I was struggling and disappointed in my parenting. After only a few episodes my mindset changed and I feel better equipped to become the mother I want to be! Janet is an invaluable resource and I know I will be visiting these episodes again and again as my children grow and we enter new stages in life. Thank you Janet!

    This is my absolute favorite podcast; my life has become less stressful and more orderly due to implementing some of the advice given in this podcast. I cannot recommend it enough!

    Reassurance…and sometimes a kick in the pants ;)
    I love listening to this podcast while I work in the kitchen (washing dishes, loading the dishwasher, making meals, wiping counters, etc.). Janet is so wise, calm, confident, gentle, faithful, and loving. I often find myself enlightened, encouraged, and convicted by her messages.

    Super helpful!!
    I’ve found this podcast so helpful. I’ve been searching for resources to help me manage my home / family for a very long time. I have an infant and toddler at home so life can get very hectic. Janet has not only motivated me to create an orderly and peaceful home but offered amazing tools to put what she preaches into practice. Highly recommend!

    So much help and encouragement!
    I have been listening to various faith/mom oriented podcasts for years, but none of them have helped and inspired me as much as this one! Finding Joy in Motherhood has truly refreshed my soul and helped me to grow as a wife, mom and homemaker. I have seen noticeable growth in the orderliness of my home and in the way I mother and discipline my children, thanks to the practical advice found in here. This is the one podcast I recommend to all my mom friends, and if you are looking to grow in joy, hope, peace and confidence as a mom than I recommend this podcast to you too!

    Brings me hope!
    The episodes are short (which is perfect for a busy mom) but full of practical advice and spiritual wisdom. From the first few episodes I’ve listened to, I’m already applying her advice in my motherhood and seeing positive results and feeling more peace and confidence. Highly recommend! Thank you for this podcast!

    I love this podcast! I’ve been a fan of Janet’s blog for a while, treasuring her wisdom as a veteran mother. As a young mon, it is so encouraging to hear lessons and tips in raising a virtuous and joyful family, as well as getting a little reflection that inspires me everyday!

    So encouraging!
    My favorite episode so far is the power of encouragement, but they’re all sooo good! I love that so many are bite sized and actionable. ❤️
  • ArchAdmin
    Encouraging!
    Janet’s 35 years of life experience as a wife, mother, mother-in-law and grandmother have given her a depth of understanding the complexity of family life and the challenges a woman faces in today’s culture. With great sympathy and knowledge of what day to day reality is like, she gives encouragement to women. Her practical points are very concrete and helpful, while at the same time respecting that each woman has to navigate what works best for her and her family. Janet’s humility and willingness to open her heart by sharing stories from her own marriage and family life make listening to each podcast like having a cup of coffee with a good friend.

    So needed!
    I just have to write a review — and I *never* write reviews! I have to say, as a woman who doesn’t follow any sort of religion or specific faith, this is without a doubt, the most enjoyable thing I’ve ever come across. I was able to work with all the “God talk” and I promise I don’t mean that in a derogatory way! and apply the solutions and mindset shifts to my life in a way that works for me. I binged the entire thing today while I was cleaning and cooking for my family. I’ve struggled a lot over the years and within the last few months things have really taken a turn for me — in a GOOD way. I have figured so much out about how my mindset affects everything about me and my life and the life of my family and definitely my marriage. Janet’s voice is so incredibly soothing and nurturing, I could listen to her all day — and I did! 🤍Everything I heard today was so necessary for exactly where I am in my life, it gave me even more encouragement and faith and trust in myself and my abilities and that’s worth it’s weight in gold. So grateful for this podcast and you’ve gained a loyal follower! I do want to say, I went to the website and couldn’t download the PDF for the home order bit, and I really would like it! — definitely give this podcast a whirl, it’s so lovely!

    So much great, practical advice!
    Lots of practical, thought-provoking advice! Janet does an excellent job of really making you think about her different topics as well has giving you practical, clear solutions for implementing them in your daily life. The short daily meditations are perfect nuggets to jump-start personal prayer/meditation. So helpful, thank you!

I am quickly becoming a regular listener and I can’t wait to see this podcast flourish and spread to other needy listeners. Thank you for the time and heart you share here to help us improve our lives, Janet. ❤️
