ABOUT JANETTE

Hi there—I'm Janette. Let's see,  I’m a fur mom who grew up all over the world as the daughter of an Air Force Officer. My friends describe me as polished, but gritty. I can change a tire, bait my own hook, and I once rode a real bull for 2.12 seconds. 

HEADLINE: I am a cancer-slaying, Emmy, Telly, and Aurora award-winning former journalist, with a vibrant career as a news anchor, reporter, and show host in cities like Cincinnati, Dallas, and Atlanta. I also worked in the entertainment industry hosting DIY Network and HGTV shows. I've worked with icons such as Oprah Winfrey, Dr. Phil, Anthony Robbins, and Zig Ziglar —blending entertainment with profound life lessons. Today, I am a certified Mindset Coach and Strategic Intervention (SI) Life Strategist, dedicating my life to empowering others through The Art of LIFEing platform where I continue to serve as an author, speaker, and TV and Podcast Host.

BOTTOM LINE: I passionately look for ways to live fully expressed, and believe it's my purpose to help others do the same. The Art of LIFEing platform and resources are born from my journey through profound life moments—from health challenges to covering pivotal tragedies times as a journalist. These experiences have deepened my understanding of what it means to live fully and joyfully. I aim to share tools that promote wellness, fulfillment, and joy—helping others navigate their paths with the same intention and resilience that have guided mine.

Together, let's embrace The Art Of LIFEing.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Spencer X Smith

“I love Janette’s books! Not only does Janette have a great story and fantastic writing style, but she also includes ACTIONABLE items. As a result, her books are equal parts motivation and real-life application. All are must-reads! For those looking to find their purpose in this season, or are ready to transition in life- check out her book, From Dream to Reality: Navigating the Path to Your Life Purpose. The best takeaway I learned? The Dream Destruction Cycle, and how it is something we all need to be aware of when pursuing our goals."

Hallerin Hilton Hill

"Janette dares to not only envision a possibility, she makes it happen. I've always been amazed at her ability to move from concept to completion. Even more powerful is her ability to help others do the same. One key to turning dreams into reality is waking up. At some point, you stop dreaming and you start doing. Roots author Alex Haley once said, "If you see a turtle on a fence post he had help."Janette “helps.” Janette understands that embracing "The Art of LIFEing" creates a life of joy and fulfillment.
