Journey With Janey Podcast
Are you feeling lost, sad and empty?  Life can throw us curve balls in all shapes and sizes. My journey through the death of my mum Carol, soulmate Jonathan, two close family friends and the trauma of two hip replacements in a very short space of time, left me with no identity and absolutely no idea what to do next. We are all unique and can all be grieving something at any stage of life. Are you asking yourself the What if question? Do you wonder how life can go on? Join us and uncover the tools and tips to sta...

Back to Nature – A Green FixÂ
Today, Janey & Tilly take a different path.
Leaving our usual walk behind, we headed into the trees in search of a little green fix. Amongst the towering pines and vibrant ferns, nature reminded me that changing our habits can change our perspective.
Janey explores the power of trying a different path, noticing what has always been there, and the quiet lessons waiting for us when we slow down.
So, come and walk with me for a while...then sit for...

Send us Fan Mail
Janey is taking her own advice, sleeping and recovering after feeling like she has been hit by a bus yesterday and having to sleep for nearly 36 hours on and off.
Sometimes our bodies tell us enough is enough and a recharge is required, forcing us to do nothing. Even if we think we have all bases covered.
This is a repeat of an earlier episode and Janey will be back full strength next week.
For now take care and listen to your body if it says rest...

Rooted & Rising – What Needs Nurturing?
Last week we opened the gate to a new season, Rooted & Rising. This week, we're taking our first gentle steps into The Quiet Field.
Living and working on the farm reminds me every day that nature never rushes. Before anything reaches for the light, it first puts down roots. Perhaps we're not so different.
In this episode, I reflect on what it really means to nurture ourselves, why quiet growth often goes unnoticed, and how we can stop measuring life by what we've ac...

Rooted & Rising Season 5 Begins.
Welcome to a new season of Journey with Janey.
Season 4 invited us to embrace new beginnings. This season is about what happens next.
Like nature, we aren't meant to bloom all year. We need time to put down roots, trust the process, and recognise that some of life's greatest growth happens quietly, beneath the surface.
Throughout this season, I'll be sharing reflections inspired by the changing seasons, life on the farm, nature, grief, rediscovery, and the gentle reminders that help us...

Send us Fan Mail
As Season 4 draws to a close, Janey reflects on a weekend filled with family, connection, gratitude, and a quiet sense of knowing.
After months of exploring new beginnings, growth, self-image, learning from nature, and trusting ourselves, this episode brings everything back to one simple truth:
Sometimes the greatest transformation isn't becoming someone new. It's remembering who you are.
From The Quiet Field sponsorship event to time spent with family, and a realisation that arrived quietly rather than dramatically, this episode is a reflection on identity, purpose, belonging...

This week, I'm revisiting one of my favourite episodes.
As we've been exploring self-trust, listening within, learning from nature, and creating space for our own answers, it felt like the perfect time to return to The Quiet Field.
In a world that constantly encourages us to do more, know more, and seek more, this episode is an invitation to pause.
To breathe, to notice and to remember that sometimes the greatest clarity arrives when we stop searching and simply allow ourselves to be.
So find...
JW S4 EP11 - Taking My Own Advice
Send us Fan Mail
Last week, Janey invited listeners to stop searching for answers outside themselves and spend time listening within.
This week, she reflects on what happened when she did exactly the same.
A gentle conversation about intuition, trust, and having the courage to follow the quiet whispers that often know the way before our minds catch up.
In this episode:
The difference between knowing and trusting
Listening to your intuition
Why answers don't always arrive loudly
Following the next step without needing the whole...

Over the last two months, we've explored new beginnings, growth, confidence, self-image, learning from nature, and trusting ourselves.
But what if the answers we've been searching for aren't out there at all?
What if they're already within us?
In this special reflective episode, Janey invites you to pause, slow down, and listen.
Through a series of powerful questions, you'll be encouraged to step away from the noise, put down Google, stop seeking validation, and reconnect with your own wisdom.
The episode concludes with 10...

From sunshine-filled moments and supportive conversations, to noticing the trees, buttercups, and daisies growing in their own time, this episode is a reminder that we are not separate from nature. We are Nature.
And just like nature, we all move through different seasons.
Sometimes the smallest things hold the biggest lessons, if we take the time to really see them.

JWJ S4 EP7 - Self Image Starts Within
Send us Fan Mail
This week, Janey reflects on the deeper meaning behind the Met Gala-inspired images she shared online and the conversations they sparked around confidence, identity, and self-worth.
Because true self-image isn’t really about clothes, appearance, or how others see us.
It’s about the relationship we have with ourselves.
After life experiences, loss, change, and seasons of survival, many of us stop recognising who we are. We shrink ourselves, question ourselves, and wait for permission to feel good enough.
This episode is a gentle reminder that...

This episode comes to you from a place of sunshine, sea air, and unexpected self-discovery.
Time away from the demands of everyday life has given me something I didn’t realise I needed space to relax into myself again. To feel playful, curious, and even a little bit like a “naughty school girl,” rediscovering parts of me that had been quietly waiting for attention.
Sometimes the most meaningful work we do isn’t business work it’s personal. It’s the gentle work of reconnecting with who we are beyond our r...
