Have you got a man drawer? You know the one. Full of takeaway menus nobody looks at anymore, random bits and pieces and all those things we keep just in case!
This week, I'm having a little wander through the things we hold on to.
From cluttered drawers to childhood Halloween memories, hollowing out turnips at the kitchen table and that unmistakable smell of a candle burning inside.
It's funny what we keep, what we forget and what stays with us without needing to keep anything at all.

There's something about lighting the first fire of autumn that brings back memories.

From coal fires and crumpets toasted for Ski Sunday to Grandma's house, Granda in his chair and childhood card games.

This week on Journey with Janey, we're talking about the simple moments, the warmth of home and the memories that stay with us.

Perhaps it wasn't just the fire keeping us warm, but the people gathered around it.

What fuels your fire, and what memories warm your heart?

The Conversations That Stay With Us

Have you ever had a completely random conversation that left you smiling for the rest of the day?
This week I'm exploring the conversations we have, the ones we miss and those that pick up exactly where they left off, even after years apart.
From coffee-shop chats and making someone smile to daily phone calls, voice notes, family catch-ups and reconnecting with old friends.
Some conversations last minutes. Others stay with us for a lifetime.

Sometimes it's not what was...

Welcome to Season 6 — Stories From the Field.

And where better to start than at the beach, with the waves in the background and a story that still makes me laugh.

This week I’m thinking about the power of laughter, the memories that stick and those family stories that get told over and over again.

From childhood holidays and Dad’s flip-flops to flying kites and the two-week family holidays I made sure we continued with our own family, it got me wondering — why are the moments we remem...

Three months ago I asked you a question:
Where do you want to be by the end of September?
Well… here we are. 😂 Did you get there?

Before you start ticking boxes and listing everything you didn't do, this week's Season 5 finale is an invitation to look again.
What changed? What surprised you? What did you let go of? And what grew in you that you weren't measuring?

As we get ready to close Season 5 next week, I'm going back to the beginning.

At the start of Rooted & Rising, I asked: If it's the end of September and you're looking back with a smile, what has grown in your life?

Well... here we are, nearly there.

This week we're listening again, because repetition matters. We hear things differently when we've lived a little more life in between.

So listen as the person you are today. What grew? What changed? What didn't happen? And w...

Rooted & Rising | Exactly Where I Need To Be

Sometimes we don't need something new. Sometimes we need to hear something again.

After a full few days at Dynamite Lifestyle Inception, followed by a date in my calendar that naturally brought reflection, I've found myself thinking about where I am now and how different those words feel today.

So this week I'm revisiting an episode from the end of Season 4: Exactly Where I Need To Be.

Earlier in this season I said “Before we can grow, we need to be nourished.

After two very peopley days working in the coffee shop, I realised I needed to hear that again.  I know i needed the reminder.

This week we're talking about recognising what we need now because what nourished us in one season might not be what we need in the next.

Sometimes growth is about adding more and sometimes it's about less noise, less rushing and a little more space to hear ourselves aga...

Season 5 Episode 10 | Life Keeps Lifing

Just when you think you've got everything sorted… life has other ideas. 😂

Being rooted doesn't mean life suddenly becomes easy, predictable or perfectly organised. Things happen, plans change, emotions arrive and sometimes all we can do is decide how we're going to meet it.

This week, I'm reflecting on accepting what we can't control, trusting ourselves a little more, and remembering that however much inner work we've done… life keeps lifing!

No script. No particular plan.

Just me, sitting on the beach with the sound of the waves, sharing whatever comes into my mind.

Sometimes the best conversations are the ones we don't plan.

So grab a cuppa, pop your headphones on and come and sit by the sea with me for a while...then chill with 10 added minutes of waves see where it takes you.

Rooted & Rising | Grateful for the Memories

Yesterday, would have been my 26th wedding anniversary, Today I'm reflecting not on what I've lost, but on everything I'm grateful happened.

The people we love, the lives we've shared and the memories we've created become part of our roots. They shape who we are without preventing us from continuing to grow.

This week is about remembering with gratitude, honouring the chapters that have ended and giving ourselves permission to keep writing the ones still to come.

Rooted & Rising | Look Again 🌱

Last week, the rain finally arrived and began feeding our very dry land.

But growth doesn't happen overnight.

This week I'm heading back outside and looking a little closer at what's quietly changing and reflecting on how often we miss our own growth because we're waiting for a dramatic transformation.

Sometimes we need to look back, not because we're going backwards, but because it helps us see how far we've already travelled.

Rooted & Rising | Feeding the Land

The rain has finally arrived.

After weeks of glorious sunshine and dry ground, the fields are beginning to receive what they've been waiting for. It reminded me that growth doesn't happen overnight. First comes the nourishment, then the roots, and only then do we begin to see the change.

In this week's episode, I reflect on what truly feeds us and why, just like nature, we all need the right conditions to grow.

Today is one of those episodes where I simply let the thoughts flow.

From reflecting by the sea, to the emotion of the Kevin Keegan tributes, to last week's green fix amongst the trees, somehow it all brought me back to grief, life and the paths we each walk.

Grief isn't a process to complete or a set of steps to follow. It's unique, because we are unique.

There is no right way. There is no wrong way.

And perhaps one of the most freeing...

Back to Nature – A Green Fix 

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.

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...

Sometimes the greatest transformation isn't becoming someone new. It's remembering who you are.

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.

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.
