Journey With Janey Podcast

Send us Fan Mail From family bonfires that were practically military operations, old sofas around the fire and Mum and Dad travelling up the lonnen on the back of a pickup, Bonfire Night has always been a big occasion. This week I'm sharing the laughter, memories and traditions that have travelled through the generations, from childhood bonfires to the wonderful community celebrations in Elsd...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Send us Fan Mail 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? F...

Send us Fan Mail 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 live...

Send us Fan Mail 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 revisi...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Send us Fan Mail Rooted & Rising | Waves  No script. No particular plan. Just me, sitting on the beach with the sound of the waves, sharing whatever comes into my mind. Life, memories, growth, grief, gratitude. Who knows where we'll end up? 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 wh...

Send us Fan Mail 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....

Send us Fan Mail 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 lo...

Send us Fan Mail 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 wha...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

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...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

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 rememb...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

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 knowi...

Send us Fan Mail 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 que...

Send us Fan Mail This week, Janey reflects on family, connection, nature, and the quiet lessons life offers when we slow down enough to notice them. 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 thro...

Send us Fan Mail This episode is a reflection on growth, the quiet kind that happens internally before the outside world begins to notice it.  After a birthday weekend filled with football, a sea swim, laughter, connection, and moments of deep reflection, Janey shares how much can shift in just a couple of weeks when we begin reconnecting with ourselves.  From consciously changing her thoughts aft...
