Twelve years ago, I was sitting on the edge of our bed, pregnant with our second baby, while our three-year-old played at my feet. David and I had just finished one of those long, late-night talks—the kind where you feel both terrified and completely certain. We had made the decision: I was going to leave the traditional workforce and come home. Not just to raise our babies, but to build something new. Something for us.

We didn’t have a roadmap, just faith and a vision of a different kind of life. There were hard days. Sleepless nights. Seasons of tight finances and very little personal space. But we knew our “why.” We wanted to raise our kids with intention and create a life rooted in flexibility, presence, and purpose.

Since then, I’ve shared doTERRA across the country, often with a baby on my hip or a toddler by my side. I’ve worked with women around the world through —writing, teaching, and building community from front porches, coffee shops, and carpool lines. And now, I help people find homes and properties in Alabama. I’ve negotiated deals in the middle of family road trips, written offers while watching my kids play, and stayed connected with clients no matter where we are.

I don’t take this life for granted. Being able to work for myself has allowed me to show up for my family and still grow in my purpose. And now that our kids are older and need me in different ways, we’re stepping into a new season.

If you’re in a season of building, sacrificing, or trying to figure out how to make it all work, I see you. Keep going. It’s possible to create a life that works for your family.

This is what working from anywhere looks like for me today.

Father’s Day feels bittersweet this year.

My parents divorced when I was 3 and my dad has been in and out of my life ever since. In 2023 he moved in with us to get away from an unhealthy relationship. With David traveling often and me needing help with the kids, it felt like a win win and a chance to have my dad in my life in a way I never really had growing up.

And for a while it was beautiful. He was present. He took accountability for past mistakes. He bonded with my kids. I felt real healing happening. Like maybe we were finally breaking cycles.

Then he had knee surgery. I cared for him through it all: appointments, meals, meds, rehab. And while on strong pain meds, his ex somehow got back in. Despite changing his number and email, she found a way through. Within 24 hours he was “in love” again and planning to move back to California to be with her.

When I expressed concern, he pulled away. Grew cold. Barely spoke to me. A few weeks later he gave me a side hug, said, “I guess that’s it,” and walked out of my house and my life again.

It’s been almost a year. We’ve spoken once, for five minutes, over six months ago.

This time it hurts more than when I was a kid.

Because now I’m a parent.

I can’t imagine walking away from my children the way he has.

My dad has nine kids (that we know of) and as far as I know none of us are in contact with him. That breaks my heart. I feel sorry for him. I pray for him. But I also have to protect my heart and my children’s.

My kids still ask why Papa doesn’t call. Why he doesn’t FaceTime. Why he doesn’t send birthday cards anymore.

All I can say is, “He’s complicated. And I’m sorry.”

There’s so much more to the story. So much I could say. But for now, this is what I’ll share.

I’m not posting this for pity. I’m posting it because if you’re carrying grief or disappointment this Father’s Day, I see you.

Some of us are raising kids while healing from the ones who raised us. Or didn’t. Some of us are breaking cycles we never asked to be born into. It’s not easy but it matters.

You’re not alone.

💜
Janelle

We met when we were 14 (26 years ago) and dated for a month (check out the black and white picture to see). Fast forward: 18 years together, 4 beautiful children, and today we celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary.

We have shared a million laughs, shed hundreds of tears, weathered countless arguments, experienced moments of bliss, endured feelings of doubt, offered lots of forgiveness, engaged in conversations of hope, seen dreams fulfilled, and faced times of loss.

We have shifted and changed, no longer the same versions of ourselves we were when we first fell in love.
We have evolved and grown together, both as a couple and as individuals.

Our love transcends the fairy tales I grew up watching—not because it’s perfect, but because it’s real. It’s raw. It’s been tested and stretched and still chooses to stay.

Thank you for sharing this wild journey of life with me. Let the adventure continue.

Got a sweet tooth? 🍬 Let’s satisfy it the healthy way with nature’s skittles – an abundance of fresh fruits packed with natural sugars and nutrients!

Boost your fruity feast by pairing it with plain Greek yogurt, dark chocolate, pumpkin, sunflower, and h**p seeds. This combo adds protein, antioxidants, and healthy fats to your snack, making it even more delicious and nutritious.
