This month Janis is sharing her most listened to episodes in the last 7 years!

In each of us, there is an inner knowing of what next steps to take, yet in many cases, we don’t take that step. We’re afraid of the unknown and of what the unknown requires of us. Janis talks about how taking chances in life can bring about the changes of our dreams.

For the month of June, Janis is sharing the most listened to episodes of The Intuitive Therapist.

There is a misconception in the metaphysical, therapeutic, and coaching communities that human beings need to emotionally heal themselves. It’s not true and that word is SO overused! There is something else that we need to do instead. Janis reveals the real “thing” that each of us needs to do and what achieving that will bring to the quality of our lives.

This month Janis is sharing some of the most listened to episodes of The Intuitive Therapist! It takes courage to accept certain truths in your life, doesn’t it? Janis talks about a number of truths that you must learn to accept in order to live your best life and how you can learn to stop arguing with the truth and be happy.

This month Janis is sharing some of the most popular episodes of The Intuitive Therapist over the last several years.  Far too many of us believe that our self-worth is determined by people and circumstances outside of us. The trouble with giving outside sources this power is that we develop shame and helplessness. In this episode, Janis looks at the root of the need for validation from others and what needs to happen in order for us to know how to validate ourselves.

What if I told you that your body speaks a language more honest than your words ever could—and it’s been trying to talk to you your whole life? Janis unpacks how reading emotional frequencies is not some woo-woo magic trick—it’s a radical act of self-trust. It’s science-meets-soul. Your nervous system knows when something’s off, long before your brain has time to make it polite. And when you learn to read that energetic language—like a second language—you stop gaslighting yourself, you start honoring your truth, and you reclaim the emotional intelligence that patriarchy, performance culture, and people-pleasing have tried to bury. This isn’t just intuition. It’s power. And baby, it’s time you speak it fluently.

What if the chaos in your life isn’t a breakdown, but a breakthrough? Janis exposes the raw truth about leveling up—not as a shiny milestone, but as a messy, soul-stretching reckoning. It's spiritual friction, emotional unraveling, and energetic shifts that shake your foundation—not to punish you, but to prepare you. Right before you rise, everything falls apart. Your old patterns scream, your body aches, and life tests your readiness. But on the other side? Aligned relationships, creative expansion, unexpected abundance, and the unshakable peace that comes from finally becoming who you were always meant to be.  You don’t want to miss this episode!

You were never broken—just buried under someone else’s story. This episode is a powerful call to unlearn the rules, roles, and beliefs you never consciously chose. It’s about shedding inherited conditioning with compassion—not blame—and reclaiming your truth through awareness, embodied healing, and radical self-honor. This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about finally becoming who you’ve always been underneath it all. Janis dives deep into what conditioning is, how you’ve been conditioned, how to identify the conditioning that isn’t in alignment with your truth and how you can step into your truth with greater clarity and strength.

Something shocking happens when you finally wake up to your reality; an internal shift takes place. But, what do you do when you see yourself and your life in such a dramatically different way?  How do you deal with your unwanted feelings and thoughts? What do you do?  In this popular replay, Janis talks about how to deal with your awakening and what to do when you realize your life needs to change.

Let’s talk about courage—the kind that asks you to show up, be seen, and take chances even when there are no guarantees. If you’ve been feeling the nudge for something more—maybe a new chapter, a bold decision, or a dream you’ve kept tucked away—this podcast episode is for you. Janis explores what keeps us from taking risks, how to tell when a chance is truly aligned, and how to quiet the voice of fear that tries to keep us small. Because the truth is, a wholehearted life isn’t built on playing it safe. It’s built on vulnerability, aligned action, and a deep trust in yourself. You don’t need to have it all figured out to take the first step. You just need to believe that your future is worth the risk.

Ego death isn’t the end—it’s the beginning of becoming who you truly are. Janis explores the sacred and often disorienting process of shedding the false identities shaped by fear, roles, and external validation. If you’ve ever felt lost, like nothing fits anymore, or like you’re breaking apart, you might actually be waking up. This is your soul’s call to evolve, to burn away the small self and rise in your truth. Listen in as Janis unpacks the signs, triggers, and gifts of ego death—and how to surrender to the transformation with grace, power, and trust. 

What if the very thing blocking your blessings is something you’re still clinging to? And what if letting go is the only way to rise? In How to Know What to Release to Receive Your Blessings, I unpack the emotional and energetic weight that’s keeping you stuck. From expired relationships to outdated beliefs, you’ll learn how to identify what no longer aligns with your truth—and how to release it with power and purpose. If you’re ready to stop begging for your blessings and start receiving them, this episode is for you.

Your big dreams were given to you for a reason—but without a plan, they remain just that: dreams. Janis dives into why your soul’s deepest desires require practical action. You’ll learn how to bridge the gap between vision and reality, create a roadmap that works, and co-create with the Universe to bring your dreams to life. Janis walks you through the key elements of a powerful plan, plus she gives you three essential questions to help you gain clarity and take inspired action today. If you’re ready to start bringing your big dreams into reality, this episode is for you!

Janis challenges listeners to shift their mindset by embracing the bigger picture of their lives instead of getting lost in daily stressors. She shares her personal experience of feeling overwhelmed and stuck in negative thought patterns, realizing that the key to relief lies in zooming out and gaining perspective. She explains why we tend to fixate on small details—fear, perfectionism, control—and how this limits our ability to create the life we truly desire. By focusing on what truly matters and aligning with a greater vision, listeners can move from survival mode to intentional, empowered living. If you’re feeling stuck, anxious, or disconnected from your purpose, this episode is your reminder to step back, breathe, and trust that everything is unfolding in your favor.

How many times in your life have you felt like what you were going through was insurmountable?  Today, Janis takes a deep dive into overcoming life’s biggest challenges—the ones that make you feel small, powerless, and stuck. You’ll learn how to recognize your "Goliath moment," navigate the seven transformative stages of facing fear, and break through self-doubt with wisdom and strength. You’ll discover how toxic relationships, financial struggles, self-limiting beliefs, and major life transitions are actually gateways to personal empowerment. Plus, I’ll guide you through seven affirmations to anchor your courage and resilience. If you're feeling overwhelmed, this episode will equip you with the mindset and tools to stand tall, trust yourself, and step into your highest self. Don't miss this one y’all!

Have you ever felt an unshakable pull toward something but weren’t sure if it was just your imagination or a divine sign? In this episode, Janis dives deep into the subtle yet powerful ways Spirit communicates with us—through nudges, whispers, and synchronicities that guide us toward alignment with our highest selves. You’ll learn how to recognize spiritual nudges, distinguish them from the voice of ego, and take aligned action with trust and confidence. Plus, stay tuned for a guided meditation designed to help you experience a spiritual nudge firsthand. If you’ve been waiting for a sign—this is it!

As human beings, it’s natural to feel that you’ve lost your way at times. Because humans aren’t perfect, you have to go through adventures that lead you back home to your truth. Janis talks about what the lost compass is and how you can find yours to lead you back into integrity with yourself.

Have you been living with a mask on? Maybe you’ve worn it for so long that you don’t even realize it’s there. But something inside of you is done with all of the posturing and pretending. Something inside of you is screaming for truth—your truth. And today, Janis is handing you the map to get to a place where wearing the mask doesn’t even enter into your awareness.

What if the reason you’ve always felt different,… is because you are? What if Earth isn’t your original home? Maybe you’ve sensed it your whole life—like you’re visiting a place that never quite fit. Today, Janis is unlocking the signs, the truths, and the origins of souls who come from beyond this planet. If that stirs something inside you, keep listening. Because your soul remembers. And by the end of this episode, so will you.

Divine timing is influenced by 2 elements only.  And, only one of these elements is under your control. To experience divine timing in a more positive way, it’s important that you actively choose peace,  cultivate self-regulation, and take aligned action while you wait. Janis talks about what divine timing is, the influences that impact divine timing and how you can have greater impact on the timing in your life.

Most humans struggle to experience emotional freedom from everyday life; there’s always something to be irritated about, right? Janis talks about what emotional freedom is, why most of us struggle to experience it, and offers you several highly effective strategies to use to achieve it.

Spiritual growth impacts all aspects of your life. And, when you grow spiritually, it can take time for your body to catch up with your energetic upgrades. Janis talks about what spiritual expansion/ascension really means, how you know when you are expanding, and how you can navigate your spiritual growth with greater ease and grace. 

There is no way around it. If you want to experience the life you want, you’ve got to override your brain’s default system and create new synapses in your brain so that you can align your energy with the frequency of what you want.
