I am replaying this beautiful, foundational episode from 2023 as we begin journeying through the world of mothering in 2025.

After decades of mothering my children and students, I've concluded one valuable truth: Everything comes down to love.

A beautiful chapter to reflect on is 1 John 4. Take it line by line. I pray that you grasp the depths of God's love for you this year.

In a recent podcast, I heard Arthur C. Brooks, co-author of "Build the Life You Want," earnestly proclaim, "Everything comes down to love." His words took my breath away because that is what "Today's Heartlift with Janell" is all about. As Heartlifters, we stand in the center of our spheres of influence, radiating a healthy sense of self, healthy behavior patterns, and healthy communication skills. Do we do this perfectly? Oh, HECK NO. Most of the time, it is imperfect. But we aim to become stronger daily in all three areas of our lives and commit to "when we know better, we do better." Season 13 is all about becoming proficient in the language of love. It's jam-packed with strong teaching, remarkable conversations, and much inspiration and joy. Grab your notebook and a cup of something very delicious, and open your heart.
