In this heartfelt and unfiltered episode of Wellness to Greatness, Janelle sits down with her longtime friend, Kristen Woodford — The Routine Queen, for an honest conversation about the messy, beautiful reality of motherhood.
They open up about losing themselves in the chaos of parenting, the pressure to “do it all,” and what it truly means to find balance between self-care, purpose, and family life. From postpartum identity shifts to letting go of perfection and embracing curiosity, this episode is a reminder that you don’t have to have it all figured out — you just have to keep showing up for yourself.
Together they discuss:
+ The transition into motherhood — and why no one’s ever really “ready.”
+ Reconnecting with your authentic self after kids.
+ How routines can ground you (without becoming another checklist).
+ Overcoming addictive behaviors and learning to breathe again.
+ The power of curiosity, compassion, and doing what serves you.
If you’ve ever felt like you’ve lost yourself in motherhood or you’re craving a reset, this one’s for you.
