Janelle courageously opens up about her past struggles with trauma, abuse, a battle with cancer, and a severe car accident that has left her with permanent paralysis. She discusses how these experiences have shaped her into a source of support and inspiration for others facing similar challenges. With a focus on healing and empowerment, Janelle has transitioned from hairdressing to counselling, where she now supports others in breaking the cycle of abuse through her program, Rise and Thrive Co. The episode is not just a story of survival, but a testament to Janelle's unwavering resilience. Her story is a powerful reminder of the strength found in overcoming adversity and the impact of giving back to the community.
