A Note: Formerly “Today’s Heartlift with Janell,” this podcast is evolving into The Heartlifter Way—a gentler, more embodied path forward. If you’ve been here for a while, you may notice we’re beginning again—gently. And I’m so glad you’re here for what’s next. Notice that we've started afresh with "Episode 1." Ending at Episode 365 and starting again at 1 is actually beautifully symbolic:

365 → a full year, a full cycleEpisode 1 → a new beginning

Begin again—gently.

Welcome to Today's Inaugural Episode

What if nothing is wrong with you?
What if your body has been trying to care for you all along… and just hasn’t been heard?

In this opening episode of The Heartlifter Way, Janell Rardon invites you into a gentler way of living—one that doesn’t rush, force, or overwhelm, but instead begins with awareness, compassion, and small, faithful steps.

Together, you’ll explore what it means to come home to yourself—connecting your thoughts, feelings, and body in a way that fosters safety and steadiness from within.

You’ll also be guided through a simple, calming practice to help you begin noticing your body with kindness.

This is your starting place.
A quiet beginning.
A gentle path back to yourself.

Feeling stretched thin or spiritually dry? In this episode, we sit down with author Alyson Pryor to explore the beauty and practicality of personal retreat. Drawing from her book Come Away and Rest, Alyson shares how creating intentional space with God isn’t just for the few—it’s possible even in the middle of a busy life. You’ll learn simple, meaningful ways to step away, quiet the noise, and reconnect with God’s presence. Whether you have an hour or a full day, this conversation will gently invite you into deeper rest, renewal, and intimacy with Him.

Your Genesis 2:7 Beginning is a guided audio meditation created by Janell, rooted in the Heartlifter Way pillar of Retrain Your Brain. In this sacred pause, you are invited to journey back to your very beginning—when God breathed His life into you. As you return to this origin moment, you gently release survival patterns and awaken to a deeper truth: you were created to flourish. Let this meditation help you reconnect with your God-breathed essence, where your truest self is restored, renewed, and alive again.
