Sister Wives star Janelle Brown’s recent social media updates suggest she is still grappling with the emotional baggage of her past. Janelle was introduced to the concept of polygamy in her twenties after meeting Kody Brown in the 1990s. She embraced her role within the Brown family, enjoying the dynamics of plural marriage as she raised six children while pursuing her career. Initially, she found joy in sharing her life with Kody and her sister wives, Meri and Christine.
Over nearly two decades, Janelle’s experience with polygamy changed significantly. Despite her early enthusiasm, she began to sense an imbalance, particularly as Kody exhibited favoritism towards his youngest wife, Robyn Brown. The COVID-19 pandemic intensified these challenges, prompting Janelle to re-evaluate her stance on polygamy and ultimately decide to end her spiritual marriage with Kody in 2022. This marked a crucial turning point for her as she sought to prioritize her personal goals and focus on her children. Janelle channeled her energy into launching her own business, striving for independence like never before.
Janelle’s Journey to “Detox”Her Mind, Body & Spirit
The Heartbreak of Losing Garrison Brown
While Christine and Meri swiftly moved on with their lives following their separations from Kody, the same cannot be said for Janelle. Christine embraced a transformation, losing weight and finding love with David Woolley, while Meri embarked on a new chapter by dating, adopting a dog, and launching her own business, Worthy Up. Unfortunately, Janelle has faced an uphill battle as she copes with the aftermath of her divorce and the grief of losing her son, Garrison, in early 2024. She announced her aspiration to undergo a comprehensive “detox”in all aspects of her life by 2025, signaling a desire for healing and renewal.
The challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic placed immense strain on Janelle, especially when Kody requested their sons to move out—a demand she resisted. Post-divorce, Janelle concentrated on revitalizing her fitness and health, managing to shed some weight. However, compared to her sister wives, she often appeared less upbeat. Confirming her intent to detox and move forward came in January, aligning with her experiences of personal loss.
Janelle’s Strategy to Reclaim Her Well-being
Prioritizing Healthy Relationships
With several relationships draining her emotional energy, it’s clear why Janelle is eager to detox her life of negativity. She is determined to cultivate a healthier emotional environment by establishing boundaries and severing ties with relationships, like the one she had with Kody, that no longer serve her well-being. Janelle aspires to create a supportive network of friends and professional connections that align with her newfound goals and promote her growth—much like the communities that Christine and Meri have embraced.
Janelle’s Business Ventures as a Path Forward
The Launch of Janelle Says Clothing Line
As Janelle focuses on her future, expanding her business ventures has become paramount. Over the years, she has embraced multiple initiatives to remain productive and inspirational. Janelle previously engaged in a gut health community while supporting her friend Christine in promoting a weight loss supplement, which played a significant role in her health transformation. She also founded Strive With Janelle, a health coaching initiative aimed at motivating others to pursue their best selves.
Recently, Janelle launched Taeda Farms in North Carolina, a flower business designed to spread joy and positivity. The Taeda Farms website features a merchandise store, indicating her ambition to foster community through her ventures. In late 2024, she introduced a clothing line called Janelle Says, offering quirky T-shirts that showcase memorable quotes from Sister Wives, bringing humor and connection to her fanbase. Janelle’s entrepreneurial spirit not only paves the way for her independence but also reflects her journey toward healing and personal growth, following in the footsteps of her fellow Sister Wives who have moved on.
