This woman, right here—yes, her—she was still lost.

Would you have guessed by her outward appearance?

Outspoken. Outgoing. Outstanding. At least, that's how everyone else would have described her less than eight years ago. But beneath the surface, there was so much more that most people never noticed or would even understand.

Outdone. Outmastered. Outnumbered. That’s how she defined herself in hindsight. She had been searching for external validation, hoping it would make her feel like she belonged to a greater purpose. She craved outside recognition, believing that was the measure of her success. She thought an outpouring of acceptance would finally allow her to feel at peace with who she was.

That’s why she was lost. She hadn’t yet realized that none of those things were necessary. All she needed was to define and reclaim her authentic self. That’s the truth she eventually had to face.

She had moved through life like a ghost, with her identity shrouded in uncertainty. Each day felt like a foggy walk through unknown terrain, her steps uncertain, her soul searching for clarity. She was constantly seeking the key to unlock the mystery of who she was.

Her purpose.

Then, she found her. She accepted her. Loved her. She stood by her and listened—listened to the dreams and aspirations that had been abandoned, seemingly in another lifetime. She understood the deep-seated traditional values that had always guided her. She recognized the inner strength built from a lack of knowledge or support and from surviving abuse, which had led her to self-discovery and empowerment.

Her name is Janice Pocatello. She encourages women to honor their intuition and never deny its power. She believes in the importance of the family unit and finds fulfillment in the roles of nurturers and leaders within homes and communities. Compassion, to her, does not equate to weakness—it means maintaining high standards and setting clear boundaries, which are the ultimate forms of self-care.

Janice is here with a renewed purpose: to help others define their values, communicate clearly, build self-esteem, establish boundaries, embrace self-care, pursue continuous learning, improve self-image, practice flexibility, engage in self-reflection, and foster community support.

She invites women to uncover who they are—outwardly and uninhibited.

From childhood bullying and struggles with self-esteem to marital obligations and trauma, to overcoming addictions—Janice covers it all through her personal experience.
