If you found your way here, you probably know what it feels like to put your feet on the floor in the morning, already behind in a race you wish wasn't a race.
When you dreamed of being a parent, the story didn't look like this. You were going to do things differently. Your children were going to feel safe and loved and alive. You didn't sign up for a daily grind of disconnected hurrying...but here you are.
And so am I. Because there is another way — and I've spent 35 years learning to live it and helping families find it.
The pathways below will meet you wherever you are in your story.

Take something home with you:
If you'd like a souvenir from the gallery, I've written two books—either of which might be exactly what you need to remind you how this beauty fits together.
Practicing the Art of Being Family - For your home ($12)
Education by Design, Not Default - For your classroom or homeschool ($12.99/paperback)
When you're ready to move from witnessing to experiencing—from seeing the art to practicing it yourself—the pathways below are waiting.
Sometimes breakthrough requires focused, unhurried attention—the kind that can only happen one-on-one.
Meet with Janet in person for 3-6 months to work on the specific patterns and stories that keep your family in survival or striving mode. This isn't about fixing what's broken. It's about uncovering what's been hidden and practicing agency together until it becomes second nature.
This is intensive, holy work—the kind that changes trajectories for generations.
Investment:
3-month package (9 x 90-minute sessions): $5,400
6-month package (18 x 90-minute sessions): $8,100
Private Family Consulting
For the deep work your family needs
Looking for a speaker or retreat leader?
The content I share through Table Conversations and the Transformation Series can be adapted for workshops, retreats, and conferences. I've spoken at national gatherings, church events, and leadership conferences - always focused on helping people move from exhausting performance to life-giving transformation.
Transformation Cohort
9-month apprenticeship where the art becomes second nature
This is the deep work. The slow work. The work that changes everything. We gather at our home twice a month for 9 months. Not to get through the curriculum, but to practice transformation together—in safety, in community, over time.
This is where souls get restored. Where control operating systems shift to agency. Where families learn to live FROM their identity in Christ, not strive toward it.
In our home - limited to 6 couples (not available online)
Investment - $2,400/couple
What's included:
17 in-person sessions (twice monthly, 90 minutes each)
Teaching grounded in Scripture, neuroscience, and lived experience
Community processing and guided practice
Email access to Janet & Doug
Materials and takeaways
Coffee, tea, and the beautiful atmosphere of our home
