Talking about life happening…I grew up in poverty, loss my dad to gun violence, was a teenage mother, divorced…all before the age of 24. Through my journey, I learned the importance of healing in order to walk boldly in my purpose.
I’ve always had a passion to help others but didn’t know where to start. Things such as low-self esteem, fear, indecisiveness, lack of self-worth—held me back. I love seeing people win and be successful. As a woman, I’ve always worn many hats, and felt like I juggled them effortlessly, but I oftentimes forgot about myself along the way. I was determined that would not continue to be my reality.
“You have every right to live fully on purpose.”
Thus, Janell Jones Empowers was created. My goal is to reach other women who feel the same way by providing books, coaching programs, and motivational speaking to equip young girls and women with the tools needed to be successful.
I am a proud wife and mother of five. I call my blended family the “Jones Bunch”. I received an Associate’s degree in Psychology from The University of Phoenix and Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Social Work from The Ohio State University. I am a licensed clinical therapist and received an honorary doctoral degree in Healthcare and Leadership.
