Sister Wives’ Janelle Brown Reveals Why She Was Always Stressed Out After Showing Off Incredible New Look Amid 2025 Detox (Was Kody At Fault?)

Janelle Brown from Sister Wives has recently explained why she was always stressed in the past and couldn't enjoy being in the present. She first appeared on the show in 2010 alongside her Kody Brown and his other three wives, Robyn, Meri, and Christine Brown. Janelle was dedicated to her family and did her best to fulfill her responsibilities. However, Kody didn't show Janelle the love she deserved, causing her to end the relationship and move forward. Since then, Janelle has made significant changes in her life, including transforming her appearance and reclaiming her happiness.

While focusing on her fitness journey, Janelle has also been dedicated to her business.

Recently, she addressed some important questions about motherhood in a blog post on her business website, Taeda Farms. Janelle began by reflecting on what she would tell her younger self. Janelle admitted, "I would remind myself to take care of myself, too. I got so wrapped up in everyone else's needs that I didn't prioritize my own."

She then discussed the pressures she faced in the family, stating, "I was always stressed out. If I could go back, I'd tell myself to stop worrying about everything else and just enjoy my kids more." Janelle also offered advice to new mothers, emphasizing the importance of enjoying time with their kids.

Janelle said, "You know that sign that says, "The house was clean yesterday. Sorry you missed it." Embrace that! I wish I had. I should have let the little things go to hell…"

What Janelle's Advice To Her Old Self Means Amid New Post-Kody Life

Janelle Has Come To Realize The Value Of Investing Time In Herself

It is easy to understand why Janelle would want to advise her past self to prioritize self-care and focus more on her children. She spent almost thirty years in a relationship with her former husband, Kody. Despite it being a spiritual union rather than a legal marriage, Janelle dedicated a lot of energy to the relationship. She invested all of her emotions into the polygamous family and also contributed her own money to the family finances, which she feels Kody may have taken advantage of.
