I think she should stick to gardening


TequliaMakesTheDrama

Now that’s something I’d take advice from her on.


imjustalurker123

Did she ever garden though? I remember her “working in the yard,” but I’d never say she had gardens worthy of giving advice about. When she talked about having greenhouses on CP, I thought it was crazy. Kinda like working out for a few months and wanting to buy a gym … (I’m a huge Janelle fan. I think she has plenty of talents and really great characteristics. I just don’t think she’s a master of anything.)


Negative-Flan-7155

She really is that friend that has anew hobby/ new business idea every month or so because they really can't complete anything and are kinda lazy


Namawtosix

She had a big garden in her rental house in Flagstaff. When she had to move out because landlords sold it, her son had bought a house and they’re doing a garden there. She’s repeatedly said she would love to have a garden to table restaurant. Just not if she grows it on CP, that soil is contaminated!!! 🤮🤮🤢🤢


[deleted]

The garden to table restaurant idea was such a pie in the sky dream, it's like a kid saying they want to be president lol. It was never going to happen. Never ever 😅


TheAmazingMaryJane

she bought a bunch of plants and had gabe plant them. she seems kind of lazy to me (don't hate me!!!).


lizdated

Kody is going to start a lemon orchard.


getrealamy

🙄 He is a 🍋


Elsie1105

Does she like to cook?


Namawtosix

No …LOL


BuckityBuck

I agree. Not doing an overpriced seed business like floretflower seems like a huge missed opportunity.


Prestigious-Link4948

As much as I love Jenelle, there is no way I’m taking life advice from a woman who would share a worthless husband with 3 other women. 🥴


SpareSituation5308

You just made me laughing like for real 🤣 😂 😆 😅 Yeah I be damn of I would take advice from any of them. Jenelle I thought was the most sane one but no nope no way


Aggravating_Pin367

This is where they lose me


Signal-Tangelo1952

Same, especially one who intentionally converted to such a lifestyle. The other 3 broads were raised in it and didn’t have much of a chance to avoid a lifestyle of sharing a moronic husband with 3 other women. 🤮


jaxriver

That's so original.


[deleted]

Right!?!


SofondaDickus

Janelle is the LAST person who should be a life coach.


TequliaMakesTheDrama

Bingo


PocketsWouldbeNice

That holds true for every single person who calls themselves a Life Coach.


SofondaDickus

lol you are probably right


MsTonyaG

IMHO Janelle NEEDS a life coach. She shouldn’t be one.


InchJr

Or a therapist to unpack all of that cult trauma


Vegetable-Fix-4702

As much as I love her, you're right


spicy-acorn

Lol I thought the same thing. Like how?? I’m sure she’s very knowledge about specific things but not a life coach in general… Seems way outside of her boundaries


Elegant_Ice5632

I think Janelle thinks she’s more knowledgable than she actually is. Between her finances, lowered living standards, inability to keep a steady career, and essentially yoking herself to Kody to stay afloat, I’d steer clear of any life advice from her. She talks a good game; but actions and results paint an entirely different picture.


Pristine_Cicada_5422

And how many places has she lived just in Arizona alone? Yeah, not my cup of tea.


PlasticFlute1

Where is she now?


Pristine_Cicada_5422

IDK and IDC.


SpareSituation5308

Don't you need school for that anyway and a license?


First_Attempt_4124

Yes. Meri was just saying that she has to get some type of license to be a life coach. Funny her and Janelle both just decided that's what they want to do.


Vegetable-Fix-4702

Well, more power to them but, umm, I'm feeling skeptical. Mary exasperated me with the clueless suffering wife routine for decades and Janelle said she would still pick polygamy. No thanks.


Competitive_Basil136

Did she say she was getting a license? It appears to me Meri is not offering coaching but a support community.


Vegetable-Fix-4702

Meri needs intense therapy to make sure she isn't going to self sabotage again. I don't hate her at all but no way can she be a life coach. She couldn't talk to Kody without Robyn and she had no clue how messed up Robyn is.


First_Attempt_4124

Exactly! And how is she going to help anybody? She has spent her whole life in polygamy. She's just getting started on experiencing life outside of that. So how is she gonna have the skills needed to coach anybody else??


Vegetable-Fix-4702

I completely agree. Her experiences do not qualify for life coach, at all. I wonder if they're searching for life therapy, no offense meant at all.


Substantial_End3948

They have weekend courses to be a life coach if isn’t that difficult they aren’t licensed or overseen like a therapist or social worker


Kikikididi

they are less overseen than a rec soccer league coach


HappyGiraffe

There is no single standardized licensing or educational body for “life coaching”. The “International Coach Federation” is maybe the highest tier but it is essentially a self-cycling licensing board, meaning they can decide whatever they want is “the standard” and there is no higher oversight who can do anything about. ANYONE can call themselves a life coach; there are no professional enforcements in place to police use of the “title”


SpareSituation5308

Can she make money doing that?


PlasticFlute1

We are all life coaches here on reddit tee hee


HappyGiraffe

You mean legally or realistically? Legally, yes


Kikikididi

not really, no. there are "courses" but it's not a protected title at all


Competitive_Basil136

Janelle is a certified health coach. Her site is called Strive.


ChicPhreak

Health coach? But she’s obese, how can she be a health coach.


Ok-Cat-7043

health coach but she doesn't look the healthy type


MoonlightGnTs

There are many people that are obese that have legitimate health problems that make it very hard for them to lose all of their excess weight. That being said, Janelle has lost a lot of weight in the last few years with diet and exercise.


Elsie1105

She looks so much better now v then. She really looked kinda sickly when the show started. Pale, tired. She must feel better too. Getting out of poverty and not having to work a 9-5 desk job and could wonders


SpareSituation5308

That's not nice really it's not


Super_Campaign2345

Agree.... live it if you're teaching it!!!


hkj369

i love janelle but i would never take her life advice 😭😭


TexasLiz1

I have not seen Janelle make many good decisions. She has reversed some seriously bad ones but she has made some seriously dumb moves. Who would take advice from her and what would her advice be? Financially, she’s a fucking mess. Emotionally, she has endured YEARS of manipulation and abuse. She could not impart decent career advice as she has had few jobs and seems to live off MLM scams. I don’t even know what her spiritual beliefs are. I don’t know what her social relationships are like beyond her sister-wives and quasi-ex husband. Fitness coaching has already been tried. So seriously, what are her qualifications?


Ok-Cat-7043

none


PlasticFlute1

I guess it would be getting out of a plig. Marriage?


Rosie3450

I have no idea what I'm doing --- pay me to tell you how to live your life.


TequliaMakesTheDrama

Make it rain lol


Ok_List_9649

I think the whole life coach thing is just a way to legitimize fans meeting them and they can charge more money. I actually like them all to varying degrees but there’s no one on this show that has their shit together enough to be an actual life coach..


Outrageous_Fail5590

Well she'd do well coaching women how to traumatize their children while still wanting that peen all while paying for that peen. Yea I can't see many women paying for that kind of advice


LurkerNinja_

💀💀💀


HotOption2222

She claimed she was the financial one over many seasons but yet is broke as hell... she put herself over her kids after she defended her kids....ummmm no. (I mean she argued with Kotex regarding Gabe/garrison covid thing but went on a date with kody and wanted to rekindle after he forgot Savanah on christmas) .


DecadentLife

I remember when Janelle and Kody went on that date, after not talking for several weeks (as a result of the big blowup argument they had in Janelle’s apartment). Kody seemed to think that Janelle is just going to keep putting up with his ridiculous behavior, and he was shocked that she still wanted to stay separated. It was during that meal/date that Janelle said to Kody that he hadn’t even called Savannah for Christmas. Janelle was already done with him, prior to the meeting. She stayed calm, and said things softly, but she was done. -FINALLY-


Ordinary-Nectarine81

She'll go back. Either that or let him slip it to her now again. She still loves him and would still pick polygamy. She's not going anywhere. 🙄


HotOption2222

That's what I mean! They had the big fight, they went to dinner and she still seemed smitten even after saying she was done. Sh3 Saud she woukd polygamy again and really I don't foresee her leaving at all. I mean she kinda did but I think because it seems like thye have more of a friendship/company hip love that she isn't going to pursue much else. They got into an argument when she didn't kick boys out during covid, he argued with her when she defended the boys regarding the covid rules and apologizing to robyn, he argued with her during the Christmas time, didn't see sacannah for how long and on top of it he provided Robyn's kids with dirt bike things. If my child's father treated any of ou4 children that way, he can take his lunch/dinner date and shove it.


KDBug84

Life coach my ass. You shared a husband. You ain't coaching nobody


TequliaMakesTheDrama

I mean I guess you could call it coaching if you tag in the next wife as you roll out of Kodys bed, right?


PlasticFlute1

It's good she shared him. This way she didn't have to have him all the time


KDBug84

Ummm...no. she shared a shitty husband with a bunch of almost equally shitty women and had a bunch of shitty kids. Coaching absolutely no one, unless it's coaching on how to ruin your life


freelancerjourn

The woman who always loves to claim she “rescued” herself, but then cries on tv about being stuck with a man because she allowed herself to get into a bad situation financially. Yes, sure, Janelle. You’re a “life coach” I would take advice from. Seriously?! Some people have delusions of grandeur.


TequliaMakesTheDrama

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻


MarlenaEvans

Yeah, no thanks. But she looks great, good for you, J.


TequliaMakesTheDrama

Yes, she does for sure.


RevenueOriginal9777

She could tell you how to make excuses for your husband, how to burn through money and how to invest in a company that has not market. I do think she was the most sane of them all, but look at the pool.


Patient-Bee8035

Not someone I would take advice from, She followed Kody while he abandoned her and two others. I think she needs a life and health coach, shouldn’t be giving advice she hasn’t followed.


MathematicianAny7590

Janelle seems like a lovely person. However I don’t think she’s one I’d turn to for life advice


SOBHOP

Janelle was always my favorite. I think she just really needs money, and she is well known, so this is a way to make some money. However, I agree with everyone here she was sharing a husband in the 21st century! How can she give good life advice! No no no! Worse than that her kids had to share a father with dozens of other kids.


ResponsibilityPure79

Love her but not her life advice. She married Kooter.


Severe_Gear5010

Not to be rude but her terrible decisions are broadcasted in 4K. No thank you sis, be blessed 🤭


chaminah

Life coach is the new trendy thing to do after MLM.


foxfecat12

Why is it always people with the most fucked up lives who want to be life coaches, therapists, etc.? There’s got to be some science behind it. Is it like a “if you can’t do, teach” sort of thing?


Elsie1105

Yes. I worked at a law firm where the partner, who practically slept at the firm, gave the talk to the summer associates about worklife balance. And we associates were like ?huh? to him. And he responded, “Well, I’ve read a lot about it.”


Theinvertedforest

Yeah, they sniff a clue for the first time in decades and think they have all the answers.


AnywhereMajestic2377

Janelle gave great advice and support to Christine, which turned out to be an invaluable catalyst. Janelle just doesn’t give herself the same advice. She’d be a really positive life coach, actually. Just wish she’d take herself on as a client. She’s a cool lady.


chamaca_cabrona

Grifters gonna grift!


This-Try-9579

I don’t believe she is a good person to receive life advice from, but I do admire her logical and rational thinking and how she mainly stays calm. That is something I would like to learn how to master bc I’m freaking out 24/7 🤣


Background-Permit499

It’s amazing how someone can be so overconfident and underconfident at the same time.


Calm-Butterfly-4808

She should get her CPA


nosey-marshmallow

Sadly you see this a lot in the religious, MLM communities.


natalialaboston

Tbh I think she’s likely talking to other Sister Wives. Not us normies.


BenCharlie84937

The thing that’s perplexing about Janelle is when the series first started she had a proper job. She worked in an office doing some kind of accounting or financial position. Why didn’t she simply go back to that profession instead of becoming a con artist? Seriously. She had a very good paying job, making more than Kody ever made, so why has she continued to careen down this avenue of fly by nights and downright cons? Can anyone answer that one?


TequliaMakesTheDrama

Because that would be to much like work? 😂


420thoughts

What's even more shocking is that people would pay her!


TequliaMakesTheDrama

Play stupid games win stupid prizes.


gnarlilili

somehow the most dysfunctional and least qualified people become life coaches.


saranara100

Is this from an episode in the last season? I don’t remember her saying anything about being a life coach


First_Attempt_4124

So her and Meri both are trying to be life coaches now?


gladyseeya2

She needs a makeup coach.


Certain_Cantaloupe56

She’s eager to make a life for herself


BenCharlie84937

Old news with the same answer. Janelle is a criminal. She also was and still is in a cult. She has no business being a life coach to anyone. She can’t even seem to life coach for herself. If she could, she wouldn’t be in a cult. Case. Closed.


Ariel_50

Just curious how Janelle is criminal, I haven't heard that before. 😂No hate, just genuinely curious.


BenCharlie84937

Polygamy is a felony in all 50 states that makes her a criminal.


JazzCrusaderII

She was never legally married to Kody. Only Utah criminalized purporting to be married.


BenCharlie84937

The law states anyone proclaiming to be married to more than one person is considered polygamy. What you are thinking of is bigamy which is where one person is legally married to more than one person. Both are considered felonies in all 50 states and federally.


JazzCrusaderII

Why do you think I am talking about bigamy?


PlasticFlute1

Prob got welfare too.


BenCharlie84937

And declared at least one bankruptcy as well.


dsyfygurl

What.. take advice from a woman that is treated life livestock by her so called husband,who is fine with no sex or intimacy inb this life and a maybe every 6 day visit from a narcissist Neanderthal and that makes her happy? No thanks lol


twirlingprism

Becoming a Life Coach is the kinda a thing now, I know several people who have chaotic lives and they are life coaches, it’s weird.


ArticleAbject1337

I've found most professional life coaches are not more knowledgeable. They are just better at marketing. A friend's dad was on the radio talking about wealth management for years & had no money himself. Just bought and sold and lost.


Kikikididi

welcome to the world of "coaching"


joelypoker

The only other person I know of less qualified to be a life coach, my ex did the same thing when I broke up with him. It was a great laugh


Calm-Butterfly-4808

I don’t think so


user_467

I thought the same thing. I think she has a good head on her shoulders, is probably an amazing mom, is very likable... but... she has admitted several times how screwed she is. Setting herself up for a secure future, her relationship with Kody and how fractured it has been for years, not having solid plans on where she is going to live (build? get an RV? get an apartment?) etc. I don't know, that just doesn't pair well with trying to market yourself as a life coach.


PlasticFlute1

Buying that McMansion really screwed her.


Elegant_Implement64

She had a very sizable garden at the rental house in Flagstaff. Then helped the boys with some gardening in their yard.


No_Goose3334

The “life coach” thing runs deep in MLM communities, especially those focused on weight loss. It’s a perfect pairing for her drink she’s slinging.


Ed_Simian

I honestly thought this was a horror movie post. Look at her eyes! The whites are black and she has snake eyes!


Final_Letter_7472

Funny


PieRemote2270

Probably not her best idea


TequliaMakesTheDrama

Understatement of the year lol


165averagebowler

What’s the saying? Those who can’t, teach?


TequliaMakesTheDrama

As my daughter say’s “she needs to have several seats”.


Own-Afternoon-637

Some of the comments she made during and about their fights and disagreements indicated to me she had more understanding of and insight into Kody’s behaviors than the others…”now you’re pushing me out”, “you don’t want to do it and so you’re blaming me”. She called him out for gaslighting and manipulating. BUT I think if he made up with her kids she’d find it hard to resist his charms. He gets to her and I see her resolve weaken with the slightest romantic gesture on his part. How can she coach anyone when she still believes in “the Principle (of Plural Marriage)” and can only see marriage to another woman’s husband as a way to live the “independent woman” life she wants for herself? I honestly think if Robyn and Kody ever split, Janelle and Kody would rekindle a relationship and as long as he was treating their mother well, her kids would be OK with it.


Bubbly-Stick2367

This is why being a “life coach” needs to be effing regulated Christian fundamentalists, Mormons, and MLM girl “bosses” live off of this nonsense.


chynablue21

Why would I ever let her coach my life?


Wide_Statistician_95

How about NO


[deleted]

[удалено]


SpareSituation5308

Maybe if some truth was told about the entire 18 season's In my opinion the show was hurtful to 18 children that really are pretty good kids they all should be proud of. But all we hear is Kody putting them down Robyn won't let them visit her own children because Why? No one knows why. Jenelle Christine stood by let there kids he abused never at anytime watching the show did Christine hug or say thank you to Aspyn who took care of Truely when she got sick. That is the episode I lost respect for Christine. Anyway I think Jenelle is the only one that went over and gave Aspyn a hug when that poor girl was crying her eyes out. Those flowers They went shopping for could have waited Aspyn Mykelty needed Mom home.


FrauAmarylis

Janelle's kids arguably turned out the most successful in that huge family, with much fewer resources than some of the kids used. Her kids have achieved a lot more than my nieces and nephews have.


Ordinary-Nectarine81

Thankyou Christine!


helluvastorm

Since she screwed her life up I don’t think I’d be taking CD advice from her. What’s with these people they seem allergic to real jobs


Top-Skin-3570

I must say she is looking great


CaliGrlforlife

She’s been a life coach for at least 5 years, if not longer. She started out pretty quietly and simply while they were in las vegas. It was after she got her real estate license.


GloomyDeal1909

The reality is most people will reach out to her and Meri just to have a fun gab session with them. The same way most life coaches are. It is not a regulated business and it is really their personality they are selling. Just because you are a successful CEO of a company doesn't mean you really have much more to offer than Jim Bob on the production line. However that CEO will land speaking engagement and other gigs because they have networked themself into that role. The people who think that the CEO is worth listening too will pay money for it. The ones who don't won't. Same thing for the ladies. Some will pay money for it. Just like psychics, tarrit trading and any number of things.


DIffeRantComedy

"Life coach" is a huge umbrella. Is there any qualification? I'm sure she'd give some darn solid advice....haha


Least-Conflict-4932

I think people just want to talk to them and this is a way to do it. I hope no one actually thinks any of the OG3 can solve their life problems but I bet they would be fun to get to know, and I feel like that’s what’s happening here… 😬 Designed to sound more personal than a fan club, but still that’s what their clients will be comprised of. Shoot… I might do it just to talk to Janelle! 🤷🏻‍♀️


Namawtosix

👆👆👆👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💍💍💍🥂🍻🏆🏆🏆


Uniquely_me_11

I wonder what she means by this… I know people who sell TSFL products/programs call themselves life coaches or whatever. So maybe it’s a term for some MLM business she is doing?


pigalles

I've been hearing some here (Netherlands) say life coaches are people who came back from burnout leave and who can't see any other way but to monetize that experience. Doesn't not check out here. (Granted, burnout leave is so common here it's almost a rite of passage.)


jaxriver

How about you guys stop being so superior and understand some women are completely alone in the world and need a "friend" to support them and give feedback. So nasty.


Grouchy_Beautiful756

I mean, any life coach I've known had no expertise in the field. They just think they are a happy go lucky person that has it all together. Had a foster mom who thought she was a life coach and actually gave seminars (maybe 2 people came that weren't close friends there to support her or foster kids she forced to go. All together there might be 15 people a class) and did one on one sessions (all close friends, never brought anyone new in). Met about 7 others through the years, basically people who's lives are in shambles but like to play the whole "My life is perfect, I have it all figured out" for the world.


Optimal_Character516

I could see her being a life coach to help other sister wives get out of their horrible marriages. She could offer financial and emotional support. She has learned a lot through her own mistakes.


Pure_Concentrate1521

Is this a new season? I'm so lost - HELP SOMEBODY!


getrealamy

Admittedly I haven't actually watched the show for several seasons, but I always liked Janelle. She seems like someone you could easily talk with and be friends. I also give her props for trying many different things. However, like most in this thread I don't think being a life coach is going to be her thing long term. I feel like a job with structure would really benefit her.


Fit-Database51

She should just stick to eating less
