When Bridgitte Jackson-Buckley asked me to write the foreword for her new book, The Gift of Crisis, I knew I would say yes the moment I heard the title. I’m the poster child for the gifts of crisis. I am who I am because crisis came calling. As I say in the foreword: It’s not a crisis; it’s a crossroads. And Bridgitte is the goddess of that crossroads.

Join Janet Conner and her fascinating guests who share how they answered their souls’ callings. Each week provides inspiring stories, practical information, questions to inspire deep soul writing, and great reading recommendations. Then watch with joy as you, too, find the clarity and confidence to create your own soul-directed life.

Janet has a wonderful way of interviewing her guest speakers while at the same time sharing how she has struggled through her life and the many blessings she has encountered along the way. I am very grateful that she produced so many riveting podcasts, many of which helped me in my own life. Thank you, Janet! I love your enthusiastic and caring voice and all the wisdom you tried to impart to us, your listeners.

A woke woman

After 63 years on this planet I have finally found a source to help me understand the parts of me that were unreachable.  I knew there was a key because on occasion along the way others have helped open the door to my soul.  Not until Janet taught deep soul writing did I understand how to access this information and learn about my own soul.  

Janet does a beautiful job of bringing you along an amazing journey to discovery of your own soul and the infinite possiblities that lie within.  BRAVO for Janet Conner and her Soul Directed Life programs.
