Reaching 15 Million Women & Rebuilding Life on 20 Hours | Janette Burke
Description
Janette Burke is a women’s empowerment speaker, media personality, and television/podcast host who has reached more than 15 million women over 15 seasons of her own show. While many know her for her work in media, her most powerful message comes from her own life.
When her mother’s health changed, she found herself balancing caregiving while rebuilding her business around a 20-hour work week. That experience forced her to rethink success, identity, and what it really means to keep showing up when life asks more of you.
Today, Janette encourages women to embrace reinvention, resilience, and the courage to create a life that reflects who they are — not just what others expect of them.
In this inspiring conversation, Janette shares:
• What her ambitious 20s looked like as a young entrepreneur
• Building and evolving a PR firm into a media career
• Discovering her passion for being in front of the camera
• Balancing caregiving while running a business
• Rethinking success and identity during major life changes
• Encouraging women to reinvent themselves with courage
If you’re in your 20s (or any stage) navigating ambition, unexpected responsibility, or the need to redefine success, this episode offers real perspective and encouragement.
