    13 - Still Talking About… Monster-In-Laws (With Madison LeBlanc Barbosa)

    This week, Janelle is joined by her first-ever guest, Madison LeBlanc Barbosa, creator, mom of two with a third on the way, and the woman behind the viral Monster-In-Law series.   They talk about how Madison unexpectedly built an online community, why so many women feel isolated after becoming mothers, and how her Monster-In-Law stories completely took on a life of their own.   Janelle and Madison also get into some of the wildest themes that keep showing up in submissions, why in-law dynamics often go sideways long before kids enter the picture, and what happens when expectations around support, boundaries, and control collide.   This chat is funny, eye-opening, and the kind of conversation that makes you feel a little less alone if you've ever thought, "it can't just be me."   For more mother-in-law content, make sure you're following Janelle on Instagram and TikTok.   Treat yourself to something nice from Cozy Earth.

Drawing from research on meditation, neuroscience, and psychedelic therapy, Michael explains how rigid thought patterns, rumination, and ego-driven narratives can keep us stuck. They discuss how practices that quiet the mind don’t erase our identity, but soften it, creating space for clarity, creativity, and deeper connection with the world around us. In this invterview, you'll learn: How to Stop Living on Autopilot How to Train Your Attention in a Distracted World How to Use Curiosity Instead of Certainty How to Break Free from Mental Rumination How to Quiet the Ego Without Losing Yourself How to Interrupt Stuck Thought Patterns Awareness isn’t something you have to earn or master, it’s something you already possess. Small moments of attention, pausing before reacting, listening more deeply, and learning to sit with your thoughts, can quietly reshape how you experience life.

    12 - Still Talking About… Emotional Manipulation

    Before we get into this episode, trigger warning. Part of this conversation includes discussion of suicide and suicidal ideation.   This week, we're still talking about emotional manipulation. Janelle answers a deeply layered follower question about misaligned expectations between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and how quickly things can escalate when boundaries are ignored.   The follower shares a situation where her soon-to-be mother-in-law invited herself over, berated her in her own home, and lashed out over not having the close, "best friend" relationship she expected. When the fiancé defended his partner, the conflict escalated even further, including a call from the father-in-law claiming the mother-in-law was feeling suicidal because of the distance.   Janelle breaks down why expecting instant closeness without mutual effort isn't normal, how emotionally neutral behavior is often mislabeled as rude, and why yelling at an adult in their own home is never appropriate. She also talks about why many daughters-in-law are guarded, especially after past relationships or toxic family dynamics, and why building trust should look like any other adult relationship.   The episode really digs into emotional manipulation, triangulation, and misplaced responsibility, especially when adult children are made to feel responsible for a parent's emotional well-being. Janelle is clear about what is and is not appropriate, and why taking space after emotionally aggressive behavior is not the same as giving someone the silent treatment.   She talks about the importance of presenting a united front at home, the difference between shared boundaries and individual ones, and why the follower does NOT owe an apology for enforcing basic respect.   For more mother-in-law content, make sure you're following Janelle on Instagram and TikTok.   Treat yourself to something nice from Cozy Earth.

    11 - Still Talking About… The Beckhams

    Okay, we HAVE to talk about the Beckhams.   Since EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER has been asking… What is going on with Brooklyn Beckham and his parents?!   After Brooklyn shared some very pointed messages about his relationship with his mom and dad, the internet exploded. And a lot of women immediately recognized the dynamic. A famous mom, a powerful family, and a daughter-in-law who suddenly becomes the problem.   Janelle talks about the tension between Brooklyn Beckham, his wife Nicola Peltz, and Victoria Beckham, including the wedding drama that people are dissecting (we all wanna see a video of the alleged inappropriate dance, right?!)    Is Brooklyn just a nepobaby throwing a tantrum? Or is this what it looks like when a controlling mother-in-law can't handle her son choosing his partner over her?   This isn't about picking sides blindly. It's about recognizing patterns, especially the ones that feel way too familiar if you've ever been painted as "the issue" for simply setting boundaries.   For more mother-in-law content, make sure you're following Janelle on Instagram and TikTok.   Treat yourself to something nice from Cozy Earth.

    10 - Still Talking About… Your Questions

    This week, it's all about you and your questions.   Janelle is answering some of the most common and deeply personal questions she gets from her followers, including whether she's ever considered ending being no contact with her mother-in-law, if she worries about how her kids might one day understand that decision, and whether therapy has played a role in navigating mother-in-law issues as a couple.   If you've ever wondered whether you're doing the right thing, or questioned your own boundaries after outside pressure crept in, this conversation will probably resonate with you.    Grief, guilt, second-guessing yourself… It's all part of the package when you're navigating a difficult relationship with your MIL. So let's get real cozy and talk about it together.    For more mother-in-law content, make sure you're following Janelle on Instagram and TikTok.   Treat yourself to something nice from Cozy Earth.

    9 - Still Talking About… Navigating Relationships with Your In-laws

    There's no one-size-fits-all rulebook when it comes to navigating your relationship with your in-laws… and this episode proves it.   This week, Janelle answers a round of follower questions covering some of the trickiest, most uncomfortable situations women find themselves in. From being no contact with your in-laws while your husband and kids still see them, to navigating wildly inappropriate comments and expectations that cross every possible line.   She talks about the emotional whiplash of protecting your peace while still trying to keep things functional, what it looks like when your boundaries don't match your partner's, and why you are never wrong for trusting your gut.   For more mother-in-law content, make sure you're following Janelle on Instagram and TikTok.   Treat yourself to something nice from Cozy Earth.

    8 - Still Talking About… The Holiday Hangover

    The holidays are over… and if you're still recovering emotionally, you're are most DEFINITELY not the only one.    This week on Still Talking About It, Janelle has a full holiday season post-mortem for you. Because we all need it. What went well, what absolutely did not, and why family dynamics somehow feel even louder when there's a tree involved.   She's also sharing some of the worst (and funniest) gifts listeners received from their in-laws this year. It's giving confusing, passive-aggressive, and "did you even try?" energy.    If you opened a gift and had to fake a smile so hard your face hurt, then buckle up, buttercup! This one's for you.   For more mother-in-law content, make sure you're following Janelle on Instagram and TikTok.   Treat yourself to something nice from Cozy Earth.

    7 - Still Talking About... Grandparent Entitlement

    Some grandparents think that when they say "I want to see the kids", it means you should immediately pack everyone up, drive across town, clear your schedule, and magically make it happen.   This week, Janelle answers a follower question about dealing with grandparents who feel entitled to time with their grandkids, and who expect visits to happen on their turf… at their convenience… on one of your only two days off.   The reality of modern parenting is that most families have two parents who both work outside the home, endless chores, weekend sports, grocery runs, meal prep, and whole host of other things to get done on the weekends. Not to mention the basic human desire to literally just breathe for five minutes.    Expecting your adult children to somehow squeeze a 4 hour visit at their house every Sunday is actually super out of touch.    SO, how can you shift the responsibility back where it belongs? And, how can you communicate with your parents or in-laws that if they truly want a meaningful relationship with your kids, they need to fit themselves into YOUR routine, not the other way around.   If you've ever been made to feel guilty for not spending your precious weekend sitting on someone else's couch, this one's for you.   For more mother-in-law content, make sure you're following Janelle on Instagram and TikTok.
