Sister Wives star Janelle Brown has been through a lot in the last year, but her attempts to heal her family after making some life-changing decisions with her detox fueled signs she’ll leave the show. Janelle, who spent the majority of her time during Sister Wives season 19 asserting her newfound independence, has been doing what she can to make her way in the world throughout the last year. While it hasn’t been tackled on screen yet, the tragic passing of her son Garrison Brown, whom she welcomed with ex-husband Kody Brown, has taken a major toll on her life.

Janelle’s been spending her time more intentionally after Garrison’s passing, doing her best to ensure that she’s not solely living for herself anymore. Revealing her intentions in a new blog post on the Taeda Farms website, Janelle wrote about making her newly purchased farm a place for healing and connection for her whole family. “I have a lot of hopes for Taeda Farms,” Janelle shared, “I dream of building a successful flower farm…for healing, for connection, for embracing the slow.” Janelle explained that she hopes Taeda Farms ensures her children know “life isn’t meant to be rushed through but lived fully.”

What Janelle Brown’s Healing Era Means For Life After Kody

Janelle’s Being Far More Intentional & Independent

As Janelle has moved past her 30-year marriage with Kody, it’s been clear to Sister Wives viewers that her life has changed drastically since letting go of her difficult marriage. While Janelle’s relationship with Kody wasn’t all bad, it was definitely something that hurt her by the end. Janelle’s behavior throughout her marriage was different than the version of her fans are seeing now, as she wasn’t embracing her independence in the same way when she was thinking from the perspective of a sister wife. Now, single and happy, Janelle is thinking for herself and her children before anyone else.
