In this lighthearted “workout edition” of Coffee Unlimited with J & D, Janelle and Danielle share their candid, funny, and very real approach to fitness.

From ditching high-intensity classes halfway through, to admitting they’ll never love the StairMaster, they talk about what movement actually looks like for them—and why it doesn’t need to be hardcore to matter. They cover everything from electrolytes that taste like candy, to bar and yoga classes, to the importance of community over machines and intimidating gyms.

With plenty of laughs and playful honesty, this episode is a refreshing reminder that working out doesn’t have to be about perfection—it can be about finding joy, connection, and what truly works for you.

In this week’s episode of Coffee Unlimited with J & D, Janelle and Danielle open up about the real, unpolished truths of long-term relationships.

With over two decades of marriage each, they reflect on how their expectations have shifted—from wanting to be placed on a pedestal to learning that love is built in everyday actions, patience, and presence. They share candid stories about jealousy, airport pickups, romance novel expectations, and how communication styles can either create friction or build resilience.

Drawing on personal anecdotes and metaphors (including a rainbow of love that evolves from passion to depth), Janelle and Danielle remind us that relationships aren’t static. They grow, transform, and require us to let go of perfection while embracing the many colors of companionship.

In this heartfelt episode of Coffee Unlimited with J & D, Janelle and Danielle explore what it means to reclaim joy in a world that often pushes us toward speed, productivity, and outcomes.

Danielle shares a moving story about reconnecting with the piano—a lifelong thread tied to her late mother—and how it has become a practice of joy rather than pressure. Janelle reflects on the beauty of choosing simple rituals, from flipping through magazines to writing with a fountain pen, and how these small acts can transform our days into something more meaningful.

Together, they discuss the power of slowing down, why joy feels different from happiness, and how reclaiming joy is not just about nostalgia but about actively choosing presence in our lives today.

In this episode of Coffee Unlimited with J&D, Janelle and Danielle dive deep into the meaning of authenticity—what it is, why it matters, and how it evolves as we grow.

They share candid stories of times they tried to fit in, and how exhausting it was to play a role instead of being true to themselves. Danielle tells a bold (and hilarious) story about proving authenticity during her Chopra Center days, while Janelle opens up about bringing her whole self into job interviews, even sharing her journey with depression.

Together, they explore why authenticity isn’t just about being real—it’s about knowing your values, finding where you truly belong, and having the courage to show up unapologetically.

Listeners will walk away with this reflection:

Do you want to spend your life trying to fit in, or do you want to live in the places where you truly belong?

In the final episode of our “When Beliefs Start to Crack” series, we dive into one of the most deeply held—and often unquestioned—areas of life: our careers.

From the traditional belief that success means climbing the corporate ladder, to the idea that résumé gaps signal weakness, Janelle and Danielle share personal stories of how these beliefs cracked wide open. You’ll hear:

- Janelle’s moment of reckoning as a new mom at Nike, realizing the cost of chasing titles at the expense of family.
- Danielle’s unconventional career path—from Cats in Hamburg to yoga leadership in Vancouver—and how happiness (not linear progression) guided her way.
- The power of mentors and parents who encourage authenticity, even when it doesn’t fit societal molds.
- Why fulfillment and happiness are better compass points than prestige or predictability.

This is an honest, unfiltered conversation about choosing happiness, rewriting career rules, and giving ourselves (and our kids) permission to take paths that don’t look “traditional.”

Our “When Your Beliefs Start to Crack” series continues with a heartfelt listener-request episode focused on parenting. Janelle and Danielle explore how kids form beliefs about themselves and the world—and what we, as parents, can do to guide them toward healthier, more empowering stories. From schoolyard struggles to big feelings of “I’m not enough,” they share personal parenting moments and practical tools for helping kids build emotional resilience and confidence.

In the third installment of our “When Your Beliefs Start to Crack” series, we step into one of the most personal spaces where beliefs live—faith and spirituality. Janelle and Danielle open up about their own evolving relationships with religion, identity, and belonging. Through honest and compassionate storytelling, they explore how questioning deeply held spiritual beliefs can feel unsettling—but also create space for growth, freedom, and self-trust.

This episode continues our “When Your Beliefs Start to Crack” series, where we explore how the stories we create about ourselves—and the world around us—shape the way we live and lead. Janelle and Danielle share personal reflections on how these stories are formed, why we cling to them, and what happens when we start to challenge them. It’s an invitation to pause, reflect, and begin questioning the beliefs holding you back.
