Starting over isn't easy and Sister Wives' Janelle is letting her fans and friends know that they're not alone. She recently shared a social media post about the transitional period that everyone experiences at one time or another. The sentiment was strong and her words were so powerful.

In her post, Janelle wrote, "Rebuilding your life is quiet work."

She added, "It doesn’t come with applause or big announcements. It’s usually happening in the in-between moments… the pauses, the deep breaths, the small choices that don’t look like much until one day they add up to something solid.

I used to think I needed to rush through this part. Like if I could just get past the messy middle faster, everything would feel better. But what I’m learning is that this space is where the real healing happens. The slowing down. The listening. The rebuilding from the inside out instead of stacking more on top.

There were days when rest felt wrong. When wanting more felt ungrateful. When growth felt lonely enough to question if I was even moving in the right direction. But now I can see that all of it was necessary. Especially the parts that felt uncomfortable."

She concluded with a message of hope, saying, "So if you’re in that place right now… where nothing feels finished but nothing feels broken either… keep going."

Janelle shared her experience, not knowing just how many hearts she would touch. We applaud her vulnurability and ability to connect with people going through similar situations!
