In this episode of Coffee Unlimited with J & D, we explore the courage and clarity behind one small but mighty word: no. Inspired by Janelle’s Monday Mindset newsletter, the conversation dives into why we often over-explain our decisions, how fear of disappointing others shapes our responses, and how learning to say “no” without justification can be one of the most empowering shifts we make — at home, at work, and in our relationships.

Through personal stories, parenting moments, and even workplace examples, Danielle and Janelle unpack the freedom that comes with setting boundaries. You’ll hear reflections on teaching kids about authenticity, navigating guilt, and practicing self-respect — plus a little detour into the fascinating world of how we “hear” when we read.

If you’ve ever struggled with people-pleasing or found yourself saying “maybe next time” when you really meant “no,” this episode will help you step into your confidence and protect your peace.

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.
