About this episode

Janell explores how God speaks through gentle repetition and invites us to pay attention to recurring themes in our lives.

As we celebrate the Fourth of July and America's 250th anniversary, what if we paused to ask a different kind of question? What keeps returning? In this episode of The Heartlifter Way , Janell explores how God often speaks not through dramatic explanations but through gentle repetition—a recurring longing, a meaningful metaphor, a tiny oak tree with its acorn still attached. Discover how paying attention to what keeps returning can deepen your discernment, expand your capacity to notice God's invitations, and gently shape who you are becoming. Because sometimes the invitation that keeps returning is the one your heart has been preparing to receive all along. 🌿 Connect with Janell Rardon & Heartlift Wellness on Substack Website: ⁠⁠⁠janellrardon.com⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@janellrardon⁠⁠⁠ Substack: ⁠⁠⁠@heartliftwellness⁠⁠⁠ YouTube: Heartlift Wellness Download the "Principles of Discernment" PDF: ⁠⁠Trust What is Taking Shape⁠⁠ Download the "Discernment Prayer" to use during our Birth Season: ⁠⁠Prayer PDF⁠ Download ⁠"The Three Pots"⁠ Graphic to use during the meditative exercise.
