For the One Like Me, this is a safe space for you to grow in life, faith, and business.
You don't need to have it all figured out—just the willingness to show up for yourself daily.
My name is Janae Carlee. I am a seasoned full-stack designer, creative consultant, brand curator, published author, spoken-word artist, and lover of Jesus.
I started writing at six and discovered the power of prayer at eight. At eleven, I gave my life to Christ while wrestling with the tension of peer pressure and God's presence until I fully surrendered at 21.
In between, I stumbled upon graphic design and discovered the power in my voice. I learned that pain is either your prison or your superpower—obedience and vulnerability are mine.
In a moment of surrender, I veered from pursuing a dream role as creative director for ESPN, choosing instead to walk uncharted territory by faith, one decision at a time.
As I walk, I write, speak, and design for the one like me, inspiring you to grow in life, faith, and business with each step.
In 2018, I published my first book, It Hurts to Heal, a journey of healing and self-discovery through poetry.
Healing hurts!
These pages contain short, personal reflections and conversations with the One who makes us whole—God.
After committing to the process, I wrote through the becoming. I learned about God as Father and a friend, leading me to become a new creation in Christ. As I toyed with the question, what happens when you start to look like a whole new person?
I published my second book in 2021, and both books are used simultaneously. They are reminders to embrace the process, submit to the pruning, build community, and celebrate who we are becoming by giving our best daily.
I am passionate about writing.
I created my signature journal collection to encourage accountability in journaling. The hardback printed keep-going journals have a beautifully designed cover, lay-flat gold spiral, over 300 lined cream-colored pages, and an intentionally written poem that is included to inspire you to keep going and moving forward.
Trusting God is the best strategy.
