Welcome to For the One Like Me!
I’m Janae Carlee—a writer, speaker, and lover of Jesus passionate about helping women live with obedience, create from identity, and take daily intentional steps forward.
Here, we don’t wear capes. Instead, I’ve created a safe space for you to become everything God has spoken over your life through small, steady steps while navigating the in-between.
My story began when I discovered writing at six, the power of prayer at eight, and gave my life to Christ at eleven. The years between were marked by wrestling with peer pressure, puberty, and God’s presence until I fully surrendered at 21. Along the way, I stumbled into graphic design and discovered the power of my voice.
Though I once dreamed of becoming a creative director for ESPN, I chose to walk uncharted territory by faith—one decision at a time. That journey taught me that pain can either be your prison or your superpower. For the last six years, I’ve dedicated my work to helping women break cycles, overcome stereotypes, focus on one idea at a time, and create a digital presence with the freedom to evolve.
Those small, intentional steps have led me to write two poetry books, It Hurts to Heal (2018), and But Healing Does Come (2021), and create my signature Keep Going Journal (2021). Each project serves as a reminder to embrace the process, submit to pruning, build community, and celebrate who we’re becoming by showing up daily. I’m a big believer in documenting the journey as stones of remembrance for what God has done.
Slow and steady is still growth. This space is for the one like me who loves Jesus and desires to become everything He wrote because trusting God is the best strategy.
I currently cohost the Yup, We Said It Podcast with my pastor. It’s an intergenerational conversation exploring the intersection of faith and culture for seasoned leaders and emerging voices.
Also, I am writing a book around obedience, endurance, and transitions as we navigate saying yes to God, trusting Him in the “in-between” of His promises.
