For nearly three years, I’ve been living with a reality most people don’t see. After a freak accident that broke my middle toe and caused multiple injuries to my right foot, complications from Type 1 diabetes and other medical conditions prevented proper healing—leaving me with permanent damage, deformity, chronic pain, swelling, nerve issues, and mobility challenges. At the same time, I am: • A full-time caregiver • Managing multiple health conditions • Continuing to run and grow my media business In this Janette Behind-the-Scenes, I’m sharing the truth about: • Living and working through chronic pain • Adjusting to using a cane and limited mobility • Navigating a visible career with an invisible struggle • The emotional and professional impact of disability • Being excluded from opportunities—including media events and red carpets • The resilience it takes to keep going • And the unexpected silver linings This is also about advocacy. Disabled journalists and media professionals are often overlooked or excluded—despite years of experience and contribution. That needs to change. If you’ve ever faced setbacks, health challenges, or felt unseen—this conversation is for you. ✨ You are not alone. And your voice matters.

Women over 40 are facing a perfect storm—and no one is talking about it. In this Janette’s Take On, I break down why global instability—from rising costs and economic uncertainty to healthcare gaps and caregiving pressures—is disproportionately affecting women over 40. This isn’t just about money. It’s about responsibility, resilience, and being overlooked at the exact moment you should be thriving. If you’ve been feeling the pressure… you’re not alone—and there are reasons why. 💬 This conversation is for every SAVVY woman navigating life, reinvention, and reality in today’s world. 🔗 WATCH / LISTEN / FOLLOW JANETTE 🌐 Website: https://www.janetteburke.com 📺 YouTube:    • 👑 Janette’s Take On…   🎙 Podcast (Apple): https://podcasts.apple.com/ 🎧 Podcast (iHeartRadio): https://www.iheart.com/podcast/ 🎧 Podcast (Buzzsprout): https://www.buzzsprout.com/813170 📸 Instagram:   / janettes.tv   📘 Facebook:   / janettestv   🐦 X (Twitter):   / janettes_tv   💼 LinkedIn:   / janetteburke   📩 Media & Sponsorship Inquiries: janettestv@janetteburke.com Bookings@janetteburke.com 🔗 FEATURED / RELEVANT RESOURCES Statistics Canada (Women & Economy): https://www.statcan.gc.ca World Economic Forum (Gender Gap): https://www.weforum.org OECD Economic Outlook: https://www.oecd.org
