"Every Choice Is Mine To Make": Sister Wives' Janelle Brown Is Working On An Important Project Amid Her 2025 Detox (She Finally Has Freedom)

Janelle Brown from Sister Wives is enjoying her freedom after leaving Kody Brown and now has big dreams for the future. She married Kody in 1993 and became Meri Brown's sister wife. A year later, Christine Brown joined the Brown family as Kody's third wife. Janelle and Kody had six children and had a strong relationship. However, things changed when Robyn Brown became Kody's fourth wife. Kody's obsession with his youngest wife, Robyn, created tension within the family. Eventually, Christine chose to leave the polygamous family, which encouraged Janelle to reconsider her troubled relationship with Kody.

Shortly after parting ways with Kody, Christine met her soulmate, David Woolley, and the new couple tied the knot in October 2023. Meri also ended her relationship with Kody in January 2023 and has since entered the dating scene. She is actively using dating apps and is looking for someone who shares her zest for life. Unlike Christine and Meri, Janelle has chosen not to pursue dating at this time. She appears content with her roles as a mother and a businesswoman and has no immediate plans to remarry. However, Janelle knows she doesn't want to be with Kody.

Just like her other Sister Wives, Janelle always remained faithful to her plural family. She cared for Meri, Christine, and Robyn's children as she did her own. She contributed her hard-earned money to a family fund accessible to all.

However, in recent years, Janelle realized her devotion to the Brown family was taken for granted. She is now prepared to enter a legal battle with Kody to receive her fair share of Coyote Pass property. Despite this betrayal, Janelle remains committed to achieving her dream of a happy family.

Janelle relocated from Flagstaff, Arizona, to North Carolina to be closer to her children and grandchildren, leaving Kody and Robyn behind.

After the loss of her adult son, Garrison Brown, she has made it her top priority to always be near her children. Janelle recently posted a video regarding her new business, Taeda Farm, in Chocowinity, North Carolina, stating, "finally putting down some permanent roots." Janelle is thrilled her kids can join her in running errands. She is so pleased with her move that she wants Christine to "get a second house" in North Carolina.

Janelle Is Free To Do What She Wants Without Anyone's Input

Janelle has an independent and free-spirited attitude, which is one of the main reasons she chose to be a sister wife. However, she felt controlled by Kody on several occasions, and their strong bond eventually became tumultuous. Kody often made financial decisions without consulting Janelle and suggested she should be more submissive and obedient like Robyn. Now that Janelle is no longer bound by spiritual marriage to Kody, she is free to pursue her dreams without interference. For the first time in many years, she can follow her path guided by her intelligence.

After leaving Kody, all three Sister Wives decided to pursue different paths. Christine wants to cherish the romance she missed while with Kody. Meri wants to date a man who will love her unconditionally. Janelle is trying to cleanse herself of the past. In a post shared at the beginning of 2025, Janelle said, "making space for greater peace and clarity by detoxing my life emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually." She clarified that this detox doesn't mean "deprivation" but "freedom."

Janelle added, "freedom from things that weigh me down, so I can make room for the things that truly matter."

Janelle is taking her 2025 detox goals very seriously and has started implementing changes to detox mentally. She posted a picture from her trip to Florida and talked about how she reduced her screen time in the morning because it was causing her to have a "scrambled" brain with "too many tabs open."

Janelle ditched the habit of reaching for her phone first thing in the morning, replacing it with "morning in prayer and meditation, reading and writing." Considering her need for freedom, it appears the Sister Wives star may have felt restrained in her marriage to Kody.
