What if the worst thing that ever happened to you turned out to be the best thing that ever happened?
After losing her childhood friend in 2010, Janeane belly flopped into a horrible funk. She turned to all sorts of outlets but realized that she needed to throw herself into something meaningful and inspiring. In 2011, she started hosting and producing a talk radio show called “Get the Funk Out!" on KUCI 88.9fm, where she had been a DJ since 2007. Janeane's guests shared stories and advice on how they overcame life’s funks - personal and professional, and what great things happened after they overcame a tough time. The show helped her heal and provided an outlet for others to share their stories and advice.
These meaningful conversations became the foundation for
"Get the Funk Out! %^&* Happens, What to Do Next!"
