An Inspired Chat with Janet Rae Orth

We recently had the chance to connect with Janet Rae Orth and have shared our conversation below.

Good morning Janet Rae , we’re so happy to have you here with us and we’d love to explore your story and how you think about life and legacy and so much more. So let’s start with a question we often ask: What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
I am pretty consistent with my morning routine. I have warm water with lemon first thing when I get up. After feeding my animals, I walk for about an hour. This is one of the best parts of my day. I love being outdoors and walking centers me. Then I come home and eat my breakfast. After that I typically start writing or do some phone appointments. The rest of my day is more varied but my early morning routing is important to me. It helps me focus, feel good and stay motivated.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Janet Rae Orth, and for over 30 years I’ve been helping people cut through confusion to find clarity, healing, and direction—using practical spiritual guidance that actually works.

I’m known as the ‘Practical Intuitive’ to my clients because I make spiritual concepts grounded and actionable. My background as an accountant before my spiritual awakening taught me that people need tools they can actually use, not mystical fluff. That blend of business practicality with deep spiritual wisdom is what sets my work apart.

My work includes private intuitive readings and energy healing with clients worldwide, teaching workshops on energetic boundaries and intuition development, and leading an annual immersion on manifesting. I’ve worked with everyone from Fortune 500 CEOs, celebrities, and professional athletes to people simply seeking their next right step—and many have been coming back for decades because the guidance creates real, lasting change.

I’ve been privileged to work at both Canyon Ranch and Miraval Life in Balance in Tucson, where I continue to serve clients today.

Right now, I’m especially excited about my book—a guide for sensitive people who are exhausted from absorbing everyone else’s energy. It teaches you how to create energetic boundaries that actually work, so you can move from anxious and overwhelmed to intuitive and empowered. It’s everything I’ve learned in three decades of helping people reclaim their energy, trust their inner knowing, and finally live the life they’re meant to live. It comes out in Spring 2026.

Whether through readings, workshops, or soon through my book, my goal is always the same: to help you reconnect with your inner wisdom, release what’s holding you back, and step confidently into alignment with your purpose. I work with clients worldwide by phone.

Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. What was your earliest memory of feeling powerful?
I clearly remember when I left home for the first time. I made a promise to myself: whenever I felt torn between what my head was telling me and what my heart was feeling, I would always go with my feelings. That decision changed everything.

For me, intuition is power. It’s the strongest inner guide we have—more reliable than logic, more honest than fear, and more accurate than anyone else’s advice. Others’ advice is meant to help us, but doesn’t always align with our true path and purpose. I talk about this in my book. Learning to trust that inner knowing, even when it didn’t make logical sense, became the foundation of everything I do now. That’s real power: trusting yourself completely.

What have been the defining wounds of your life—and how have you healed them?
As a sensitive and empathic person, I felt wounded every time someone judged or criticized me. I could feel it—they didn’t even have to say it out loud. When I was young, I internalized all of it. Those voices became my voices.

The healing came when I learned to release judgment energetically—to literally let it go from my energy field. This is what I teach in my workshops and write about in my book: how to create energetic boundaries so you stop absorbing the negative energy around you.

Learning to release others’ energy was the most defining transformation of my life. It freed me. And now I teach others how to do the same, because no one should have to carry the weight of everyone else’s opinions.

Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. Is the public version of you the real you?
Absolutely. That’s super important to me. I don’t know any other way to be.

And it’s something I tell people all the time: just be yourself. Whether you’re going for a new job, meeting new people, or going on a date—be yourself. If you’re authentic, things will either align with you or fade away. And that’s exactly what should happen.

If you’re not yourself, you might force your way into the job or the relationship, but it won’t fit who you really are. It won’t feel right. When you show up as yourself, life can match you right where you are. The real you is enough.

Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. If you retired tomorrow, what would your customers miss most?
Access to me. I actually sort of semi-retired once—I chose to stay home with my daughter for a number of years. My clients were supportive, and I went to great lengths to scrub myself from the internet.

When I started working again, I did a mailer to let people know I was back. I had clients call me and tell me they actually cried when they found out I was available again. They said they’d been searching for me, hoping I’d return. That’s when I realized: what people miss most isn’t just the readings or the guidance—though it is that. It’s the relationship, the trust, the connection we’ve built over years.

I work with my clients and their families. They refer me to everyone they know. So I become a trusted resource who fully understands all the issues that come up, the history, the growth, and the changes. Some of these clients have been with me for decades. That kind of loyalty humbles me.
