SISTER Wives star Janelle Brown opened up about feeling “confident” in a bathing suit after years of being insecure.
Janelle, 50, visited her oldest daughter Maddie, 24, son-in-law, Caleb, and grandchildren, Axel and Evangalynn, in North Carolina this week without her husband Kody.
The health coach, who is owner of fitness company Strive with Janelle, opened up about feeling “confident” in a bathing suit during a trip to the beach.
She captioned a selfie: “For years I made excuses about going anywhere that required swimsuit. All of my insecurities… As I became more accepting of my wonderful body and all the things it could do I became more confident.
“I’m a work in progress for sure but I missed out on so much fun through the years. No more! So here is my yearly post about how to go to the beach. Put on your suit and go.
“This year of course be sure to distance and wear your mask when appropriate- today was pretty much coming and going from our actual spot.”
Janelle, who recently opened up about her skin cancer battle, ended the post with: “P.S. – it has been wonderful to spend a few days with Maddie and the babies.”
The mom of six also posted a photo of her son Gabriel, 18, and daughter Savannah, 15, with her grandson in the water.
She captioned the sweet family photo: “Took a few days to come visit @madison_rose11 and family. Spent a day at the beach.
“Uncle Gabe rocked. He spent the day with Axel in the waves letting him play and keeping him safe. So grateful for family. #beachday #grandmalife #northcarolina.”
But missing from the trip was Janelle’s husband Kody, as he was not photographed or mentioned in the posts.
Kody, 52, is also married to first wife Meri, 49, who he shares one daughter with, Christine, 48, who he shares six children with, and legal wife Robyn, 41, who he shares five kids with.
The solo trip comes weeks after Janelle teased she’s having marital issues with her husband Kody.
She wrote on Facebook in June: “This is me – sitting in my office – getting our taxes ready for the CPA – this is one of the most stressful things I do all year. I have, in many years past, munched my way through the week, the week being the time that it usually takes me to complete the process.
“So far so good. I know I’m not hungry – it’s just the stress talking. But it is so seductive isn’t it? To just give in. Stay strong!”
In the background, there was a piece of art hanging on the wall of a sad face mixed with dark colors.
She said of the cryptic painting: “P.S. – the art in the background was an impulse buy from a local art shop – I think it’s called dreams – but it’s for a dark tone to it – maybe the dreams aren’t happy – don’t know – it appealed to me.
“But today maybe it’s the weird dreams you get when you are stressed out lol.”
Amid the marital drama, Janelle has been focusing on her health.
On her Strive Facebook page, Janelle has been posting healthy recipes.
She has also been posting about her walks in Arizona with her sister wife Christine.
Janelle recently offered a giveaway to raise awareness for her health coach services.
How is Maddie and Caleb’s baby doing from Sister Wives?
Maddie and Caleb welcomed their baby girl, Evangalynn Kodi Brush, in August of 2019.
Upon finding out about her pregnancy, Maddie began her routine exams and went in for an ultrasound at 26 weeks.
While there, the doctors took longer than usual and told the couple that they couldn’t find all ten fingers on the baby.
Doctors diagnosed the baby with oligodactyly, a condition for people who have fewer than 10 fingers.

On Wednesday, Janelle revealed she recently finished her first year at the Joyful Belly School of Ayurveda and is working with the school to gift some of her fans a “$999 scholarship to their Ayurveda certification programs.”
The Sister Wives star added: “In my health coaching business, I work with many women who are like me. Women have often put their self-care on hold while taking care of family or building careers and businesses.
“They often have tried every diet and still find themselves not satisfied with their bodies or health.”
Ayurveda is a system of holistic medicine.
The Sister Wives star added: “It’s a dynamic way of approaching your health by tuning into your own body. I am very happy I started working towards completing my basic Ayurveda Health Counselor certification.
“I feel it has helped me immensely personally and has provided me with a lot of resources for my clients.”
