About Janet Franklin Topping

I’m a truth-teller, cycle-breaker, and storyteller devoted to personal and collective healing. Through my memoir writing, I confront silence, unlearn harmful legacies, and reclaim the voice that was buried beneath compliance and generational weight. My work is rooted in resilience, shaped by the discomfort I’ve endured, and driven by the transformation I now choose every day.

I write for anyone who’s ever questioned their place in inherited narratives—for those seeking clarity, courage, and connection. My journey isn’t just about overcoming—it’s about redefining what’s possible when we tell the truth with compassion.

Outside of writing, I find calm in birdwatching, witnessing grace through the lens of a discreet camera from my window. I’m also committed to wellness and reclaiming autonomy, navigating relationships with integrity and emotional strength. My smoke-free journey and the routines I build for comfort are part of that healing, too.

Every step I take is intentional—whether setting boundaries, uplifting others, or letting my story light the way. This is my reclamation, and I’m living it out loud.
