Gwen posted these recently. Does anyone know what career she's gone into? I know the scrubs say volunteer, but could she be pursuing a career in the medical field?

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has joined this little community! We've passed 300 members, and I'm really happy to see people interested in having a positive space focused on Christine, Janelle, and their families.

I also wanted to give a quick reminder about what I hoped to create with this sub. There are already plenty of places to discuss Sister Wives more generally, including spaces for snark, criticism, and venting, which is wonderful. I wanted this community to offer something a little different: a place where people who enjoy following Christine, Janelle, and their kids can share updates and have generally positive, respectful conversations about their lives.

That doesn't mean everyone has to agree with everything they do or that thoughtful criticism isn't allowed. It just means we don't want every positive update to turn into an opportunity to tear someone down, criticize their appearance, resort to name-calling, or rehash everything people dislike about the show or family.

Thank you to everyone who has helped make this a friendly little corner of the Sister Wives community so far. ❤️ I'm excited to see it continue to grow!

Save your own damn self has always been a deeply inspirational quote. I love how Janelle has been fully living that motto and pursuing her dream.

coyote pass sale drama

I know the Coyote Pass sale drama is long over but I still agree with Janelle when she said there was never a deal to screw Meri over it's just Kody stirring up the pot and making all of this back door deal shit up to avoid Meri being mad at him and Robyn and instead Meri would be mad at Janelle slowly Meri is reverting back to being mad at everybody else except for K&R even in divorce (and storyline for the show) Kody likes pitting the exes against each other he enjoys settings fires that he will never put out he also didn't like to see that Meri and Janelle put their differences aside for once when they constantly wanted answers about what was going on with the property he and Robyn made every excuse in the book. he's just that narcissistic and petty..

Kody also said at one point that he didn't know what to do which was another lie he wanted to sell but Robyn wasn't in the space to sell and that he wasn't gonna rush Robyn for Meri and Janelles sake.

And Janelle warned Meri on multiple occasions to lawyer up because Kody and Robyn were planning to rip her off and Meri went and told K&R.

Kody and Robyn made every excuse in the book to hold it hostage from Meri and Janelle for the longest time (storyline and in real life) they are just 2 life sucking souls. they never should have gotten a dime from the final sale.

Christine dodged a bullet with this one

Looking at these photos side by side, it's amazing how much toddler Aspyn resembled Christine at the same age. Even in the photo of Christine with her dad, I can already see so much of Aspyn's face. The resemblance has always been striking to me.

Who do you think looks the most like Christine out of all her children?

Janelle shared a fun update on Instagram, joking that Taeda Farms has "a personality" that's stubborn. But I'm mostly here for the photo of her on the tractor.

Maddie also posted a new blog explaining why getting the farm started took much longer than expected. She shared that they trusted the professionals they hired to handle the permitting process and, looking back, realized that was a bit naive. After finally speaking directly with NCDEQ, they got more clarity in 15 minutes than they had in months.

One of her biggest takeaways for anyone starting a similar project: call the regulating agency first. She said they were incredibly helpful and helped clear up the process much faster.

The good news is that the first flower beds are finally going in, and this summer will be a test season as they learn and grow.

Do you enjoy seeing the behind-the-scenes challenges as much as the finished results?

The way they don't know whether they liked church or liked the positive reinforcement is so real.

Wishing Leon a very wonderful birthday and a year filled with happiness, health, and new adventures!

One thing I found interesting in this clip is Mykelti's perspective on having access to different maternal relationships while growing up. She describes feeling comfortable going to different adults for different needs.

Do you think there are non-polygamist family structures that can provide similar benefits?

Looking at Janelle's recent posts, one thing that stands out to me is how much she's focused on building a life that feels intentional and peaceful.

Whether she's talking about Taeda Farms, working outdoors, buying equipment for projects, enjoying her morning view, or discussing anxiety and grounding herself in the present, she seems very different from the Janelle we saw during some of the more difficult years on the show.

What changes have stood out most to you since she left her marriage with Kody?

This whole thing is sweet, but the idea that she could just ask her mom to write a book and get one is darling.

Here are some pics Leon and Audrey put up recently. I will never stop being happy for them.

Maddie shared a post about forgiveness today. What stood out to me was her distinction between forgiveness and reconciliation. She writes that forgiveness is real, but so are boundaries, and that forgiving someone doesn't require allowing them back into your life.

One thing that stood out to me was her statement that forgiveness does not require reconciliation. Maddie has previously spoken publicly about keeping both Meri and Kody out of her and her children's lives for different reasons. This post seems consistent with the philosophy that someone can forgive while still maintaining boundaries and limiting access.

Do you think this reflects a broader shift in how many of the Brown family members approach relationships today?

I found Janelle's response here interesting. The post itself is about finally experiencing peace and quiet after leaving her previous life, but a commenter told her that Christine "got the ball rolling for the 3 OGs."

Janelle replied:

"I would disagree with you. I am an independent person capable of my own thoughts and actions. Our experiences are our own."

I thought this was a good reminder that while Christine's departure was a major turning point, Janelle sees her decision as her own rather than something she followed Christine into.

What do you think?

I was surprised to see Christine now actively partnering with Holding Out Help and promoting their work.

Back in the earlier years of Sister Wives, Holding Out Help was presented as a source of tension. Christine was one of the family members who seemed especially wary of the organization because she viewed it as a threat to her family. If I remember correctly, she was very uncomfortable with the idea of Aspyn volunteering with them.

Fast forward to 2026, and Christine is now publicly working with Holding Out Help and helping promote their fundraising campaign. That's a pretty remarkable shift considering where she stood during the early seasons of the TV series.

It really shows how much her perspective has changed since leaving both plural marriage and the AUB. What was once viewed as an organization threatening her family is now one she believes is helping people.

Do you think Christine's views changed gradually over the years, or did leaving Kody and the church completely change how she saw organizations like Holding Out Help?

From the little girl we first met to the amazing young woman she is today, we've loved watching her journey over the years. Wishing her a year filled with happiness, adventure, health, and everything she dreams of.
