Janey Brown

Janey Brown is a leading voice in the wellness and mental health space and the founder of Fearce Academy. With over a decade of experience coaching elite performers, Janey specializes in helping world-class athletes and top executives navigate burnout, restore balance, and unlock their full psychological potential.

A trailblazer in mental resilience training, Janey has built a career at the intersection of high performance and emotional strength. Through Fearce Academy, she delivers transformative programs designed to empower individuals with the tools to thrive under pressure and lead with confidence.

Her mission is clear: to help people not just survive—but fearlessly thrive—by maximizing their mental fitness and emotional intelligence. With a grounded yet inspirational approach, Janey is redefining what it means to be mentally strong in today’s fast-paced world.

Janey's perspective is hard-won. Over two decades in music, she performed in front of thousands, wrote and published songs with Grammy-winning and multi-platinum producers, and coached other artists, all while privately battling severe performance anxiety. Learning to face that fear became the foundation of her work today: helping others move through fear rather than around it.

Since launching Fearce Academy in 2017, Janey has reached people of all ages and backgrounds across North America through mental-health education seminars, motivational keynotes and trauma-informed coaching, including from the stages of SXSW and the Toronto Metro Convention Centre. She has also spent years teaching movement, mindfulness and mental resilience to corporate executives and to some of the most renowned athletes in the NHL.

Her approach is both heartfelt and scientifically informed. Janey holds a formal education in psychology and has completed 100 hours of trauma studies, giving her the academic grounding to pair real-world performance experience with evidence-based, holistic mental-health tools.

What sets Janey's coaching apart is that it comes from the inside. She teaches resilience not as theory but as lived practice, blending movement, mindfulness and mental-fitness training into programs for teams, athletes and individuals. Her keynotes and one-on-one coaching aim at the same outcome: giving people practical, repeatable tools to perform under pressure without burning out, and to turn fear into fuel rather than something to hide from.

Janey shares the heart of her method in her book, Fear To Fearce, an invitation to embrace your shadow, unleash your inner mental warrior, and maximize your psychological potential. Underpinning all of it is a simple credo she returns to again and again: "uplift others so they can uplift others."

Areas of focus: mental resilience and performance psychology, burnout recovery, emotional intelligence, confidence and fear, trauma-informed coaching for athletes and executives.
