Over the last three decades, Janey Brown has performed in front of thousands of people, penned and published songs with Grammy Award-winning and multi-platinum producers, and has coached a variety of music industry professionals. She also has years of experience teaching movement, mindfulness, and mental resilience to corporate executives, as well as renowned athletes in the NHL, Olympics, and NASCAR.
As a result of battling severe performance anxiety for many years in her music career, Brown’s passion revolves around helping individuals face their fears to unleash their psychological potential, and to educate audiences on growth mindset, peak performance, and resilience. What was once her debilitating fear is now the passion that fuels Fearce Academy Inc., a wellness company she built to help musical performers, athletes, speakers, leaders, and everything in between conquer imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and burnout, so they can radiate confidence in front of any audience.
Since launching Fearce Academy Inc. in 2017, Brown has impacted people of all ages and demographics across Canada, the U.S., Mexico, and Europe with her mental health education and motivational keynotes. Her clients include leading global organizations such as RBC, Manulife, CBRE, Boston Beer Co., DPR Construction, BMO, Haleon, and more.
In 2025, Brown published her first book “Fear To Fearce,” a part memoir, part manual born from the trenches of transformation, blending over 30 years of performance experience with science-backed mental performance tools, journal prompts, and meditations, to “light your fear on fire and rise boldly into your spotlight.” Within its first week of release, it reached the top ten on the Stress-Management bestsellers list and came in one spot below Brené Brown’s “Daring Greatly” on the Self-Esteem bestsellers list.
As a trauma-informed Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with a Master of Counseling Psychology, Brown’s academic training grounds her dedication to ethical standards and a high-quality holistic approach to mental wellness.
Her mission is simple: Uplift others so they can uplift others.
"TURN YOUR FEAR TO FUEL AND TRANSFORM INTO THE MOST RESILIENT, CONFIDENT AND IMPACTFUL LEADER OR PERFORMER YOU CAN BE, WITH FEARCE ACADEMY’S EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE-BASED COACHING."
