Bravery and Blinders
Are you sure in your heart what you should be doing with your life but feel paralyzed to take action?
In Bravery and Blinders, Janel Lamb tells personal stories big and small that you, the reader will certainly relate to. By sharing her personal trials and successes, Janel hopes to help the reader realize that we have more in common than we may think and we can all learn from each other if we share our stories. Bravery and Blinders is a compilation of experiences, some funny, and some painful, with encouragement to put on blinders to shut out the negativity and focus on what is important in life. You will learn how to dig deep to find the courage to stand up for what is right.
In Bravery and Blinders you will learn:
- you can do hard things
- life will give you what you ask of it
- failures are many times disguised as successes
- why it is important to be politically active in America today
Tuning out the noise and negativity are keys to finding your purpose and going for your dreams. Having the courage to do what is right for you and your family is what Janel Lamb is passionate about. You will be inspired and encouraged to do so as you read Bravery and Blinders to be the best version of you that you can be every day.

Are you ever curious about what life would be like if you were married to a Politician?
Do you ever wonder how the spouses of law enforcement officers handle the increasing danger and pressure they face every day just doing their job?
Maybe you want to do something big in your life, but you just can’t seem to get past the imaginary barrier that’s holding you back because you feel too “ordinary”.
In “The Sheriff’s Wife: Holding it All Together Behind The Scenes in Politics” , Janel Lamb explores these topics with relatable experiences as a Wife, Mother, and support system to her famous Sheriff husband, and reveals how she learned how to “fake it till you make it” and face huge obstacles with grace under pressure. From depression and mom guilt, the campaign trail, and a visit to the White House, you will be inspired to go for big goals, even if you don’t feel like you deserve it or even know where to start.

1) You are the author of two books, “The Sheriff’s Wife” and “Bravery & Blinders”. Tell us a little bit about each book and what the driving force was behind writing each one?
2) Being a parent and grandparent in our current world is nothing like it was when our kids were young. What are your thoughts on how young parents can navigate the minefield.
3) Your husband has been elected Sheriff of Pinal County multiple times, and now he has just made a big announcement about his next campaign...how does your family handle the snakepit that politics can be?
4) Firearms and our Right to keep and bear them are under attack like never before in my lifetime. Politicians went from saying “we aren’t trying to take your guns, to ‘Hell, yes!’ that is exactly what we are doing. And there is an anti-gun group our there attempting to speak for all Moms (Moms Demand Action). They certainly do not speak for me – I demand and advocate for our Constitutional Rights – what say you to all of this?
