Stand Tall & Own It - Irreversible Recognition
Something shifted. You can feel it. You just can't name it yet.
Stand Tall & Own It is for women in the second half of life who are high-functioning on the outside and quietly disoriented on the inside. You built your life inside systems you trusted completely — until something revealed those systems weren't what you thought.
Host Andrea Johnson doesn't offer formulas. She offers honest thinking, sharp observation, and the kind of conversation that makes you pull over and sit in your driveway.
This is where the real work starts.

Have you ever wondered how to differentiate the guiding convictions that define who you are from the fundamental truths that steer your behavior? This episode is for you!
In this episode, you’ll learn the difference between Core Values and Life Principles.
There are three quick steps to see if your Core Values are actually your Life Principles:
- Inside vs. Outside: It's essential to move from imitating others' principles to defining your own for sustainable, impactful leadership.
- Honoring vs. Aligning: Differentiate between honoring your values—holding them in great respect—and aligning with behaviors that might only modify your actions superficially.
- Your Authority vs. Someone Else’s Authority: See how reinforcing your authority helps you show up authentically, whereas borrowing someone else’s principles might not fully represent who you are.
Practically speaking, understand how both core values and principles give you a realistic roadmap for showing up as your best self.
By the end of this episode, you'll have a clearer understanding of how your Core Values act as your compass, while your Life Principles serve as your mode of transportation. You'll see how borrowing principles - like Intentional Optimism - can be a great starting point, but living out your own principles, aligned with your core values, is key to authentic and impactful leadership.
