Transformative Journeys - to Growth and Resilience
Welcome to Transformative Journeys – the channel where growth meets grit, healing gets honest (sometimes the “I can’t believe she said that” kind), and resilience means practice-makes-progress.
If you’ve ever hit a breaking point, questioned everything, or felt like the old “you” doesn’t quite anymore-you’re not alone.
Hosted by Johanna, a resilience rebel with a wicked sense of humor and a heart for healing, this channel explores emotional wellness, self-compassion, and what it really means to bounce back (even if you're held together with duct tape and caffeine).
Here you’ll find:
Podcast episodes every other Monday
Shorts with bite-sized insights and tough-love pep talks
Tools rooted in neuroscience, story-telling, and lived experience.
No perfection. No toxic positivity. Just grounded support for navigating the messy middle of healing and growth.
Because transformation isn’t about “getting over it.”
It’s about growing through it.

You can now “buy me some duct tape” (a.k.a. help fund future episodes, free tools, and all the behind-the-scenes chaos that keeps this going.)
