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.)

Flashback & Forward: A Letter to My 20-Year-Old Self (Revisited)
What would you say if you could sit down with your younger self - the one who was still figuring it out, making mistakes, and quietly becoming resilient without even realizing it?
In this special flashback episode, I revisit a letter I wrote to my 20-year-old self earlier this year - a mix of compassion, brutal honesty, and the kind of perspective that only comes from living through some of life’s hardest moments.
I originally wrote it for fun… but as you’ll hear, it turned into something deeply personal. If you’ve ever looked back at a younger version of yourself and felt the urge to say, “Oh honey, you had no idea what was coming…” or “I wish I could go back and hug you,” this episode is for you.
I also share a quick update from the current me - five months into this podcasting adventure (still kind of gobsmacked that I’m actually doing it!). I talk about how far this journey has come, and what’s coming next as we move into a more tender season on the podcast.
Starting in November, I’ll be shifting into a series of grief support episodes - real conversations about invisible losses, emotional overwhelm, and navigating the often complicated feelings that can arise around the holidays.
But today, we look back - with grace, humour, and maybe a little more self-compassion than we had when we were 20.
✨ If this episode stirs something in you - a memory, a moment, or a whisper from your own story - I’d love to hear it.
