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.

Transformative Journeys - to Growth and Resilience
The Art of Unlearning: Limiting Beliefs and Why Shedding Old Stories Is a Superpower
What if the biggest thing holding you back isn’t a lack of motivation or talent… but an invisible chain in your mind, forged by beliefs you didn’t even choose?
In this episode, Johanna dives into the science and psychology of limiting beliefs - those sneaky, fear-based inner narratives that shape what we think we deserve, what we’re capable of, and what’s “possible” for us.
We all have them:
🧠 “I’m not good at...”
🧠 “I’m too old...”
🧠 “People like me don’t get to do things like that.”
Drawing from neuroscience and psychology, Johanna explains how our brains literally wire these beliefs into our neural circuits, how to rewire the brain through neuroplasticity, and practical strategies to start unlearning the stories that keep you small.
You’ll learn how to spot your limiting beliefs, challenge their accuracy, and gently reframe them into something more empowering - including one surprising trick that can literally snap you out of old thought patterns.
Learn how taking small actions can help you build confidence one step (and one win) at a time.
Because sometimes, the key to growth isn’t learning more - it’s unlearning what was never really yours to begin with.
💜 Listen in and start rewriting the stories that shape your life.
