The Fulcrum Mindset Podcast
Hi,
Welcome to the Fulcrum Mindset Podcast. I’m Dr. Alice Ward-Johnson.
Here, faith meets strategy, and real transformation happens.
If you’re at a turning point, feeling the weight of your past and the pull toward your future, you’re in the right place. I don’t just talk about change. I’ve lived it. I’ve been through grief, failed marriages, single motherhood, professional challenges, navigating college, and mistakes made from inexperience. I’ve learned from every experience and turned those tough times into beautiful days.
Now, I’m here to support you as you move from where you are to where you want to be. In each episode, you’ll see the Fulcrum Framework in action: mindset changes, strategic moves, and faith-based wisdom to help you make real changes in your life. This isn’t about working harder or chasing six-figure promises. It’s about helping you become unstoppable in whatever goals you pursue.
If you feel stuck and need a way forward, or you’re ready for change but not sure what to do next, I’m here to offer clarity, strategy, and encouragement to help you keep moving.
Think of this as your third space: a virtual friend in your pocket and a reminder that you already have what you need to thrive!
Let’s think through this together.

Why Your Goals Keep Failing (And How to Actually Finish What You Start)
New year, new goals, but this time, you're actually going to finish them. Dr. Alice introduces the backward planning framework that turns your 2026 goals into clear, actionable steps so you know exactly what to do this week to build real momentum.
In this episode, you'll learn why most people struggle with achieving their goals (hint: it's not about discipline or motivation), and you'll walk through a simple 4-step process to take any big, overwhelming goal and break it into monthly milestones and weekly actions you can actually complete.
What You'll Learn:
- Why your goals keep failing (and what to do instead)
- The difference between planning and backward planning
- How to turn a massive goal into small, actionable steps
- The biblical foundation for planning with purpose
- A step-by-step exercise to map out your biggest goal for 2026
Key Takeaway: Goals are not achieved in your head. They're completed in your calendar.
