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.

In this episode, Dr. Johnson explores the idea of fear and questions the belief that we should avoid it. She explains that fear is a normal part of growing and can actually help guide us toward our goals. Using her own stories, she shows how fear often appears before big changes, like speaking in public or starting something new. She points out that successful people move forward even when they feel afraid. Dr. Johnson encourages listeners to see fear as a sign of growth and to face it directly while taking bold steps toward what they want.
During the episode, Dr. Johnson shares practical exercises to help listeners notice their fears, question them, and take action. She reminds us that courage means acting even when we feel afraid. By telling her own stories and offering clear steps, she helps her audience see their strengths and move forward toward their goals, even when fear remains.
