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.)

Mindfulness as a Strategy: How to Use Awareness for Healing & Resilience
Mindfulness might be trending, but it’s not just a buzzword - it’s one of the most powerful tools I’ve ever added to my resilience toolbox. In this episode, I explore the real difference between mindfulness exercises and meditation, touch on the fascinating science behind its benefits, and share simple, approachable practices you can begin using today - no chanting, incense, or yoga pants required.
We’ll talk about:
- How mindfulness differs from meditation (and why that matters)
- The neuroscience behind how mindfulness supports healing and brain health
- Why mindfulness works for stress relief, anxiety, memory, sleep, and more
- Easy everyday practices like Mindful Breathing, the Sensory Check-In, and even Mindful Dishwashing
- Why mindfulness isn’t about “clearing your mind” — but learning to return to it gently
💬 Journaling Prompt:
“What would it feel like to be fully present, even for one minute, in the middle of your day? Where could I invite mindfulness into my life this week?”
