Transformative Journeys - to Growth and Resilience
Transformative Journeys – to Growth and Resilience is a podcast about healing, resilience, and rising from the ashes — one messy, meaningful step at a time.
Whether you’re navigating grief, loss, burnout, or simply trying to reconnect with your purpose, you’ll find real talk, reflection, and practical tools to support your next chapter.
Hosted by Johanna LeRoux, it’s your cozy, no-BS guide to growing through what you're going through - helping you find purpose and walk the powerful path from surviving to thriving... with a healthy dose of sass on the side.
Because transformation isn’t about “getting over it.”
It’s about growing through it.

Episode 25: Who Am I to Start a Podcast? – Doubt, Courage, and Doing It Anyway
What does it really take to start something new - especially when you feel unqualified, unsure, or scared out of your mind?
In this deeply personal, behind-the-scenes episode, I’m sharing the real story of how this podcast came to be. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t overnight, it wasn’t pretty, and Imposter Syndrome still lives rent-free in my brain. But I did it anyway.
From scribbling topic lists in notebooks, to putting the podcast mic I wanted in and out of the "shopping cart" online for months, to finally saying “enough” and hitting record - this episode is my little story... part pep talk and part neuroscience-backed invitation to start scared and show up anyway.
We’ll explore:
- Why I started this podcast at 59 (with zero broadcasting background)
- The truth about procrastination, imposter syndrome, and perfectionism
- The science of fear, courage, and neuroplasticity
- Why podcasting felt more authentic than TikTok or curated social media posts
- How creative expression, vulnerability, and purpose have become pillars of my own healing journey
This isn’t your average podcast origin story - it’s a reminder that you don’t need to have it all figured out to begin.
