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.)

Transformative Journeys - to Growth and Resilience
The Problem with Resolutions - and the Power of Realistic Goals
Are you tired of making New Year’s resolutions… only to abandon them by mid-January (or earlier)? You’re not alone.
In this episode of Transformative Journeys, I break down the real reasons resolutions tend to fail - and spoiler alert: it’s not because you lack willpower or motivation.
We explore:
✨ The neuroscience behind why your brain resists sudden change
🧠 Why willpower is a limited, unsustainable resource
🧩 How identity-based goals work better than deprivation-based resolutions
🧘♀️ How reflection, structure, and small, meaningful shifts can rewire your habits
🛠 Plus: My personal process for setting goals that stick - and why I haven’t made a resolution in years
You’ll also get two sets of journaling prompts to help you reflect on the past year and move into the new one with intention and clarity.
This isn’t a “New Year, New You” conversation.
This is about working with your brain, not against it - and creating a version of growth that actually fits your life.
