Are you sick and tired of feeling stuck in life? Do you constantly feel like you are trying to manage your responsibilities all at once as a mom, or wife only to be left completely exhausted by the end of each day? Do you deal with crippling fear & doubt that can invade your mind at any given moment and weighs you down mentally? Do you find yourself struggling with your self-worth and confidence when it comes to putting yourself first? Have you wrestled with the desire to grow deeper in relationship with God and see His plan for your life come to fruition, but you are still a little scared? There is a way to step out of the constant self-sabotage, gain control of your life and give yourself permission to live out the vision that God has for you! Hey, I’m Joy Johnson. Your new bestie, coach, mentor and sister in Christ that cannot wait to speak life into you and activate you to take action in the life that you have been so blessed with. I remember the days where I was hiding behind the very things that were robbing me of all of my time and energy. I was crippled by fear of failure, the opinions of others and lacked major boundaries. I was operating in a lack mentality in my motherhood, overcommitted to things that weren’t fully serving me and not letting my husband in on my mind battles. Not to mention allowing my relationship with God to be on the back burner because hello- there was no time for that. That was a recipe for disaster that quickly led to burn out and frustration. It wasn’t until I realized that I was absolutely not alone, and so many other women were struggling with the same things that I began to be honest with myself. I have since been able to apply a framework in structuring my life that has changed everything for the better. Through this podcast I will share with you HOW to: • Discover, design & develop a vision the vision God has for you • Simplify your daily systems to bring transformation in your mental, emotional & physical health • Embrace the power of consistency and release the perfectionistic mindset once and for all • Heal from your past and not let it hinder your future • Find joy in your Journey to Becoming all that God has created you to be I am honored to be on this journey alongside you, grab your amazingly oversized water bottle & let’s live out our God dreams, together!

In this powerful episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I sit down with fashion content creator Vanessa Moynihan, who shares her incredible testimony of coming to faith after growing up in a home where God was never discussed.
Vanessa skyrocketed to success as a fashion influencer, going viral and amassing a huge following on social media. Yet, despite the fame and opportunities, she felt an emptiness she couldn’t ignore. It wasn’t until she hired someone to help with her social media – who happened to be a strong believer – that she was introduced to Jesus in a life-changing way. In our conversation, Vanessa opens up about:
✨ How she navigated the tension between social media success and her newfound faith✨ The moment she realized that no amount of influence could fill the void only God could✨ Why being rooted in authentic community has been essential to her spiritual growth✨ Practical tips on how to start—even when you feel like a failure or fear failing✨ What it truly means to live for the audience of One rather than the approval of the world
If you’ve ever struggled with fear of failure, seeking validation from others, or feeling like you don’t know where to start in your faith journey, this episode is for you. Vanessa’s story is a beautiful reminder that no matter where you come from, God’s love can meet you exactly where you are.

Many women struggle with staying consistent, battling distractions, and feeling stuck in cycles of guilt when their efforts to grow fall short. But what if discipline isn’t about restriction, but about gaining the freedom to become the woman God created you to be?

If you’ve been struggling with juggling responsibilities, feeling scattered, or doubting your ability to stay on track, this episode is for you. It’s time to embrace discipline not as a burden, but as a key to living a life of joy, purpose, and alignment with God’s plan.
