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!

🌸 Fruitful Girl Summer! 🍓
Welcome to Week 3 of Fruitful Girl Summer —our 9-week journey walking through the fruit of the Spirit as found in Galatians 5:22–23. This week, we’re leaning into the gift and fruit of PEACE 🕊️—a peace that doesn’t come from your circumstances, but from the presence of God Himself.
In this episode, we’re looking at:
🌊 How God promises peace that flows like a river (Isaiah 66:12) 💪 What it means for peace to surpass all understanding (Philippians 4:6–7) 🤝 Why Jesus calls us blessed when we choose to be peacemakers (Matthew 5:9) 🌾 How discipline and repentance lead to a peaceful harvest in our lives (Hebrews 12:11)
Peace isn’t passive—it’s powerful. 🙏 In order to truly receive the peace God has for us, we must also be willing to let go of what’s stealing it. That might mean repenting, releasing control, or saying no to distractions that keep you from abiding in Christ.
✨ Don’t forget: at the end of this episode, you’ll find your Peace Challenge of the Week to help you practice walking in the fruit of peace in a tangible way. Be sure to screenshot it, share it, and tag me so I can cheer you on! 🎉
👯♀️ Invite a friend to join you in the challenge—because growing fruitfully is even better in community.
Let’s keep becoming the women God created us to be—full of peace and anchored in His presence. 💖

Have you ever had a moment where God showed up in the most unexpected, tiny detail—and it changed everything? In this heartfelt episode of The Journey to Becoming, I’m sharing a very personal story of how God met me during a week of emotional highs and lows. It all started with another podcast about the power of having a designated prayer space, and what happened next reminded me just how intimately God sees and cares for every part of our lives.
Through a simple gift—a chair—I felt a divine invitation to deepen my time with the Lord and create space for breakthrough prayer. This episode is about so much more than furniture; it’s about recognizing the voice of God in the small things, growing in intimacy with Him, and learning to keep our eyes open for His presence in every corner of our lives.
If you’ve ever wondered whether God is really paying attention to the little things, this episode is for you. Let it encourage you to believe again that nothing goes unnoticed by our loving Father.
👉 Press play to be reminded that He sees you, He speaks, and He still provides—often in the most unexpected ways.

In this powerful and deeply honest episode, I’m joined by Callie Gualy—faith-filled Pilates instructor and founder of Sunshine Pilates. We dive into a much-needed conversation about body image, mindset, and what true freedom in Christ looks like when we renounce the things that aren’t from God.
Callie shares her personal journey of walking away from new age influences, finding her rhythm in motherhood, and learning to honor the body God gave her—not just for how it looks, but for how strong it is. Together, we talk about the often unspoken pressure on women to stay small, quiet, or ashamed—when God has actually called us to live boldly and walk in truth.
This episode is an invitation to silence fear, doubt, and failure—and to start walking in the confidence and freedom that only Jesus gives. Whether you’re struggling with body shame, feeling stuck spiritually, or needing a reminder that obedience opens doors, this conversation will meet you right where you are.
👉 Listen now and be encouraged to step into the strength, peace, and purpose God has for you.
