** TOP 1.5% Global Podcast ** Online Community for Christian Women Discipleship Community, Accountability, Life Coaching for Women of Faith, Vision Building & Planning Joy Johnson- Community Builder, Life Coach, CEO The podcast you need in your life as a Christian woman who is ready to step in to all that God created them to be. 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!

Have you ever felt too ashamed to bring certain parts of your life to God—the hidden, messy, or broken areas you’d rather ignore? In this heartfelt episode, I share a personal story about cleaning my cluttered laundry room (please tell me I’m not alone in leaving it untouched for long periods of time) and how God used that moment to show me His desire to clean the messy, unseen parts of our lives.
Using various scriptures as guides, we’ll explore how inviting God into your hidden struggles brings healing, freedom, and transformation. You’ll learn how shame can keep us stuck, but God’s grace is greater than any mess we hide.
If you’re ready to stop carrying the weight of your hidden struggles and let God work His redemptive power in your life, this episode is for you. Join me on your journey to becoming the woman God created you to be!
Tune in for biblical encouragement, practical steps, and a powerful reminder of God’s unconditional love.

We are talking about all things friendship today on this episode with my friend Michelle Castro. Friendships are a gift from God and as believers we are called to sharpen each other as scripture reminds us…but what does that even mean? How do you begin to form Godly friendships?
For the woman who is on her journey to becoming all that God has created her to be, we must also value the gift of honesty; whether that’s being honest in what you are going through or even how to honestly share your feelings with a trusted friend. We also need to remember that there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother, Jesus. He wants to be in relationship with YOU!

Proverbs 27:17
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Numbers 12:7

Living a thankful and grateful life is not something that only takes place during Thanksgiving…it is how we are called to live as followers of Christ. This week we are looking at simple and practical ways to live our life generously and thanking God for all He has given us and provided for us. In the midst of the hustle and bustle of the holiday season that is quickly upon us we want to skip over being thankful and run into the busyness and the doing, doing, doing.
Taking the time to slow down and focus on what truly matters changes the atmosphere of our mind and our hearts. I know you have so many things pulling you in different directions and I am confident that after this episode you will have great reminders, tools and resources to live a thankful life.

April Lockhart is our guest today and we are talking about all things purpose! Isn’t it so funny how sometimes we look at the very thing that sets us apart as something that God cannot use? As we dive into April’s story you will quickly learn that the way God is using her and her platform is how He wants to use all of us…just as we are. April was born without a fully formed left hand and has coined the term “disabled fashion girlie”
Although she would pray for God to heal her as a little girl, she has grown to fully embrace how she has been created, not just for her, but for those around her as well. Just like the rest of us, April is on her journey to becoming and I know you will be encouraged and touched by her story and the amazing doors that are opening for her.
Scriptures Referenced: Ephesians 5:2
I pray this blesses you,

Today we get to hear from Dr. Jeff Barke who is known on social media for his quick “morning message” that informs you of the truth you need to know when it comes to your health.

I am confident that after listening to this episode you will be equipped and have at least one thing that you know you can begin to implement today in becoming that better, healthier version of you!

I dare you to listen to this episode and answer the questions that we are going to talk about. These questions were part of an exercise I did a couple years ago and now looking back, I realized that my honest answers in that moment has brought so much necessary and healthy change in my life that I am forever grateful for.
This is not another reflection exercise to gloss over… I truly believe that this could be the beginning of everything changing in your life for the better. I want to invite you to spend 15 minutes with these questions, pray over them and take action on what you wrote down. ”But, what if I am scared to do that?!” girl, I promise you, that you are not alone! You can do it scared, let’s do this!
Scriptures Referenced: John 10:10
