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!

In this episode we are continuing the conversation about Mental Health with Therapist, Jen Alley. Now that we have laid a foundation, we get to explore the purpose of slowing down in the extremely hurried world that we live in.
One of my favorite things she shared in our time together is “neurons that fire together, wire together” speaking to the power that takes place in our brains when an experience is repeated over and over again. Jen also shares with us WHY healthy habits that contribute to our Mental Wellness are so important and necessary to maintaining our mental health.
Staying committed to your healing is a life-long journey, it won’t be easy, it will be painful, there will be tears shed AND it will be worth it because just like God says in His word, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came so that they would have life, and have it abundantly.”

John 10:10

We sit down with Jen Alley who has 15 years of experience in the mental health field as a therapist and the clarity she brings to this is so refreshing to this highly stigmatized topic.

There are many resources shared and provided and I know that you will be left with a better understanding of how to take responsibility for your own mental health in an empowering way!

In this episode here from a beautiful mother/daughter duo that speaks from a place of healing that only Jesus can bring. Cindy and Laila are open, honest and transparent about Laila’s 3 year journey in working through her anxiety, self harm and suicidal thoughts that began for her in junior high.
The freedom that they can both speak from is a testament to their unwavering trust in God and also reminds us that yes, we serve a God of miracles AND there is a process to the healing journey that is all in God’s perfect timing.
Whether you can relate or not to this beautiful testimony, all of us can be encouraged and reminded that with God all things are possible and He will always turn it around for our good and His glory! I am confident that you will find hope in this episode to keep going!

In honor of May being Mental Health Awareness month we are taking a look at different areas that mental health shows up in. Within the Journey to Becoming Roadmap which is the framework taught inside the Joyful Fit Life Community, we focus on 4 areas of life, Faith, Relationships, Wellness & Contribution. Today we are discussing how to use our Faith to combat the lies, generational strongholds and half truths we all struggle with.
My spiritual mother, Pastor Marie Silva is joining us to share from her recent book “Immersed” and how we must invite Jesus to immerse our minds. As women inside and outside of the church this is something that we all deal with probably more than we would like to admit. Pastor Marie shares practical ways to “exchange the conversation” that will lead to life change. The choice is up to us!
I am confident that after listening to this episode that is full of encouragement, biblical truth and beautiful imagery- you will have a few more “tools in your arsenal” to experience new levels of freedom and healing.

Continuing from Part 1 of my testimony, today I am sharing about the loss of another family member to suicide, my brother. As if losing your mom wasn’t hard enough, 20 years later I relived my worst nightmare. It was three days before my wedding day when I received a call from my Dad telling me to come home. To my dismay learning that my brother took his life caused so much pain again, and this time even more vivid as I was now an adult.
Navigating loss around yet another huge moment in your life is something that I would never wish on anyone. But, God. I was shown time and time again that God is truly in all of the details of our lives, no matter how small. The lessons that God has taught me since the passing of my brother have brought so many layers of healing and restoration, I am confident that they will bring hope to any situation you may be currently facing.
I share this part of my story to inspire you to cling to Jesus through the highest of highs and lowest of lows, He is truly our strength through it all! Thank you for listening and I believe that we are now closer after these past two episodes!

Joel 2:25

In this episode I am sharing with you about my personal testimony and what God has done in my life. I lost my mom when I was 6 years old, she had succumbed to a deep depression and took her own life. Growing up without a mom I had to navigate feeling “less than” which contributed to a heavy lack/poverty mentality. I share some defining moments growing up as I began to share about the loss and realized that there was healing in speaking about the pain. My empathy grew for others so deeply that I began to keep a journal to remind me to check in on my friends and to be there for them in any way that I could.
The healing & restoration that has taken place in my life is something that can only be done through God. I have realized that the isolation that my mom dealt with is so common for us women. The enemy wants to isolate us all thinking that no one cares or knows what we are going through and that is the furthest thing from the truth. There is nothing that we can do to separate us from the love of God and I pray that through listening you are encouraged and reminded that however “stuck” you may be feeling in life, your life is worth living and showing up for.
It is through my painful past of deep loss that has birthed my passion for helping women live out their full potential. Remember to always be kind, you may never know what someone is going through.

08 | Emotional Health- What is it and how it could be the missing piece to your transformation as a Christian Woman
In this episode we explore what Emotional Health is for those that may not fully understand what it actually is and how to grow in this area. Emotional Health has played a huge role in my transformation into all I am becoming as a wife, mom, daughter, mentor, coach etc , but first I had to quit. QUIT?! You may be thinking, “isn’t quitting bad?!” Well, not in this case, it has been the HEALTHIEST thing I have done.
Exploring the layers of Emotional Health from a Biblical perspective has brought what used to be past pain into new levels of freedom. This has been a foundational part of healing for the Joyful Fit Life Community as well- and will continue to be; so we can all step into who we are becoming. One of the ways that Emotional Health was introduced to me was through the book “ The Emotionally Healthy Woman”- a definite must read, and read again, highlight, take notes- all of the things!
I will share the Top 3 Principles that stood out to me of the 8 that are covered in this book in hopes that you not only can relate, but realize that you are not ALONE! We are in this together Woman of God, let’s continue to heal and change the trajectory of our lives and the lives of those we impact!

Hey friend! Have you ever had one of those days where you were like ummm God where are you, I need you! I need a word, I need encouragement over my life. You are secretly longing for someone to text you or ask how you are doing?! I cannot be the only one…Well, my friend, this may just be the encouragement that you needed today!
I felt this in my spirit and wanted to be obedient so I am sharing one of my favorite verses with you and declaring a prayer over your life today as well. Sometimes as believers we can quickly fall into the limiting belief that we are all alone and that is the absolute furthest thing from the truth!
In the midst of the mundane in our day to day and humanity, God’s love, joy & peace will never run out or fail us!

We all know that “nothing changes if nothing changes”, but what does that mean for you as a woman of God who is on her journey to becoming all that God created you to be?! We are talking all about that in today’s episode.
Why is it so hard to release the old patterns?! They are what has shaped so much of our lives and can very often be all that we know and so comfortable. I know that what God wants to do within your life will absolutely be worth the WORK that it will take to become all that He has already placed inside of you.
What will you have to leave behind? What old patterns? What old mindsets? Maybe for you, it’s relationships, because we cannot take everyone with us on this journey either. I am confident that after listening to this episode you will have a better idea of what you need to leave and all of what God has waiting for you to step into!

This episode is super special because I get to share a recent win that my husband and I trained for over the past 6 months. We completed the LA Marathon on March 17, 2024 and learned so much throughout the process that I know can be applied to many different areas of life.
Rather than give you tips for how to remain dedicated or consistent, I am sharing with you 4 “When you Embrace…” statements learned through the past 6 months that carried us through the training and helped us stay focused on our why.
Don’t get me wrong, dedication, consistency & accountability are all important and necessary AND I believe after this episode you will be able to take a deep breath and have a fresh & peaceful perspective on how you can continue to live with vision and reach your goals in life!
