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 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.
