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!

    151 | How to Stop Feeling Overwhelmed and Start Living a More Fulfilling Life by Changing One Phrase

    Are you constantly saying, “I'm so busy,” but still feel like you're not making progress on the things that matter most? In this episode of The Journey to Becoming, we're talking about the difference between being busy and living a FULL life. Because you can fill every hour of your calendar and still feel disconnected from God, your relationships, and the woman He's created you to be. Somewhere along the way, we've normalized being busy. We wear it like a badge of honor, use it as a reason to put our own growth on hold, and convince ourselves we'll have time for what matters when life finally slows down. But what if the goal isn't to do more? What if it's to become more intentional about what we're filling our lives with? Rooted in John 10:10 and Jesus' promise of abundant life, we're exploring how to stop living on autopilot and start making intentional choices about our time, priorities, and personal growth—even in seasons when life feels overwhelming. In this episode, we'll talk about: Busy vs. FULL: Why having a packed schedule doesn't necessarily mean you're living a purposeful or fulfilled life. Being intentional with your time: How to stop allowing every demand, distraction, and obligation to determine your priorities. Pursuing the abundant life Jesus offers: Why a full life isn't about having a perfect schedule, but about living rooted in Christ. Making room for what matters: How to prioritize your faith, relationships, wellness, and purpose without adding more pressure to your already full plate. Here's the question I want you to sit with: If your life is full, what is it full of? You don't need to wait for a new year, a quieter season, or an empty calendar to start becoming the woman God created you to be. You can start right where you are, with the time you have and one intentional decision. Because the goal isn't to fit more into your life. It's to cultivate a life that's FULL of what matters.

    150 | Feeling Behind? How Messy Action Helps You Rebuild Self-Trust and Move Forward

    Have you ever looked back on the year and found yourself focusing on everything you didn't do? The goals you didn't reach, the habits you didn't build, or the ways you feel like you should be further along by now? As we enter the final quarter of the year, it's easy to beat ourselves up, allow disappointment to turn into shame, and begin pulling away from the very people who could help us grow. But sis, what if instead of waiting until you have it all together, you started taking messy action? In this episode of The Journey to Becoming, we're talking about what it looks like to take imperfect action, rebuild trust with yourself, and walk in obedience to God, even when you don't feel ready or have everything figured out. You'll be encouraged to stop allowing perfectionism, fear, and disappointment to keep you stuck and to recognize why surrounding yourself with friends, coaches, mentors, and a community that speaks truth into your life is so important. Isolation doesn't move us forward; sometimes, we need others to remind us of who God says we are when we've forgotten it ourselves. Most importantly, we'll talk about taking messy action in your relationship with Jesus. He doesn't tell us to get perfect before we come to Him. In Matthew 11:28, Jesus invites the weary and burdened to come to Him and find rest. You don't have to get yourself together before you come to the feet of Jesus. Come as you are and let Him meet you there. In this episode, we'll explore: How taking small, imperfect steps helps rebuild self-trust. Why beating yourself up over what you haven't accomplished keeps you stuck. How isolation can hold you back from the encouragement and accountability you need. Why having friends, coaches, and mentors who speak truth into your life matters. What it looks like to take messy action in obedience to God without needing every detail figured out. How to stop waiting for a new year, a fresh start, or the perfect circumstances and take your next right step today. Sis, you are not behind. You are becoming. And you don't have to do it alone. Your challenge: What's one area of your life where you can take messy action in the next 24 hours? Don't overthink it. Take the next right step, invite someone you trust to walk alongside you, and bring it all to Jesus. Remember, you don't have to be perfect to begin. You just have to be willing to show up.

    149 | Overcoming Mom Rage as a Christian Mom: Breaking Shame & Choosing Change with Natalie Hixon

    Do you ever find yourself losing your temper with your kids, feeling overwhelmed by mom rage, and drowning in shame afterward? If you're a Christian mom who loves Jesus but struggles with anger, frustration, and the guilt that follows, this episode is for you. In this episode of The Journey to Becoming, I'm joined by Natalie Hixon, known as the Angry Mama Coach, who helps discouraged and burnt-out Christian moms overcome destructive anger so they can enjoy being a wife and mom again. Together, we're having an honest conversation about what it looks like to stop living in shame, take responsibility for our reactions, and embrace the powerful perspective shift: “I can change.” Natalie shares how learning to recognize her triggers, take ownership of her responses, and practice the simple but transformative habit of sitting and praying has changed her life—and how she's helping other moms experience that same transformation. Because being a woman of God doesn't mean you never struggle with anger. It means you can invite God into the struggle, take responsibility for your growth, and learn a new way forward. In this episode, we talk about: Overcoming mom rage and destructive anger as a Christian mom Breaking free from the shame cycle after losing your temper with your kids Taking responsibility for your reactions without getting stuck in condemnation How learning to sit and pray can transform the way you respond to your children Letting God meet you in the hard moments of motherhood Moving from discouraged and burnt-out to experiencing more peace, connection, and joy in your role as a wife and mom Mama, you are not stuck being the version of yourself you see in your hardest moments. You can grow. You can change. And you can learn to respond differently. This is your reminder that shame doesn't have to define your motherhood story. There is a way forward, and you don't have to figure it out alone.

    148 | How to Break Free From Anxiety & Childhood Trauma With Jesus with Julie Rebboah

    What if the anxiety, stress, or patterns you're struggling with today have deeper roots than you realize? In this episode of The Journey to Becoming, I’m joined by Julie Rebboah, MS — Christian Nervous System Coach, creator of Biblical Breathwork™, author of the upcoming book Lay Worry Down, and affectionately known as the “Peace Navigator.” Julie and I talk about anxiety, stress, childhood trauma, and what it looks like to get to the root of what we're carrying and move toward healing WITH Jesus.

There is a path toward greater peace, freedom, and restoration — and Jesus belongs at the center of it. 🎧 If you've ever wondered, “Why do I keep responding this way?” or “How do I get to the root of this?” — this conversation is for you.

    147 | Stop Walking on Eggshells: How to Have Honest Conversations in Marriage with Cara Nitz

    Have you ever needed to have a hard conversation with your husband but found yourself overthinking how to even bring it up? Maybe you’re afraid you’ll hurt his feelings, make him defensive, start an argument, or create tension in your marriage so instead, you stay quiet, hold it in, or try to handle it yourself. In this episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I’m talking with marriage and life coach Cara Nitz about the deeper roots of communication and what it looks like to have honest, healthy conversations in marriage. Cara shares her own marriage experience and the work she and her husband, Adam, have done together, offering practical insight for women who want to communicate more openly without falling into old patterns of people-pleasing, overfunctioning, avoiding conflict, or taking responsibility for someone else’s emotions. One of the biggest mindset shifts in our conversation is this: you are not responsible for another person’s feelings. That truth can be incredibly freeing when you’ve spent years managing other people’s emotions, walking on eggshells, or believing that keeping the peace means keeping your own thoughts and needs to yourself. And while we talk a lot about communication in marriage, these principles can transform the way you communicate in any relationship, with friends, family, coworkers, and the people you love most. In this episode, we talk about: How to start a difficult conversation with your husband • The connection between people-pleasing and communication • How overfunctioning can show up in relationships • Why you are not responsible for another person’s feelings • What healthy, honest communication can look like • What Cara has learned through her own marriage journey If you’ve ever thought, “I don't know how to say this without hurting his feelings,” this conversation is for you. You don’t have to choose between being honest and being loving. There is a healthier way to communicate and it starts by getting to the root of what’s happening within you.

    145 | Financial Freedom Without Fear: What the Bible Says About Money, Investing & Retirement with Emily Scott

    What if you could stop feeling afraid, overwhelmed, or confused about money—and start managing your finances with wisdom, confidence, and vision? In this episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, Joy sits down with Emily of Financially Unbroken for an empowering conversation about financial literacy, faith, money mindset, investing, budgeting, and retirement planning for women. Together, they unpack what the Bible actually says about money and why we don't have to approach our finances from a place of fear. 2 Timothy 1:7 reminds us that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind—and that applies to our finances too. Emily walks through the different stages of our financial journey, from budgeting and saving to investing and preparing for retirement, while challenging some of the messages society constantly sends us—like “girl math” and “treat yourself.” One of the biggest mindset shifts she shares is the difference between “earn” and “deserve.” What happens when we stop believing we deserve everything we want right now and instead learn to find fulfillment and reward in doing the work, building discipline, and earning what we're working toward? And when it comes to retirement, Emily asks a powerful question: “What am I retiring from—and what am I retiring to?” That question opens up a beautiful conversation about living with vision, purpose, and intention—not just during our working years, but in the years that come after. In this episode, you'll discover: What the Bible says about money and financial stewardship • How to manage your finances without fear • The financial stages of budgeting, saving, investing, and retirement • Why “girl math” and “treat yourself” can influence our spending habits • The mindset shift from “I deserve it” to “I earned it” • Why discipline and delayed gratification can actually create freedom • How women can begin building financial confidence and literacy • How to think differently about retirement and your future • The powerful question: “What am I retiring from—and what am I retiring to?” • How to create a financial future that aligns with your values, faith, and vision If you've ever felt intimidated by money, unsure where to start financially, or caught between wanting to enjoy your life today and wanting to prepare for tomorrow, this conversation is for you. Financial freedom isn't just about having more money. It's about having the wisdom, confidence, and vision to steward what God has entrusted to you—and build a future you're excited to live.   CONNECT WITH EMILY & HER RESOURCES HERE https://www.financiallyunbroken.com/ JOIN US FOR VIRTUAL OPEN HOUSE 🥳 BECOMING A WOMAN OF VALUE FREE 5 DAY CHALLENGE 💗   Connect with me here:  WEBSITE: https://www.thejoyfulfitlife.com/

    144 | Who Told You That? Uncovering the Lies About Your Identity & Replacing Them With God’s Truth with Lindsay Greear

    So often, we believe things about ourselves that we’ve carried for years — I’m not enough. I’m too much. I’m a failure. I’ll never change. I have to prove myself. And before we even realize it, those lies begin shaping the way we see ourselves, our relationships, our choices, and even our relationship with God. In this week’s episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I’m sitting down with Lindsay Greear, author of Who Told You That? — Uncovering the Lies That Shape You and the Truth That Sets You Free. This conversation was SO powerful because Lindsay shares not only the heart behind her book, but the personal journey that led her to write it. With a background in therapy, Lindsay takes a unique approach to helping women identify the lies they’ve believed about themselves. She addresses each lie from a therapeutic perspective and then brings it back to the truth of God’s Word, helping us understand what Scripture says about who we really are. Because here’s the thing: you can’t become who God created you to be while continuing to operate from a false identity. In this episode, we talk about: ✨ The lies women commonly believe about themselves and their identity ✨ How our beliefs shape the way we live and make decisions ✨ What God’s Word says about who we really are ✨ How replacing lies with truth can change the way we live I hope this conversation encourages you to slow down and ask yourself: “Who told me that?” Because some of the things you’ve believed about yourself may not be the truth at all. And when you uncover the lie, you can finally begin to walk in the freedom that comes from knowing who God says you are. 🎧 Listen now and be encouraged to uncover the lies, embrace God’s truth, and continue becoming the woman He created you to be.
