The Fulcrum Mindset Podcast

Dr. Alice Ward-Johnson

Hi, Welcome to the Fulcrum Mindset Podcast. I’m Dr. Alice Ward-Johnson. Here, faith meets strategy, and real transformation happens. If you’re at a turning point, feeling the weight of your past and the pull toward your future, you’re in the right place. I don’t just talk about change. I’ve lived it. I’ve been through grief, failed marriages, single motherhood, professional challenges, navigating college, and mistakes made from inexperience. I’ve learned from every experience and turned those tough times into beautiful days. Now, I’m here to support you as you move from where you are to where you want to be. In each episode, you’ll see the Fulcrum Framework in action: mindset changes, strategic moves, and faith-based wisdom to help you make real changes in your life. This isn’t about working harder or chasing six-figure promises. It’s about helping you become unstoppable in whatever goals you pursue. If you feel stuck and need a way forward, or you’re ready for change but not sure what to do next, I’m here to offer clarity, strategy, and encouragement to help you keep moving. Think of this as your third space: a virtual friend in your pocket and a reminder that you already have what you need to thrive! Let’s think through this together.
