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!

Transcribe →109 | Healing Your Money Story: How Your Nervous System Shapes Your Relationship With Finances with Brigid Tebaldi
Jan 2600:43:39Tap to summarizeWhy does money bring up so much fear, stress, or overwhelm, even when we’re doing “all the right things”? In this powerful and eye-opening episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I’m joined by Brigid Tebaldi, a Nervous System + Identity Coach, to explore the deeper connection between your nervous system and your money story. So often, budgeting, saving, or managing finances triggers anxiety, fear, shame, or avoidance. Instead of just addressing the behavior and trying to force better habits, Brigid invites us to slow down and get curious about what’s happening beneath the surface. We talk about how your relationship with money may be rooted in early childhood experiences, learned patterns, and moments where your body learned whether money felt safe or threatening. When we begin to understand these connections, true healing and real financial freedom becomes possible. 💡 In this episode, you’ll learn: Why money stress is often a nervous system response How childhood experiences shape your financial habits today Why behavior modification alone doesn’t lead to lasting change How curiosity, compassion, and regulation can bring freedom around finances If budgeting makes you feel tense, finances trigger fear, or money conversations feel overwhelming, this episode will help you see your story through a new lens, one rooted in healing, awareness, and freedom rather than shame. ✨ This conversation is an invitation to stop fighting yourself and start understanding yourself so you can experience peace, safety, and confidence in this area of your life.

In this honest and practical episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I’m joined by Nellie Harden, wife, mom of four daughters (ages 16–20), author, and speaker in family life and leadership, to talk all about what she calls “the great transition” — parenting in the middle years. We dive into the real-life challenges and opportunities that come with raising teens and young adults, from setting healthy phone boundaries to understanding different learning styles, meeting your children where they are, and creating meaningful one-on-one time with each child. Nellie also shares powerful tools for staying calm when you’re overstimulated, emotionally taxed, or tempted to react instead of respond. This conversation is a much-needed reminder that leadership in the home matters — especially in seasons of discipline, tension, and growth. Nellie encourages moms to lead by example, model emotional regulation, and create an environment where connection and character development can flourish. If you’re a mom navigating the in-between — no longer in the little years, but not quite on the other side — this episode will leave you feeling encouraged, equipped, and reminded that you’re not alone in this season. ✨ In this episode, we talk about: Parenting teens and young adults with wisdom and confidence Setting boundaries with phones and technology Understanding learning styles and meeting your kids where they are Creating intentional one-on-one time Staying calm when you feel overstimulated Leading by example in discipline and character 🎧 Tune in for encouragement, practical parenting wisdom, and a fresh perspective on raising the next generation well — even in the middle.
