Welcome, beautiful souls! In this inspiring and soul-stirring episode of Life of Love, Julie Hilsen sits down with transformational coach and podcaster Andrea Johnson to explore what it really means to deconstruct old beliefs, reclaim your voice, and stand tall and own it. 💖
Andrea shares her deeply personal journey growing up as a missionary kid in Korea, navigating Southern Baptist traditions, and eventually stepping into a bold and empowered version of herself after the loss of her mother—who gave her the blessing to "fly, be free." 🕊️
We talk resilience (and how it’s earned), leadership rooted in values, sacred feminine awakening, body healing, and the unspoken strength it takes to leave behind the boxes others put us in. If you’ve ever felt like you had to shrink to fit into someone else’s version of you… this episode is for you.
✨ Topics We Cover:
- Growing up immersed in international culture and faith traditions 🌏
- Deconstructing religious norms and finding spiritual authenticity 💫
- How motherhood and grief can awaken your soul's purpose 💔➡️❤️
- The power of values-based leadership for women entrepreneurs 👑
- What it means to embody your core truth with clarity and compassion 🌟
This conversation is warm, reflective, and filled with loving reminders that your story matters, your voice is valid, and your presence is a gift to this world. 💗
