Lessons in Self-Doubt: Proving Myself Wrong

Send us a text

This weekend, self-doubt tried to take the wheel. While creating all the preorder goodies for The Ordinary Bruja, I caught myself thinking, “My creativity only goes as far as writing.”

My husband’s quick, “No, it doesn’t,” stopped me. He was right. I’ve taught myself Canva, Photoshop, Affinity Publisher, podcast editing, marketing copy—so much more than I gave myself credit for.

In this episode of Have a Cup of Johanny, I share how focusing on what I lacked gave self-doubt power and how shifting to what I’ve already done helped me reclaim it. From DIY book design to learning when to ask for help, this is a love letter to every creative who’s ever second-guessed themselves.

It’s about a Dominican-American bruja who’s been running from herself her whole life until ancestral magic, generational wounds, and a haunted-ass hill force her to face the truth.

If you’ve ever felt “too much,” “not enough,” or like you don’t fit anywhere, you’re exactly who this story was written for.
