On this transformative episode of The Heart Helper Podcast, we sit down with Ayana Johnson—a Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, four-time published author, and clinical mental health therapist whose work empowers others to prioritize their mental well-being while deepening their relationship with God.
Ayana opens up about the life-altering moment of losing her job and how she chose obedience over fear. In that sacred pause, she heard God clearly—and with boldness, she stepped into full-time entrepreneurship, founding a business rooted in purpose, healing, and spiritual growth.
This episode is truly free therapy as Ayana shares practical tips and faith-driven insights on how to protect your peace, maintain your mental health, and confidently walk in your calling. She also discusses her global impact through ResemblingRUTH, and how her faith, resilience, and authenticity continue to create safe spaces for healing around the world.
If you're in a season of transition, wrestling with self-doubt, or simply seeking encouragement—this conversation will remind you that God’s plan is greater than your fear.
