#85 Overcoming Paralysis, Building Resilience: The Mindset Shifts That Change Everything

In this transformative episode of Mindset Mastery Moments, Dr. Alisa sits down with The People Expert, Shannon Clark Johnston, to explore how a life-altering diagnosis of transverse myelitis—leaving her paralyzed at age 30—became the catalyst for profound mindset and lifestyle transformation.

Together, they dive into the powerful connection between mind and body, discussing how unaddressed stress and misaligned living can impact our physical health. Both Dr. Alisa and Shannon share personal experiences with autoimmune conditions, shedding light on the emotional and physiological toll of suppressing one’s truth.

This episode goes deep into what it really means to be resilient. Shannon unpacks why resilience isn’t about “bouncing back” but about building forward momentum—through small, intentional actions that compound over time. From daily reset rituals and redefining confidence, to overcoming limiting beliefs around fitness, Shannon reveals how success is cultivated through mindset shifts and consistency—not perfection.

You’ll also hear an honest reflection on life transitions, motherhood, and letting go of the need to have it all figured out before taking action. Shannon offers a practical and powerful mindset takeaway on silencing the inner critic—by naming it.
