Stand Tall & Own It - Irreversible Recognition
Something shifted. You can feel it. You just can't name it yet.
Stand Tall & Own It is for women in the second half of life who are high-functioning on the outside and quietly disoriented on the inside. You built your life inside systems you trusted completely — until something revealed those systems weren't what you thought.
Host Andrea Johnson doesn't offer formulas. She offers honest thinking, sharp observation, and the kind of conversation that makes you pull over and sit in your driveway.
This is where the real work starts.

Merit’s Leadership Principle:
Open minds close deals. Be open. It makes all the difference.
Habits or “Repeaters” to help with productivity
- First thing in the morning, spend 15 minutes writing each day - get everything out of your brain.
- Highlight 3 things you accomplished at the end of each day and 3 you intend for the next day.
- Keep track of things that happen - this is fuel for the comedy.
Interested in developing your own comedy, or just not take yourself so seriously?
- Be prepared. You need to look at life through a whole new lens.
- Be observant. What upsets you? That’s usually where the funny stuff is.
- Ask questions. Dig down to what’s at the heart of your own issues.
- Go experience comedy in person - it’s one of the best ways to learn how to laugh at yourself.
