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.

Resilience can be applied to any area of your life. Weight loss and the struggle that it is has been a hot topic lately, so I’m sharing a bit of my story, and how resilience plays a role in how I have lost, and manage my weight - and you can too.
Intentional Optimism - Your Vehicle for Personal Growth:
- Optimistic = The hull, the vehicle that gets you from island A to island B.
- Present = The centerboard - keeps you upright, focused, centered.
- Energetic = The sail - captures & harnesses the wind, propelling you forward.
- Courageous = The rigging - holds everything together in proper tension, resilience.
- Wise = The rudder - keeps you on track, heading in the right direction.
- Intentional = Setting everything up to properly capture the wind.
Topics discussed in this episode:
RESILIENCE:
- CHARACTER: I choose to do what I say I will do, even when it's hard, because the more I practice, the more solid my character becomes.
- CONSISTENCY: I do the small things, daily, that make big things possible. My processes and methods are aligned with my "why."
- FOCUS: I keep my eye on the prize. Knowing where I'm going prevents getting distracted by challenges.
Ready to make changes in your weight loss journey?
- There’s NO quick fix - you have to be willing to work for it.
- There IS an answer - it’s unique and individual to you.
- You CAN be resilient! If you are successful in other areas, you can be successful here.
