Stand Tall & Own It
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 you realized you couldn't tell what was actually yours from what you'd just learned to navigate well.
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.

Each year, as a way to create a point on the horizon, give me a theme within which to think, dream and grow, I pick a word. Sometimes it’s one that encourages me to be bigger; sometimes, it’s a word of comfort ; many times, it’s a word of challenge. Each year, it is a challenge to myself to become more… more clear, more authentic, more true and honest… more ME. Today I’ll tell you how to pick a Word of the Year with purpose and intention.
