So much of what we fear isn’t real — it’s imagined. Our minds spin stories about the future, and we react to those stories as if they’re true. That’s why anxiety and old habits can feel so inescapable. In this free live webinar, psychologist and author Dr. Amy Johnson will explore the difference between imagination and reality, why our minds do what they do, and how freedom becomes possible when we see through the mind’s stories.

We live in a culture obsessed with fast—quick fixes, instant results, and overnight transformations. But real, sustainable change rarely comes from “fast.” In this post, I share my own body journey—how chasing speed left me wrecked inside, and how choosing the slower path of healing and nourishment is bringing results that actually last. I also introduce Holly Perkins, a women’s strength expert whose free 3-day workshop, Midlife Muscle Mastery, offers powerful tools to help women build strength, balance hormones, and transform their health in a sustainable way.

So much of our inner suffering stems from the belief that “there” is better than here.
