5 Powerful Takeaways from My Conversation with Stephana Johnson

Recently, I had the privilege of sitting down with transformational coach Stephana Johnson, and wow, my mind was blown by her energy and the way she was able to help me shift mine. From changing the way we speak to ourselves to understanding how thoughts and emotions influence our manifestations, Stephana dropped some serious gold nuggets and energetically slapped me to wake up and see how I was sabotaging myself. Below are my top takeaways from the episode that might inspire you to rethink how you’re approaching your goals, mindset, and personal growth.

1. Words Hold Energy: Choose Wisely

One of the most powerful things Stephana touched on was the energy behind the words we use about ourselves. We often speak to ourselves in ways we would never speak to others—criticizing, doubting, and diminishing. But these words carry energy, and that energy shapes how we move through the world.

Takeaway: Start noticing the language you use when talking to yourself. Words like "I can’t," "I’m not good enough," or "I always fail" create a limiting energy. Flip those statements to be more empowering, like "I’m learning," or "I’m growing every day."

2. Aligned Action for Your Highest Good

Stephana emphasized the importance of taking aligned action that serves your highest and best good. It’s not just about doing more but making sure that what you’re doing aligns with who you truly are and what’s in your best interest.

Takeaway: Before taking action, pause and ask yourself: Is this serving my highest good? If not, it might be time to realign and make different choices that better support your journey.

3. Permission to Be Imperfect

One of the most freeing parts of our conversation was giving ourselves permission to be imperfect. So many of us strive for perfection, but Stephana reminded us that growth happens in the messiness. When you allow yourself to be imperfect, you open yourself up to learning, curiosity, and unexpected opportunities.

Takeaway: Let go of perfectionism. Embrace the process, the mistakes, and the lessons they bring. Perfection isn’t the goal—progress is.

4. Stay in Curiosity

Another nugget of wisdom was the idea of staying in curiosity, not judgment. When we judge ourselves or situations, we limit our ability to see the possibilities. Curiosity allows for exploration, understanding, and growth.

Takeaway: When you find yourself judging a situation, shift into curiosity. Ask, What can I learn from this? How can this help me grow? You’ll be surprised at the answers that come through when you approach life with curiosity rather than judgment.

5. Thoughts + Emotions = Amplified Manifestation

Stephana highlighted how our thoughts, when combined with emotion, can amplify the manifestations we attract into our lives. It’s not just about thinking positively but feeling it in your body and emotions as well. That emotional charge is what accelerates the manifestation process.

Takeaway: Practice connecting your thoughts with positive emotions. When you visualize a goal, feel the joy, excitement, or gratitude as if it’s already happening. That emotional energy will work with your thoughts to amplify your manifestations.

Final Thoughts

My conversation with Stephana Johnson was really eye opening for me. Her insights into how we can shift our language, mindset, and energy left me inspired to make small but impactful changes in my own life. Whether you’re on a personal development journey or just looking for new ways to manifest your goals, I hope these takeaways resonate with you as much as they did with me.
