EP 183 - Andrea Johnson - Intentional Optimism: Andrea’s Journey to Health, Motherhood, and Empowerment

This week’s Guest Andrea was raised on the mission field of Seoul, South Korea, and as a Third Culture Kid, she’s familiar with navigating cultural diversity to find her own place of belonging. A family history of obesity showed up early, along with bulimia and depression. Her determination to become healthy, however, led to gastric bypass surgery and is a testament to her persevering spirit. She experienced early menopause (at 39), and became an adoptive mother through private adoption, at 42. Her personal journey of deconstructing her own assumptions, beliefs and conditioning produced her signature tool, Intentional Optimism. It provides the framework for how we do what we do. It’s the attitudes and mindsets we employ and embody to live out our own values, goals and dreams with excellence.   Find her here: https://www.theintentionaloptimist.com/ https://www.facebook.com/andrea.m.johnson.180 https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrea-johnson-the-intentional-optimist/ https://www.instagram.com/theintentionaloptimist/ https://www.tiktok.com/@intentionaloptimist?lang=en https://www.youtube.com/@intentionaloptimist
