Learning as She Goes: How to Grow into a Confident Storyteller with Tricia Johnson

Tricia didn’t plan to lead social media—she just raised her hand. Now she’s making a huge impact! Her story proves that passion and heart can take you far, even when you’re figuring things out as you go. No formal training? No problem. Hear how Tricia self-taught her way to success—with lots of sticky notes. If you’ve ever felt unqualified, her journey will remind you that curiosity and commitment go a long way. From overwhelm to confidence, Tricia shares how trial and error, along with a few Canva hacks, changed everything. She’s honest about the struggles and the small wins that built her into the communicator she is today. You’ll love her real talk on feedback, slowing down, and why it’s OK not to have all the answers (yet). Tricia reminds us that giving ourselves grace is just as important as giving it to everyone else.
