Stand Tall & Own It - Irreversible Recognition
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 something revealed those systems weren't what you thought.
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.

Two and a half years after my very first post on “Being Present,” I’ve learned a few things. Practicing Presence is not yet something I’ve mastered, and based on what I see out there, we all need a refresher. So here are my takeaways.
Three Insights on “Being Present”:
- Everyone’s Present is unique.
- Without curiosity, you’ll never get “there.”
- If being “present” doesn’t produce kindness in you, then you’re doing it wrong.
So what should we do?
- Unique: One size doesn’t fit all. Do your own work.
- Curiosity: Get curious about you. When you don’t like something, ask “why?” and wait…
- Kindness: It’s the byproduct of presence.
