In this deeply moving episode of the "Just Being Intentional Podcast," host Thomas Harris welcomes Amy Johnson, a mother of six boys, an attorney, and a survivor of domestic abuse.

This episode is a must for anyone who has faced or is currently facing domestic abuse, or for those who need a reminder that with support and determination, it’s possible to overcome even the darkest of times. Amy Johnson's story is one of hope, courage, and the unbreakable spirit of a survivor.

Amy's story is one of incredible resilience, courage, and transformation—a journey that will leave you inspired and hopeful.Amy begins by sharing her roots, growing up on a farm in Manitoba, and how her life took an unexpected turn when she faced the collapse of her marriage. Raising six boys was challenging enough, but the real battle began when domestic abuse entered her life, impacting both her and her children in profound ways.Through raw and honest dialogue,

Amy opens up about the complexities of enduring abuse—explaining the emotional and psychological toll it takes, especially when trying to convey the experience to those who haven't lived it. Her breaking point came when she realized that staying in her marriage was no longer an option if she wanted to protect herself and her children. This decision led to an incredibly difficult period of homelessness, where the support of her church community became a lifeline.Despite these immense challenges, Amy's story doesn't end in despair. Out of necessity, she embarked on a new path, attending law school and eventually becoming an attorney.

Her journey from homelessness to becoming an NFL mom, as her son Theo made it to the NFL, is a testament to her strength and perseverance.Throughout the episode, Amy reflects on the importance of community, the power of self-care, and the role her children have played in inspiring her to find her purpose. She leaves viewers with a powerful message: “When you’re ready, you can do anything.”
