Finding Yourself Again: From Survival Mode to Intentional Living

Have you spent so much time being everything for everyone else that you’ve lost connection with yourself? In this episode of The Cozy Place, I sit down with author, entrepreneur, wife, mother of five, and proud Gigi LaKisha “Kisha” Johns for an honest conversation about finding yourself again, moving beyond survival mode, emotional healing, faith, motherhood, intentional living, and creating a meaningful legacy. Kisha knows what it means to carry many roles. From growing up as a pastor’s kid and serving in the military to motherhood, entrepreneurship, and eventually re-entering the workforce after nearly a decade at home, her journey has taught her what can happen when we become so focused on fulfilling our responsibilities that we quietly lose connection with ourselves. In this conversation, we explore what it looks like to: • Rediscover your identity beyond the roles you carry • Move from survival mode into intentional living • Release the pressure to perform and embrace emotional honesty • Allow faith to guide your healing and personal growth • Create healthy habits that impact future generations • Understand the connection between personal wholeness and legacy At the heart of Kisha’s work is a powerful belief: “Wholeness in you becomes freedom for them.” If you’ve been navigating identity, motherhood, emotional healing, personal growth, faith, burnout, survival mode, or simply trying to find yourself again, this conversation is for you. 🤎 Welcome to The Cozy Place—a space for honest conversations about healing, growth, faith, and healthy relationships.
