Your thoughts have power, and they’re shaping your emotional health, business success, and quality of life.

Dr. Phildra Swagger sits down with Dr. Lawanda Ford Johnson, a licensed clinical psychologist and founder of the Mental Fitness Group, to explore the emotional weight carried by high-performing women, especially women of color. They dive deep into normalizing therapy, practicing self-care, and building mental resilience through tools like cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. Dr. Johnson shares a powerful framework for regulating emotions, managing stress, and permitting yourself to prioritize your mental health without guilt.

From meditation to boundaries, from purpose to peace, this conversation offers real-world strategies for becoming mentally fit while juggling life's demands. It’s time to take off the cape, say no with confidence, and step into your next level fully supported and grounded.
