In this episode, I open up about the journey of celebrating my son's achievements, discussing my mental health, and sharing my dreams for the future. Plus, I dive into how Walk of Wellness aims to make a difference for Canadians, especially those facing homelessness." And that should give it that friendly yet meaningful vibe.

Welcome to the very first episode of 2026. A new year, a new chapter, and honestly… a new version of me.

I’m Johanna, the founder of Walk of Wellness, a fitness business built on something deeper than workouts and routines. It’s built on the belief that movement is medicine, that healing isn’t linear, and that wellness is a journey—not a destination.

Today, I want to start this year by talking about two things that have shaped me the most:

My business and my mental health.

Walk of Wellness started as an idea, but it grew into a mission.

A mission to help people move their bodies, reconnect with themselves, and feel strong again—physically and mentally.

This year, I’m taking Walk of Wellness to a new level.

More programs. More community. More honesty.

Because fitness isn’t just about the perfect routine—it’s about showing up, even when life feels heavy.

Let’s be real: starting to run a business while managing mental health isn’t easy.

There were days in 2025 when I felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of myself.

But there were also days when I surprised myself—days when I pushed through, days when I grew, days when I remembered why I started.

This year, I’m choosing transparency.

I’m choosing to talk about the hard days, not just the highlight reel.

Because someone out there needs to hear that they’re not alone.

2026: A Year of Alignment

This year, I’m focusing on:

• Building Walk of Wellness with intention

• Protecting my mental health

• Creating a community where people feel safe, supported, and inspired

• Moving my body not out of pressure, but out of love

2026 is the year I walk in alignment—with my purpose, my passion, and my peace.
