About the show

What does it really mean to create an extraordinary life on your own terms? Welcome to The Limitless Life Podcast, where we explore ambition, money, reinvention, identity, success, and the many ways women are choosing to live life differently. Hosted by Brenda Johnston, Subconscious Strategist and Energy Mentor, The Limitless Life brings together fascinating people, unconventional perspectives, and honest conversations about the lives we create, the choices we make, and what influences what we believe is possible for ourselves. From women building successful businesses to those rewriting the rules of success in their 40s, 50s, and beyond, these conversations explore more than what someone has accomplished. They reveal how people think, the choices they've made, what they've learned, and what it really takes to create a life that feels like your own. Drawing on more than two decades of business and marketing experience, along with her work in the subconscious and energetic space, Brenda brings a unique perspective to conversations about ambition, wealth, personal growth, and the beliefs and expectations shaping our lives. Because there's more than one way to live a limitless life. New episodes every Wednesday.

You've Done Subconscious Work. So Why Isn't It Sticking?

When did feeling uncomfortable become proof that all your inner work somehow failed? In this episode, I’m challenging some of the expectations we’ve built around subconscious work and personal development. Because having an old feeling resurface doesn’t necessarily mean you’re back at square one, and understanding your patterns incredibly well doesn’t automatically mean you’re living differently. We’re talking about what real change can actually look like, where integration comes in, and the point where working on yourself may stop moving you forward and start becoming another reason to wait. In this episode, you’ll hear: • Why being activated again doesn’t automatically mean the work failed • A different way to recognize whether you’ve actually changed • Why understanding your patterns and changing them are two different things • What has to happen after the subconscious shift for change to become part of your life • When personal development can become a very convincing form of avoidance Take the next step There’s something you want to change, something you can’t quite figure out, or you know you’re ready for something different but you’re not sure what that looks like yet. Book a complimentary 30-minute Subconscious Strategy Session. We’ll look at what’s going on, what might actually be underneath it, and what needs to shift to move you forward.

You Can Love Your Life and Still Be Bored as Hell

Have you built a life you genuinely love... only to realize you're kind of bored living it? In this episode, I’m exploring the difference between a life that’s full and one that actually feels fulfilling, and why more plans, more goals, or more things don’t always solve the restlessness. We’re talking about ambition, pleasure, identity, getting older, and the old decisions you may still be letting determine what kind of life you’re willing to have now. In this episode, you’ll hear: • Why a busy, beautiful life can still start to feel like Groundhog Day • The difference between being entertained and actually feeling engaged in your life • How ambition can turn the life you’re living now into preparation for someday • Why everything you enjoy doesn’t need to be productive, purposeful, or profitable • What might change if you stopped letting an old version of you decide what you’re willing to try Take the next step There’s something you want to change, something you can’t quite figure out, or you know you’re ready for something different but you’re not sure what that looks like yet.

Success, Identity and the Messy Middle with Anna Lozano

You can achieve the thing you thought would define success and still find yourself asking: who am I without it? In this episode, I’m joined by entrepreneur Anna Lozano for a conversation about the part of success we don’t talk about enough: what happens after you reach the goal and the identity that got you there no longer fits. Anna shares what followed selling Love Powered Co, the messy middle that came next, and why she knew she couldn’t build her next chapter the same way, even though the old way worked. In this episode, you’ll hear: • What can happen when achievement becomes part of your identity • Why reaching the goal doesn’t always make the next step clearer • The difference between building something successfully and wanting to build that way again • What Anna learned from swinging between hustle and surrender before finding her own middle • How trust, rejection, intuition, and discernment are shaping what she’s building next Connect with Anna: • Instagram: @_annalozano | @theprosperityplayground | @theaudaciousask • Website: annalozano.com • Substack: substack.com/@theaudaciousask • Founders Retreat in Mexico : January 18-23, 2027 Take the next step There’s something you want to change, something you can’t quite figure out, or you know you’re ready for something different but you’re not sure what that looks like yet.

The Life I Haven't Lived Yet: 52, Becoming, and What's Next

At 52, I’m thinking less about who I’m supposed to become next and a lot more about the life I still haven’t lived. I’m kicking off Season 7 of the podcast with a personal conversation about what this birthday has brought into focus: the opportunities I’ve almost made myself wait for, old definitions of success I’m no longer interested in carrying forward, and a few expensive business lessons I’m finally ready to talk about. I’m also sharing why this podcast is evolving again, even before I know exactly what that evolution will look like. In this episode, you’ll hear: • Why turning 52 has me questioning the version of success I once thought I wanted • The experience that forced me to confront where I was still waiting to feel “ready” • A business lesson that took four years to clean up and changed how I think about growth • Why I’m letting The Limitless Life evolve before I have the full plan • What it means to stop preparing for your life and start actually living it Mentioned in episode: • Iconic Magazine: https://becomingiconic.co/magazine • October Affirmations for Becoming Available for More: Listen on Apple or Spotify Take the next step There’s something you want to change, something you can’t quite figure out, or you know you’re ready for something different but you’re not sure what that looks like yet.

[ October Affirmations ] for Becoming Available for More

You can say you want more and still be living in a way that leaves no room for it. This month’s affirmations are about expanding what you believe is possible, making space for more support, money, freedom, visibility, and opportunity, and allowing your life to reflect who you are now instead of who you had to be before.

Inside this month’s affirmations, you’ll be supported in: • Expanding what you believe is possible for you • Making room for opportunities that stretch your current capacity • Becoming more comfortable with greater visibility and support • Creating a life that reflects who you are now • Saying yes to the opportunities that expand your life Each affirmation is repeated three times and cycles throughout the episode so you have space to actually let the words land, not just hear them once and move on.

The Art of Relationships: Why Community Is More Powerful Than an Audience with Kristina Bartold

You can build an audience without ever building a relationship. And those two things create very different businesses. In this episode, I’m joined by community builder and entrepreneur Kristina Bartold to talk about the relationship side of business that most people underestimate. We get into why being in the right rooms matters, what gets missed when visibility becomes the goal, and the art of becoming someone people actually want to know, refer, and do business with. In this episode, you’ll hear: • Why being in the room can matter more than being on the stage • What most entrepreneurs miss about building real business relationships • Why some approaches to networking create connection and others create an instant “ick” • The role generosity plays in referrals, opportunities, and business growth • What Kristina has learned about building communities people want to return to Connect with Kristina: • Website: kristinabartold.ca • Instagram: @kristina.bartold • High Vibe Women: highvibewomen.ca Take the next step There’s something you want to change, something you can’t quite figure out, or you know you’re ready for something different but you’re not sure what that looks like yet.

You Know What You Want. So Why Aren’t You Choosing It?

You may already know what you want. The harder question is what choosing it would ask of you. In this episode, I’m looking at the space between knowing and choosing, and why more clarity isn’t always the answer. Sometimes the thing keeping you stuck isn’t confusion at all, even if it looks like overthinking, procrastination, or needing more time. We also get into what makes these decisions feel different when you’ve already built a life, career, business, and relationships around who you’ve been. If there’s something you keep saying you want but still haven’t chosen, this conversation may help you see what’s actually sitting underneath that hesitation. In this episode, you’ll hear: • Why knowing what you want doesn’t always make choosing it easier • What may actually be happening when you keep asking for more clarity • Why the decisions you make later in life can carry a different kind of weight • What your hesitation may be revealing about the choice in front of you • Four questions to help you look at the decision differently Take the next step There’s something you want to change, something you can’t quite figure out, or you know you’re ready for something different but you’re not sure what that looks like yet.

The Grief of Becoming Someone New

Becoming the woman you say you want to be is much more challenging than anyone warns you about. In this episode, I’m talking about the part of personal growth that doesn’t fit neatly into the before-and-after story. You can want different boundaries, more freedom, greater self trust, and an entirely different way of living, then feel surprisingly disoriented when you actually start changing. Becoming someone new means something else has to be left behind, and sometimes what you feel in that space isn’t doubt or a sign that you’ve made the wrong choice. It’s grief. In this episode, you’ll hear: • Why personal growth can feel disorienting even when you want the change • What can happen when your old identity no longer fits • Why missing who you used to be doesn’t necessarily mean you should go back • How to honour who you’ve been without letting her determine what comes next • Three questions to help you trust the woman you’re becoming Take the next step There’s something you want to change, something you can’t quite figure out, or you know you’re ready for something different but you’re not sure what that looks like yet.

[ September Affirmations ] for Becoming Undeniable

At some point, you have to stop asking the room to tell you who you are. This month’s affirmations are about self trust, authority, visibility, and leading like the woman you’ve already spent years becoming. Not waiting for permission. Not chasing validation. Not shrinking so other people can feel more comfortable. These are for the version of you who is ready to walk into the room knowing she belongs there and move from that place. Inside this month’s affirmations, you’ll be supported in: • Trusting your own decisions without waiting for permission • Owning your worth without needing outside validation • Taking up space with greater confidence and self trust • Showing up with more authority in your life and leadership • Living and leading from the identity you’ve already grown into Each affirmation is repeated three times and cycles throughout the episode so you have space to actually let the words land, not just hear them once and move on. Return to this episode daily for 21 days or more to help reinforce the new subconscious patterns you’re choosing to build.

Why Your Inner Critic Is Smarter Than You Think

Your inner critic doesn’t always sound critical. Sometimes she sounds responsible, professional, and extremely convincing. In this episode, I’m looking at the inner critic differently, because the obvious voice telling you you’re not good enough may actually be the easiest one to recognize. The more interesting version is the one telling you to wait, prepare more, explain yourself better, tone yourself down, or make absolutely sure you get it right. I share a recent realization about my own visibility and the version of myself I’ve been showing online, plus what it revealed about self-protection, authenticity, and being seen. If you’re highly self-aware but still find yourself overthinking, over-explaining, perfecting, or holding back, your inner critic may be doing something much smarter than simply criticizing you. In this episode, you’ll hear: • Why your inner critic doesn’t always sound negative • How reasonable advice can sometimes be fear in a much more convincing form • What the “Bland Barbie” realization taught me about authenticity and visibility • Why understanding your patterns isn’t always enough to change them • A different question to ask when your inner critic tells you to wait, perfect, prepare, or play it safe Take the next step There’s something you want to change, something you can’t quite figure out, or you know you’re ready for something different but you’re not sure what that looks like yet.
