MEET TAMMY JO JOHNSON

Tammy Jo doesn't just offer inspiration, she IS inspiration. 

 

In her first book (the story of her life), "From the Ground Up : Overcoming the Past and 

 

Rebuilding Your Confidence"--Tammy Jo breaks the silence of the impact that bullying, and 

 

molestation can have on a young girl leading up to suicide and including murder.

 

Her story is so harrowing--so intriguing that her audiences are captivated by the physical portrait of 

what overcoming actually looks like.

 

Her second book, "Matters of The Heart: Embracing Life's Processes", (Avail April 2015) she digs into the real reasons why we can't lose weight, fix our marriages and excel in our careers. She shares the story of other's and introduces a new thought pattern to help those who feel "stuck" starting 

with the core of who we are.

 

Tammy Jo has battled homelessness, single parenthood, domestic violence and poverty.  However, her life is exemplified through her presence. The gravitational pull of her words and motivation is astounding as she has been dubbed "beautiful warrior", yes because of what she has pulled through--but more so because of whom she has become.

 

The television host of TBN's local show "Joy in Our Town", Seminar Leader, Keynote Speaker and 

 

 

 

Founder of Breaking Ground Learning Systems, LLC --Tammy Jo's authenticity, leadership and 

 

passion for life & love is more than a spiritual encounter, it is a mark of endurance. 

She boldly travels with her audience into the forbidden realm of the past, through spirit realms, to bring to the surface reality at its fullest: 

 

She says, "Your past may not be your fault, but the part it plays in your future IS your responsibility."

 

Her speaking topics include:

 

•Suicide Awareness

 

•Corporate Bullying & Harassment

 

•From the Ground Up *her personal story*

 

•The Raw Truth (Living Holistically in a World of Lies)

 

The value and wisdom spoken by someone who has "been there done that AND got through it"...is 

 

powerful. Being in her presence after hearing about it... 

 

matchless.
