Leah Johnson

Leah Johnson is an author, artist, and transformational speaker who helps people heal through creativity, joy, and connection with the Divine. After a 25-year career in politics and public service—including serving as a City Councilwoman and working on national campaigns—Leah experienced burnout from what she calls her “addiction to success.” That unraveling became a sacred turning point, leading her to discover art and intentional creativity as powerful tools for healing and transformation.

Leah is the founder of Finding Fantastic Joy and the Mama Monarch Center in Colorado, where she guides workshops, retreats, and community gatherings. She is the author of Finding Fantastic Joy and the forthcoming Girl! Baptize Yourself, both of which share her journey of leaving behind what no longer served her to step into a life of joy, creativity, and soulful purpose.

Through her retreats in Teotihuacán, Mexico, Leah weaves together sacred ceremony, intentional creativity, and the wisdom of the Divine Feminine to create spaces where women and seekers can release old stories, reclaim their voices, and remember their wholeness.

Authentic, compassionate, and joy-centered, Leah believes that healing is possible for everyone—and that creativity is medicine for the soul.
