Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Jazzy Johnson. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Jazzy, appreciate you joining us today. We’d love to hear the story of how you went from this being just an idea to making it into something real.

My book ‘Love After War’ didn’t start as a book idea — it started as a prophecy. A woman in jail (yep, in jail…you’ll have to read the book) told me I would write it, but I wasn’t ready. I ran from it for almost two years. The healing was heavy, and I had to go through prayer, therapy, and a lot of spiritual wrestling before I could even open my laptop.

Eventually, God kept pulling me back to it. So I surrendered. I started writing in small pieces, chapter by chapter, letting Him guide me through the memories. From there, I focused on structure, editing, and publishing.

So honestly, the book moved from idea to execution through obedience, healing, and showing up—even on the days it hurt.

Jazzy, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I’m a nurse, a self-love coach, and the author of ‘Love After War’—a story of spiritual warfare, survival, and healing after narcissistic abuse. My journey into this work wasn’t something I chose; it was something I lived through and was called into. After surviving a deeply traumatic relationship, a wrongful arrest, and a series of prophetic encounters—including one in jail where a woman told me I would write this book—I realized that God was turning my wounds into an assignment.

I got into this field because I needed the healing first. I had to walk through prayer, therapy, rebuilding my life, and reconnecting with God before I could ever guide others. That process birthed my calling: helping women heal the parts of themselves that trauma, toxic love, and spiritual warfare tried to destroy.

Today, through my coaching, my writing, and my online community, I provide emotional and spiritual support for women who are rebuilding after narcissistic abuse. I teach them how to recognize patterns, break soul ties, rebuild identity, strengthen their faith, and navigate the messy middle between heartbreak and wholeness.

What sets me apart is that I don’t teach healing from a textbook—I teach it from lived experience. I’ve been where my clients are. I know what it feels like to fight silent battles, to try to leave and go back, to lose everything, and still rise. My voice blends faith, real-life transparency, and that ‘big sister who’s been through hell but found her strength’ energy.

I’m most proud of the fact that I turned my pain into purpose. That I didn’t just survive, I built something that now helps others survive too. My book, my coaching, and even my upcoming stage play that is in the works are all extensions of that mission.

I want people to know that my brand is about transformation—authentic, faith-rooted, soul-level transformation. If you follow my work, you’re going to be inspired, challenged, loved on, and reminded that even after war, you can heal, rebuild, and love again.

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

The most rewarding part of being a creative is watching God use my story to set someone else free. Every time a woman tells me she felt seen, understood, or strengthened because of something I wrote or shared, it reminds me why I survived what I survived. Turning pain into purpose—turning my wounds into someone else’s healing—that’s the part that fills me up. That’s what makes the whole journey worth it.

Is there something you think non-creatives will struggle to understand about your journey as a creative?

I think non-creatives sometimes struggle to understand that creating—especially when your work is rooted in trauma and healing—isn’t just ‘making something.’ It’s reliving, releasing, and rebuilding all at once. For me, writing ‘Love After War’ wasn’t just a project; it was a spiritual assignment. There were days I had to stop because the memories were too heavy, or because I felt God pulling me into prayer instead of writing.

Creatives don’t just produce—we pour. We bleed a little. We empty ourselves so someone else can find clarity, comfort, or courage. And that process can’t be rushed, forced, or neatly explained on a timeline.

If anything, I want people to understand that creativity is not just talent—it’s emotional labor, spiritual warfare, and obedience. It’s trusting that what broke you can be used to build someone else up.
