Bernice Johnson was born and raised in a small, country town in South Carolina but recently gave up country life to become a resident of the Capital of South Carolina in 2019. She holds licenses in Property & Casualty and Life for the South Carolina Department of Insurance. Bernice is currently a Senior Commercial Underwriter Assistant, where she supports a team of various commercial property insurance underwriters.
Bernice has devoted her life to doing her best to make her past life choices work positively for her and her three children. When depression knocked on her front door and she was afraid to answer, Bernice resolved to work on herself and now uses what she learned from the challenges she faced to help others overcome their obstacles.
She has a mindset of a perfectionist, but her life has been far from perfect. Becoming a parent at the young age of 20 years old, and now as a single mother of three, Bernice realized that she had to work on herself and build a life for her family. She developed the F.O.Y.E.R. method and has found great success in turning negative situations into positive learning opportunities for growth. F.O.Y.E.R. is an acronym for Focus On Yourself Every day Regardless.
In 2022, Bernice has broken strongholds and barriers to become her family’s first generational trailblazer. She is a contributing author of the Amazon Bestselling anthology, More Than a Conqueror. Her chapter reflects on how facing a life crisis gave her clarity about her divine purpose. By telling her story and sharing God’s glory, Bernice has been featured in the Women of Purpose and Dignity Magazine.
Bernice is an advocate for mental health. She holds an Associate Degree in Business Administration and is a Certified Life Coach. Bernice credits God for her designated journey, which she calls, “A journey of second chances.” She believes her storms in life were on purpose for a purpose. She thanks God for it all.
Acknowledging and recognizing that feeling of hopelessness that so often causes people to get stuck, Bernice seeks to be an inspiration to others and give them hope. She has overcome many trials and tribulations in her own life and wants to show people they can conquer even the most difficult situations they may have encountered.
Bernice is an Award-Winning Author. She was presented the Literary Titan Silver Book Award in August 2023 for her work titled "Keep on Keeping On ~ Your G.R.O.W.T.H Will Bear Fruit to Feed Others. She is a recovering workaholic but has since slowed down to stop and smell the roses. When she is not helping others, Bernice finds great fulfillment in daily journaling.
