My Story…
YES I CAN Living is here to support you in living your best purpose-filled life!
My mission is to inspire and empower you to say YES to the life you dream. I believe success isn’t just about strategy—it’s about soul alignment. I help women entrepreneurs step boldly into their Spirit-led calling, unapologetically aligning their values, vision, and work.
I am a faith-fueled certified life, business, and spiritual leadership coach who helps women step into soul alignment with their Spirit-led calling. I teach them to dream boldly, pray strategically, and say YES with intention — so they can build lives and businesses that reflect who they were created to be.
I guide women through a spirit-led framework that blends prayer, purpose, and practical strategy. While my work is rooted in faith, it is open to all who seek a Higher Power. I offer a space free of judgment and expectation, where women are encouraged to discover their own unique journey. I don’t teach hustle; I teach Spirit-led alignment, because success comes from partnering with God — not striving alone.

Who is Cathy (Alessandra) Johnson?
I am known as the YES I CAN Coach. Why? Because I’ve “been there” and “done that”.
I started my first successful business in 1995 – and sold it it in 2014 when I started coaching full time. But that’s only the top visible layer.
After walking through a health crisis for both myself and a family member, navigating a divorce after a long-term marriage, and selling two businesses, I faced the reality of starting over. And start over I did—rebuilding my life with resilience, faith, and a renewed sense of purpose.
Though I grew up in the church and raised my children in faith, I didn’t fully grasp the depth of what faith really meant until I was tested. I believe faith is not something separate from daily life, but the foundation that holds it all together—meant to be woven into every aspect, both personally and professionally. For me, faith is not about religion—it’s about a deeply personal relationship with God.
Today, I feel called to walk alongside women entrepreneurs—whether they’ve been rooted in faith for years or are just beginning to explore what it means for them. As a Certified Life & Spiritual Leadership and Business Coach, I bring over a decade of experience empowering hundreds of women to step boldly into their calling. My customized approach blends faith, strategy, and soul alignment, guiding women to create businesses—and lives—that truly light them up from the inside out.
