As we stand on the cusp of a new year, Brig challenges us to leave behind one destructive habit: being our own worst critic. As Black women, we carry the weight of many roles—protector, nurturer, and fixer—not just for ourselves but for others too. Yet, in the process, we often become our own harshest critics. In this quick yet impactful episode, Brig implores us to stop turning our frustrations and disappointments inward. Tune in as Brig unpacks how societal conditioning has trained us to see ourselves as the problem, making us our easiest target. She also emphasizes the importance of recognizing when we're doing this, refusing to shrink, and turning compassion inward. This episode is a powerful love note to every Black woman, reminding us that we are not too much, not broken, but a whole masterpiece navigating a world that wasn't built for us to thrive. Imagine the bold moves we could make and the peace we could feel if we stopped the self-blame. In 2025, let's choose to be our greatest ally, not our easiest target.

Last episode, we touched on how stress keeps you stuck, silent, sick, and full of self-doubt. Today, we're going deeper. We're going to explore the interconnectedness of work stress, relationship stress, metabolic health, and identity stress, and how these areas create a matrix that traps us. Join in as Brig walks you through scenarios that illustrate how stress in one area impacts all others. You'll learn how metabolic stress affects your work, how work stress impacts your relationships, and how relationship stress loops back into your physical health. And most importantly, you'll understand how identity stress is the thread that weaves through it all. Ready to break free from this matrix? Start by journaling on these key areas: Metabolic Stress: How is your body telling you it's stressed? Look for signs like poor sleep, low energy, or digestive issues. Work Stress: Where are you holding back or reacting differently at work? Notice the moments when you're adjusting who you are to fit in. Relationship Stress: Where are you feeling unseen or unsupported? Pay attention to how stress from other areas affects your interactions with loved ones. Identity Stress: Where are you being told that who you are isn't enough? Reflect on the pressures to change yourself to meet external expectations. By building awareness, you can start to dismantle this stress matrix. Keep journaling, keep noticing, and stay tuned for the next episode where Brig introduces the Safer Method—real solutions to help you stress less and live more. Don't forget to share this episode with your friends. Let's keep dismantling this matrix together. 💪🏾✨ MENTIONED — EP. 200 Breaking Free from Stress: Why You're Stuck, Silent, and Sick—Plus How to Take Back Control RESOURCES — Join my Newsletter, Unlearn and Unleash Join the Next Breakthrough Master Class here Register for the Next Melanin Hour here Book a Breakthrough Call here Share Your Takeaways With Me at brig@brigjohnson.com STAY CONNECTED — Website | Instagram | Facebook…

In the hustle of everyday life, we often find ourselves saying "yes" more than we'd like, leading to overwhelm, stress, and dissatisfaction. But what if the power to change that lies in two simple letters: N-O? In our latest episode, we dive deep into the art of setting boundaries with Robyn Spens, a therapist and coach who has transformed from a gemologist to a guardian of personal space and self-respect. Robin's journey is as sparkling as the diamonds she once dealt with. She fought her way through a masculine-dominated industry to find her true calling in helping others reclaim their voices. Her story is not just inspiring; it's a roadmap for anyone feeling trapped in the cycle of people-pleasing.

Listen in to discover how saying no can actually lead to more respect and authenticity in relationships, and why it's a critical skill for stress relief and emotional well-being. As Robin eloquently puts it, "It's okay that your no is a whisper and then it becomes a roar." Let this conversation guide you there.

Brig emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries and allowing others to face the consequences of their actions.

Listen in as Brig passionately argues that our true comfort zone lies outside these boxes, where we can live boldly, create, take risks, and experience life to the fullest.
