On this episode, I'm joined by another one of my amazing clients, Janae Young.
Janae is a college coach who helps students reach their goal scores and get into their dream schools. She’s been an entrepreneur for six years now, having started her business right after her 15th birthday.
Her story is incredibly inspiring and I can't wait for you to hear it. I specifically want you to notice the mindset principles that she uses to make decisions and how being in a container with other high-achieving black women is the best decision she has made for her business and how it's helping her to solidify her plans to elevate to the next level.
Sit back, relax and listen in as Janae drops nugget after nugget while sharing insights on…
- The power of decision making.
- Nailing down your niche and branding.
- Taking action in spite of seeing the evidence of success.
- The importance of mindset as a business owner.

EP. 113 When ”They” Talk About You
Monday Jan 23, 2023
Monday Jan 23, 2023
Today we are talking about the dreaded F word, failure.
As high-achieving women of color, when we're getting ready to do our epic shit, it's not a matter of if we're going to fail, it's when.
To accomplish our epic shit means we are going against the grain. We are moving in the opposite direction of the crowd, which means we will encounter things that require trial and error to figure out the next best move. Therefore when we go after our epic shit, failure is a must. It is part of the journey. Yet many of us are afraid to fail.
I want to talk about why that is from a couple of different angles and give you the ability to redirect how you look at failure. Press play to learn how.

EP. 111 When Your Brain Makes Sense
Monday Jan 09, 2023
Monday Jan 09, 2023
It’s that time of year again – when everyone is talking about New Year’s Resolutions, things to improve upon, change or become better in the new year. I’m not a huge fan of resolutions, however, I am a big fan of goals – of dedicated hard work day after day to work towards your epic sh*t.
As you choose your BIG goal, I want to encourage you to set a scary goal that might seem impossible. Not because you need it to be big, but because of what it requires of you to do that.
For those of you who have done that, you have set those big scary goals that make you think, “ I have no business doing this". I want to talk to you.
I know your brain is messing with you. Giving you evidence that you are right, your goal is impossible. Here's the deal, your brain is making sense.
In this episode, I will share what you can do when your brain is making sense. I am excited about helping you, high-achieving black women, create not just your epic sh*t, but your epic life. Let's go!

EP. 110 {Throwback} Stop Having One Sided Conversations with Your Brain
Monday Jan 02, 2023
Monday Jan 02, 2023
We often dismiss our thoughts because they seem rational or accurate, but it is not always true. When our minds start saying dreadful things to ourselves, don’t let our minds get away with it.
The self-talk in our head is responsible for many of our failures and why we think the way we do. Until we change what we say to ourselves, we’ll continue to trip over these internal conversations.
Listen in to learn how to transform your thoughts by changing the self-talk in your head when you stop having one-sided conversations with your brain.

EP. 109 {THROWBACK} Let’s Talk Intimacy
Monday Dec 26, 2022
Monday Dec 26, 2022
Today we are doing a throwback of one of my favorite podcast episodes, EP. 38 Let's Talk Intimacy. This episode is not only one of my favorites but also covers one of the main concepts of my group coaching program, Deeply Rooted.
The essence of what we need to do as black women to stand tall, grow, do epic shit and create our epic lives is finding true intimacy with ourselves. But too often, we don’t know ourselves enough to understand how we need to love ourselves. Instead, we understand ourselves to punish ourselves. It is time to change this dynamic.
Queen, we need to work on our self-intimacy.
This is the work that I do with high-achieving black women. If you need help improving your core relationship with yourself, I invite you to join the next cohort of the Deeply Rooted Group Coaching Program. The waitlist is open. Join today at https://www.brigjohnson.com/group.
Let's go!

EP. 108 When They Ask About YOUR LITTLE THANG!
Monday Dec 19, 2022
Monday Dec 19, 2022
It's the holiday season, and with that comes social gatherings.
For us, high-achieving women, this also means we will have to face that dreaded question from those who do not support our epic shit – how is that LITTLE THANG you've been working on?
Your thought in this circumstance may be “they should get it. They should support me. If they loved me, they would get it”. The thing is, this thought is not true. Actually, they get to have sentences in their head about your epic shit, and as long as you don't adopt their sentence about you, then you won't be uncomfortable when they bring it up.
I want to offer this. Do you need them to believe in you because you don't believe in yourself?
Press play and let's talk about it.

EP. 106 The Other Side of GRATITUDE
Monday Dec 05, 2022
Monday Dec 05, 2022
“Just be grateful for what you have.” Are you familiar with this statement?
Today we are challenging this old rule of being grateful for what you have because this is a standard of being that many of us have accepted without question.
If you think you should just be grateful for what you have, you will not require more of yourself or the people around you. Why? Because that would mean that you are ungrateful.
Rather than just being grateful and settling, I think it is possible to be grateful AND demand your worth. Let's talk about it.
Press play to tune in!

EP. 105 The Value of Coaching Series with Franchelle Caesar
Monday Nov 28, 2022
Monday Nov 28, 2022
I am so excited to bring you another client spotlight episode. You all know how much I love these conversations!
Today we are chatting with Franchelle Caesar. Franchelle is the Financial Coach for spenders. She coached with me for a total of 1 year as a 1:1 client and now she is completing her second round of the Deeply Rooted cohort. We intended to record this interview after her first six months of 1:1 coaching but it got done after the second round and as you will hear how her transformation after the second six months of coaching is even more amazing.
Not only was she able to clearly define who she is and become more grounded in herself, but she has also gained clarity around who she serves. This has caused her coaching business to take off.
We cover the gamut in this high energy, engaging conversation. I am confident that you will gain some valuable insights and takeaways that you can apply to your life. Enjoy the episode.
