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.

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!

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.

“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!

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.

I believe in the power of being in rooms with people who think at a higher level than you do, because it causes you to rethink your current thoughts and your current reality, then you can have the possibility to change some of those thoughts and start growing.
And so, I did a thing y'all! I recently joined the biggest mastermind that I have ever been a part of.
In this mastermind, I am literally the lowest earner. Everyone else in the room is at $1M+. And while it officially starts in January, we have already had a couple of meetings and there is something that I realized that I want to share with you.
I notice that there's no secret to success. Success is actually a skill. And what these high earners are doing is something I'm calling speed of implementation. Meaning, they get coached, immediately implement it and come back to the next meeting with the results they experienced.
This is one of the main differences I see for us as high-achieving women of color, we don't take immediate action. So let's talk about some of the reasons why I think speed of implementation is a thing for us.

Saying “I don’t know” and adopting a growth mindset are powerful means for becoming smarter and more skilled individuals. This allows you to get curious, creative and ask questions so that you can obtain the knowledge you currently lack.
There is a flip side to saying “I don’t know” and that is when you think you should know. When you think that not knowing means something about you.
To be clear, you not knowing is not the problem. The problem is when you say “I don’t know” and instead of trusting that you will use the resource available to you to figure it out, you sit there and spin and turn in IDK Ville.
The meaning you apply to saying “I don’t know” makes a huge difference in how you will proceed. Listen in as I share some strategies on how you can keep going rather than staying stuck in IDK Ville.

According to dictionary.com, “It is what it is”, is an expression used to characterize a frustrating or challenging situation that a person believes cannot be changed and must just be accepted.
When we say, “it is what it is”, we think that we're being kind to ourselves and we're really accepting things the way they are, but that is not the case.
As innocent as these words may seem, they could end up having a largely negative effect on our personal development and the way we live our lives.
The basic meaning behind these words is that we are unable to change our circumstances and that equals a sense of powerlessness and a feeling of being trapped.
Queens, you are not powerless. What you need is a power shift. Listen in to learn how to make this shift and move to a space of empowerment.
