The UNKAGED™ Woman Podcast with Brig Johnson, APN, MSNA. Where high-achieving Black & Brown women reclaim themselves.

We are not our thoughts. 

Thoughts are merely thoughts, they do not paint the picture of who we are.  It’s not our thoughts themselves that bring things to fruition, it’s our actions. And so it is important to manage our thoughts so that we will take actions that will actually serve us. It’s all about being aware that the intrusive, scary thoughts are merely unsubstantial nothingness that we should question and challenge, and that our intentional, positive thoughts can help shape our behaviors in productive ways. Our brain adds its own narrative to everyday events which we accept as truth. It's time to tell our brains NO and change the narrative. Listen in to learn how.

If you want help with this work, I invite you to reach out to me. I’d love to support you on this journey.

Today we are talking about the invisible enemy that often stops us from completing our assignments, reaching our goals, enjoying our relationships and truly realizing our potential in our journey toward high achievement. It's called panic. 

Panic is a sudden, uncontrollable fear or anxiety often causing wildly unthinking behavior. Sometimes it's operating under the surface with a constant gnawing in our stomach, or having us operate at 80 miles per hour and we don't even understand why.

Panic, stress, anxiety can all be our most formidable adversaries, but know that these are  responses, not reality. Again, they are responses, not our reality. And since they’re a response we can learn to control them. In this episode, I'll share with you exactly how you can do just that. Press play to learn more.

Loneliness is a subjective, unwelcome feeling of lack or loss of companionship. It happens when we have a mismatch between the quantity and quality of social relationships we have and those we want.

Black women suffer disproportionately from loneliness compared to non-minorities because we are bombarded with the pressure from others to value our strength over the need for self-care to preserve our social, economic, and/or professional status.

If we are expected to be strong 24/7 as Black women, when do we have time to be vulnerable? And who can we be vulnerable around? When you consider this, it’s no wonder why Black women suffer disproportionately from loneliness.

In this episode, I want to address this topic of the isolation of achievement so that we can begin to  understand and overcome loneliness as high-achieving black women.

Feeling trapped for us as black women is very common. 

Feeling trapped can lead to an increase of stress hormones, and if it continues for a long, it can also lead to completely disengaging with our lives where we will go from fighting it or fleeing it to saying f*@k it. That is the grin and bear it stage or the go through the motion stage. 

Is this you– Are you attending the parties showing up at work, serving on all the community committees, and still empty as f*@k inside? 

If so, this episode is for you! Listen in as I share the three common thought patterns that keep us trapped and how to unlock them so you feel a sense of freedom and growth instead.

Sometimes we become so lost in what’s going on around us that we lose touch with the most important person in our lives, ourselves.

Checking in with yourself means making intentional steps to pay attention to how you feel on an emotional, mental, and physical level.

So, when was the last time you checked in on yourself?

I'm asking because I want to share a powerful story that involves me doing just that– checking in with myself. 

I'm spilling the tea and revealing some things that I uncovered that may benefit you. Listen in as I take a dive deep into my personal journey from a stressed out single mother of three to a calm, grounded mother who sleeps soundly at night.

This episode is a call to embrace discomfort.

Most of us embrace comfort and resist anything that may lead to discomfort. This is because we can only embrace what we are not afraid of. Evolutionary wise, we were designed to seek comfort– to seek pleasure and to stay the same. That is our survival mechanism. It's in our DNA, but also, there are specific societal conditioning and cultural factors that reinforce our desire for comfort.   

However, when we stay in our comfort zone, we can become unfulfilled and stagnant. So how do you embrace discomfort so that we can grow into our epic sh*t? Listen in to learn how.
