Welcome to The UNKAGED™ Woman, the podcast where high-achieving Black and Brown women stop shrinking and start showing up fully as themselves.
Hosted by Brig Johnson, APN, MSNA, Master Coach Instructor, Nurse Anesthesiologist, and the Black Woman Thrive Architect, this is not another wellness podcast telling you to breathe and journal your way through burnout. Brig brings neurobiology, clinical insight, real lived experience, and the kind of truth most coaching spaces are too polished to say out loud.
Here is what nobody is telling you: you are not the problem. You are running patterns that were wired into you long before you had a choice, and those patterns are draining your health, your joy, your relationships, and your sense of self.
If you have ever:
- Hit every goal and still felt like something was missing
- Said yes when your whole body was screaming no
- Been the strong one so long you stopped knowing what you actually need
- Kept pushing because rest felt like a luxury you hadn't earned
- Made yourself smaller to avoid conflict at work, at home, in love
- Felt guilty for wanting more when everyone says you should be grateful
- Wondered why doing everything right still doesn't feel like enough
This podcast was made for you.
Each week, Brig gets into the survival patterns that keep accomplished women stuck, exhausted, and disconnected from themselves. And explores how to stop over-functioning, build boundaries that actually stick, and live in a way that matches the woman you have worked so hard to become.
This show is for the woman holding everything together while running on empty. The one who is done performing fine and ready to feel it for real.
You were never broken. You were just never given a framework built for you.

Stress has become an unavoidable side effect of life as a high-achieving woman.
My goal is not to help you become stress-free but to help you have freedom from stress.
The best way to tackle rising stress levels is to prepare ourselves and begin to learn how to recover from these unexpected and increasingly difficult stressors. Meaning we must increase our stress capacity. This will help us to face bigger challenges with confidence.
This episode will offer insight into what happens when we increase our stress capacity by increasing our recovery skills.
And if you want more support with improving your capacity for stress recovery, I invite you to join my Deeply Rooted Group Coaching Program. This is the container created just for you where you can master self-awareness by increasing our ability to understand and predict our responses to stress and develop the skills to compassionately increase our capacity for stress so we can continue to create our epic shit.
Doors are open now. Register here

Stress is everywhere; it impacts everyone and pervades all aspects of our lives. And over time it can negatively impact your health and well-being. How you manage stress is related to your thoughts about yourself, your relationship with yourself, your relationship with others, your relationship with your work, and your relationship with your epic sh*t.
That is why it is important to be more stress aware and to take steps to try to lead a more stress-protected life.
This stress thing is a thing, but it is a thing that we can have power over. We can have stress freedom and I want to help you obtain stress freedom. Join me for my next master class…
