This episode is dedicated to all the Black women who bear the weight of their families, jobs, partners, and friends, while often neglecting themselves.
Join Brig as she highlights the historical and cultural expectations placed on Black women to be caretakers, and the immense stress this role brings. She calls out the lie that if we take care of others first, they will reciprocate. The truth is, this expectation often leaves us burnt out, with our health and dreams suffering the most.
In this episode, Brig introduces the "Sovereign Support Strategy," a method to care for others without neglecting ourselves. It's about creating true win-win scenarios where both you and those you support can thrive.
Tune in to learn more and let's stop the cycle of stress and create a future where our brilliance can shine. It's time to flip the script and honor ourselves while supporting those around us.

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:
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.

🎉 Hey, guys! Episode 200. Welcome to the first episode of The Black Woman’s Stress Solutions Podcast. I've been working tirelessly on this, and I hope you love it. Let me know what you're looking forward to and what you've realized about your stress. Send me a DM on Instagram to share your thoughts.
If you've been with me for a while, thank you for sticking around. If you're new, you're in for a transformative journey.
Today, we're diving into what I call the Black Woman's Stress Matrix. We live in a world that demands us to be strong while quietly breaking us down. This isn't our fault. We're surviving a system designed to make us sick. But awareness is the key.
If you've ever felt trapped, exhausted, or just plain done, this one's for you. We're breaking down exactly what this matrix is and how you can start to wake up from it.
Here's your homework for this week: just notice your stress. Don't try to fix it, just observe. Where are you being silent? Where are you stuck? Where are you sick and tired? Where are you doubting yourself? Write it down and journal about it. This awareness is the first step to breaking free from the matrix.
If you want to take this journey on a personal level, my one-on-one impact coaching is open. Go to http://brigjohnson.com/ and schedule a Breakthrough Call.
