The Black Woman’s Stress Solution Podcast: discover the connection between Black women’s stress in work, love, and health—offering real solutions to help you stress less and thrive more!

In this episode, I delve into the often stigmatized concept of neediness, particularly as it pertains to black women. Listen in as I challenge the negative perceptions around neediness, emphasizing that acknowledging and honoring our emotional needs is a strength, not a weakness. It's high time we shift the narrative surrounding neediness and embrace it as a source of personal strength and unapologetically assert our needs, both within ourselves and in our interactions with others. I invite you to reflect on the ways you might have been suppressing your own neediness and start embracing our humanity. Reach out to me with your thoughts, feedback.

First, we discuss the importance of being aware and brutally honest with ourselves as we confront our patterns and behaviors.

Then we debunk the myth that personal growth is always hard work, emphasizing that it's about embracing discomfort and being curious about our thoughts and feelings. We introduce the concept of the "curiosity code" and the courage it takes to embark on this journey. Finally, we reflect on the transformation that can occur in just a few coaching sessions and the value of creating a safe space for growth. We also discuss the power of sharing personal stories and how vulnerability can lead to powerful breakthroughs.

Ever had a friendship that took an unexpected turn? Join me in this episode as we explore the art of repairing relationships. I share my personal experience of navigating such a situation and the lessons I learned. It's crucial to give our friends the space to process, even if it gets messy. But what if that friendship takes an even more unexpected turn? I delve into the importance of truly looking at our roles and taking responsibility for the twists in our relationships. I introduce a powerful three-step bridge-building process for repairing relationships, emphasizing the significance of starting with the other person, owning your actions, and acknowledging their pain. Repair isn't about justifying yourself—it's about understanding them and showing change in your behavior and the process of repair isn't just about fixing relationships with others; it's also about repairing your relationship with yourself.

It’s not uncommon for my clients to acknowledge that they don’t feel particularly safe in their life. Whether it’s the external safety of feeling protected and looked after, and/or the feeling safe in your own skin… safety is one of our primary concerns as a human being. This may be true for you as well. Not feeling safe can look like a pattern of anxiety and/or depression. You may even restrict what you do and when, such as pursuing your epic sh*t. Becoming her own safety zone was the goal of today's guest, my client and master life coach, Goli Kalkhoran.

Being too big for your britches is defined as being conceited or self-important. What this statement is saying to me is there is a “right” way and a” wrong” way to be confident. There is nothing more fearful for a high-achieving black woman than the possibility of stepping outside of what is the norm. This is a conditioned threat we have been taught and have internalized and it leans to us asking such questions as: Am I being too big for my britches? Am I crazy for wanting to do this? Am I overstepping my bounds? The answer is NO! The success that you want is available to you, but you must stop internalizing this belief in order to step into your own authority and move toward your epic goal. Listen in as we explore what it would be like if the thought of being too big for your britches wasn't a thang and discuss strategies you can implement to take your agency back from this being a condition threat.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Today, I want to talk about something that I think is important for us to understand and that is the difference between our objective, our tactics, and understanding the strategy behind them. As high-achieving women, we are very clear about our objectives. We know exactly what it is that we want to achieve. What I want to help us gain clarity around is the tactics that we choose to use to accomplish the objective. It is important for us to know that using tactics without a deeper understanding of the strategy behind them can lead to outcomes that we don't necessarily like. And a lot of times, not only do they not work, but they send us backward. Listen in as I share how you can select the correct tactic you need to accomplish your objective by identifying the appropriate strategy to execute the tactic.

Apologizing to you for being you is like you have this, “ I'm sorry, I am the way I am” kind of vibe going on. This may not be something that you do subconsciously or even to other people, but apologizing to you for being you is an internal discourse within you that is keeping you from where you want to be. Even if you're working on improving yourself, you don't do that through apologizing for who you are, you do that by owning, “This is who I am, and this is where I am”. You don't argue with it, and resist it because you will never get to where you want to be by apologizing and resisting where you are. Stop apologizing for reactions in your body to things that happen in this world, inside of you and around you. It is meant to be felt. It is meant to be experienced. You have a right to be here. You have a right to be yourself. And you have a right to your feelings. No apologies need it. I want you to live unapologetically within the confines of your body. Listen in to learn how.

Continuing our conversation from EP. 121 Bad Things Happen To Good Girls, EP. 122 Redefining GOODT ENUFF, and EP. 123 Suffering and the GOODT Black Women MENTALITY, today we are talking about what to do when you don't get the results you want. So we’ve been focusing on this good girl mentality and how we have labeled negative things that happen as a problem and identifying that problem as being us, which leads to a false sense that if we were somehow different, this wouldn't have happened. We forget that life is 50/50, good and bad things happen, and we can't control it, and so when the “negative thing” is happening, we think we did something wrong. But what if you made a mistake? What if you did choose something, and now the consequences are putting you a couple of steps backward on your journey? What do you do after a f*%k up? Let’s go there and discuss how to move forward.

Continuing our conversation from episodes, EP. 121 Bad Things Happen To Good Girls and EP. 122 Redefining GOODT ENUFF, today we are talking about suffering. As we discussed previously, we have certain thought errors that are holding us back from growing and thriving in our epic-ness. When we think that we're not being the “good girl" , problems happen, then we make it a problem that we have a problem. Here’s the thing, life is 50/50, good and bad. No matter how “good” you are, you will still deal with pain, disappointment, embarrassment, grief, etc. It is inevitable. So if pain is a normal part of the human experience and it's not a problem, then what is causing suffering? You’ll be surprised to know that suffering is optional. Tune in to learn more.

In this week's conversation, I'm expanding on the discussion started in last week's episode, EP. 121 Bad Things Happen To Good Girls, around the good girl syndrome. Last week I shared that we think if we are living by the standard of the good girl, then the good girl doesn't have problems, and so we believe having a problem is a problem, but it's not. The problem is that we think “this” shouldn't be happening because “this” doesn't happen to good girls. Not true. The good girl standard is the problem. And this standard is causing us to feel like we are not good enough. These are thought errors that are holding us back from growing and thriving in our epic-ness. Let’s correct these thought errors by redefining good enough. So grab a pen and paper then press play to tune into this interactive episode to learn how to redefine good enough. And if you need additional support with releasing the “good girl syndrome”, get on the waitlist for the Deeply Rooted Group Coaching Program by visiting www.brigjohnson.com/group for more details.

Have you ever asked yourself these questions: Am I a bad girlfriend if I reply to texts late? Am I a terrible friend for canceling plans? Am I a bad person if I don't have a certain amount of money? What you're grappling with is the “good girl syndrome”. From childhood, many women are socialized to please others, at the cost of their own well-being or needs. The world is screaming: If you’re good, nothing bad will happen to you. And so we adopt the idea that good girls don't upset people, good girls don't put herself first, good girls don't disappoint others. These are thought errors that are holding us back. Listen in to learn how to shift these thoughts so that you can grow and thrive in your epic-ness.

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… STRESS FREE IN 2023: BLACK WOMEN: STRESS, FAILURE & SUCCESS!

I know it is the eve of Valentine's Day, but guess what? I won’t be talking about love in this episode. Instead, I want to continue the conversation around failure because I want us as black women to drop the mask, do our epic sh*t, and embrace failure along the journey. Last week I shared that if we were willing to fail, we would accelerate our speed of implementation. So I have a challenge for you. Let's use this week, the week of love, to love ourselves enough to shed the perfection, lean into getting out of our comfort zone and fail. And if you want more support with improving your capacity for failure to excel in your recovery and implementation, I invite you to join Deeply Rooted.

Happy Black History Month! To add to the celebration, I’d like to continue our conversation around failure. In EP. 104 I feel the NEED for SPEED! I shared that as black women, we struggle with failure since historically it’s a safety issue for us to take imperfect action. But if we desire to do epic sh*t, we must get comfortable with failure and improve the speed at which we process and recover. Queens, your dream, your goal, has nothing to do with your capability. You failing has nothing to do with your capability. Not achieving the goal in the established timeframe has nothing to do with your capability. It has everything to do with your ability to recover from stress or failure and speed of implementation to pivot. Listen in to learn how to accelerate your failure capacity by increasing your speed of implementation. And if you want more support with this work, I invite you to join Deeply Rooted.

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.

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!

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.
