    EP. 186 How To Stop Caretaking And Why We Must Do This For The Culture

    Are you constantly putting others' needs above your own? It's time to reclaim your worth and set boundaries. 
    In this powerful episode, Brig tackles the deeply ingrained issue of caretaking, especially among black women and marginalized identities. Raised to believe that our worth is tied to taking care of others, we often find ourselves prioritizing everyone else's needs above our own. Brig explores how this conditioning affects our intimate relationships, parenting, and overall mental health.
    She challenges us to question the societal norms that dictate our roles as caretakers and the emotional toll it takes on us. Brig emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries and allowing others to face the consequences of their actions. By doing so, we not only free ourselves from unnecessary stress but also give others the opportunity to grow and take responsibility for their own lives.
    If you're tired of the endless cycle of caretaking and ready to reclaim your value, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to learn how to break the cycle of caretaking and focus on your personal growth.

    EP. 185 Challenging Comfort: Struggling To Get Out Your Comfort Zone? This Is For You

    EP. 185 Challenging Comfort: Struggling To Get Out Your Comfort Zone? This Is For You

    In this thought-provoking episode, Brig explores a concept inspired by Nicholas Taleb's book, "The Bed of Procrustes" where Taleb uses the metaphor of living in a box to illustrate how modern civilization confines us in ways that are far from natural or comfortable. But what if everything you thought about your "comfort zone" was actually a lie?
    Listen in as Brig passionately argues that our true comfort zone lies outside these boxes, where we can live boldly, create, take risks, and experience life to the fullest. 
    If you've ever felt trapped by societal norms or wondered why you numb yourself with overeating, over-drinking, or binge-watching TV, this episode is for you. Discover how to break free from the discomfort of the so-called comfort zone and embrace a life filled with passion, creativity, and genuine joy. 
    It's time to reclaim your natural state and start living boldly.

Binge-listening! Worth it!

Lissen… it’s been hard to find a black woman, that’s LCS-certified, creating spaces like this! I’m grateful for this space and thankful for what Brig is doing… being herself, black, cultured, AND helping us with the tools we need to level up!

Truth Promoter ,

Fasten Your Seatbelt and Enjoy the Journey!

Brig’s work is next level! If you are willing and ready to be humbly honest with yourself AND do your personal inner work, this is the podcast for you!

Brig’s work has forced me to ask questions of myself I never thought were remotely important, all while healing and being super gentle with myself in the process!

I highly recommend this podcast to all of my female corporate baddies of color! It’s a necessary tool needed in your toolbox!

All Brown Girls, Listen Honey…..

The perspective that Brig Johnson gives to black women helps to clarify why we function in the world the way that we do. I, personally, am so thankful that she is sharing her work with the world! She is a true light that has done the work and is transparent in the fact that she is still doing the work. She helps brown girls see that we are magic! We just need to unlearn somethings and get control of our brains in order to reach that next level. Thank you Brig for the work that you do!!! Brown girls….you need this podcast in your life. The end. Thank me later.
