    EP. 201 The Weight We Carry—How The Stress Matrix Shows Up In Everyday Life

    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: Metabolic Stress: How is your body telling you it's stressed? Look for signs like poor sleep, low energy, or digestive issues. Work Stress: Where are you holding back or reacting differently at work? Notice the moments when you're adjusting who you are to fit in. Relationship Stress: Where are you feeling unseen or unsupported? Pay attention to how stress from other areas affects your interactions with loved ones. Identity Stress: Where are you being told that who you are isn't enough? Reflect on the pressures to change yourself to meet external expectations. 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. Don't forget to share this episode with your friends. Let's keep dismantling this matrix together. 💪🏾✨ MENTIONED — EP. 200 Breaking Free from Stress: Why You're Stuck, Silent, and Sick—Plus How to Take Back Control RESOURCES  — Join my Newsletter, Unlearn and Unleash Join the Next Breakthrough Master Class here  Register for the Next Melanin Hour here  Book a Breakthrough Call here Share Your Takeaways With Me at brig@brigjohnson.com  STAY CONNECTED — Website | Instagram | Facebook

    EP. 195 [Women Winning Series] Learning How to Say NO! with Robyn Spens

    In the hustle of everyday life, we often find ourselves saying "yes" more than we'd like, leading to overwhelm, stress, and dissatisfaction. But what if the power to change that lies in two simple letters: N-O?  In our latest episode, we dive deep into the art of setting boundaries with Robyn Spens, a therapist and coach who has transformed from a gemologist to a guardian of personal space and self-respect. Robin's journey is as sparkling as the diamonds she once dealt with. She fought her way through a masculine-dominated industry to find her true calling in helping others reclaim their voices. Her story is not just inspiring; it's a roadmap for anyone feeling trapped in the cycle of people-pleasing. Brig and Robin explore the societal pressures that condition us to please others at the expense of our own needs, and the resulting stress and resentment that builds up when we can't say no. Listen in to discover how saying no can actually lead to more respect and authenticity in relationships, and why it's a critical skill for stress relief and emotional well-being. As Robin eloquently puts it, "It's okay that your no is a whisper and then it becomes a roar." Let this conversation guide you there.   GUEST CONTACT —  Robyn Spens, Therapist, Coach and Founder of The Boundary Club | Website | Instagram    RESOURCES  — Join my Newsletter, Unlearn and Unleash Join the Next Breakthrough Master Class here  Register for the Next Melanin Hour here  Book a Breakthrough Call here Share Your Takeaways With Me at brig@brigjohnson.com    LET’S GET SOCIAL — Website - http://brigjohnson.com/  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnsonbrig/?hl=en  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/coachwithbrig
