EP. 263 I Should Have Known Better - Is Not A Lesson, It's a Sentence Keeping You Stuck
Aug 17, 202624 min
In this episode, Brig talks about the “I should have known better” spiral that can happen after heartbreak, disappointment, or being let down. Brig shares how that thought can quickly turn into shame, self-doubt, and the painful belief that you missed something you should have seen. But she makes it clear that the issue is not that you made a bad choice. The deeper issue is often the old beliefs, conditioning, and learned patterns that shaped the choice in the first place. Brig reminds listeners that their worth is not determined by someone else’s actions, decisions, or behavior. Instead of using reflection as a way to punish yourself, she invites you to understand what was happening beneath the surface. What did you believe? What were you hoping for? What old program was running? This episode is for anyone who has looked back at a situation and thought, “I should have known better.” Brig offers a more compassionate way to look at your choices so you can separate your worth from someone else’s behavior and move forward with more clarity. What You Will Learn The difference between reflection and self-punishment. How old beliefs and conditioning can shape your decisions. Why understanding your past choices can help you heal instead of shame yourself. How to separate your story from someone else’s actions. How to approach healing with more compassion and clarity. Why This Matters The stories we tell ourselves after disappointment can shape how we see our worth. This episode reminds listeners that shame does not have to be the teacher. When you understand the beliefs and patterns that influenced your choices, you can stop judging yourself and start making clearer decisions from a place of self-trust. Take Action Think about a recent situation where you felt like you “should have known better.” Ask yourself: What did I believe at the time? What was I hoping would happen? What old pattern may have influenced my choice? What can I understand now without using it against myself? Use your answers as information, not evidence against you.

EP. 262 Unbothered Doesn't Mean It Didn't Hurt
Aug 10, 202625 min
In this episode, Brig explores the concept of being "unbothered" and how people misunderstand it today. She addresses the pressure women feel to present a facade of strength and indifference, often masking the emotional turmoil they experience beneath the surface. Brig shares her observations of women who claim to be unbothered while grappling with heartbreak, confusion, and grief. She emphasizes that true healing cannot be rushed or bypassed; it requires acknowledging pain and processing emotions authentically. Brig encourages us to embrace their humanity and give themselves permission to feel deeply, rather than performing for others. What You Will Learn The distinction between genuine unbotheredness and emotional avoidance. Why acknowledging your feelings is vital for true healing. The dangers of skipping the healing process for the sake of appearances. How to handle the emotional aftermath of relationships and life changes. Why your healing path is about you, not about others. Why This Matters Brig's honest conversation serves as a clear reminder that vulnerability is not a weakness, but a crucial part of the healing process. By normalizing the messy, uncomfortable aspects of life, we can create a more real narrative around our experiences. This episode encourages women to prioritize their emotional well-being and to understand that the path to being unbothered is earned through genuine self-care and processing of emotions. Take Action Reflect on your own experiences with heartbreak or disappointment. Allow yourself to feel the emotions that arise without judgment. Consider sharing your authentic path with a trusted friend or community, and remember that it is okay to take the time you need to heal.

EP. 261 Stop Calling It Delusional. You Might Just Need To Remember Who You Are
Aug 3, 202623 min
In this episode, Brig challenges the idea of being "delusional" when chasing big dreams. She asks us to enter a season of remembering. She looks at her past and the need to see proof of earlier wins. She states that many people do not lack belief; they simply forget who they are. Brig talks about changing the podcast name from The Black Woman Stress Solution to The UNKAGED™ Woman. She wants women to break free from rules and find their true power. She notes that humility often hides boldness. This makes women hide their wins and forget their strength. What You Will Learn How to build a file of past wins and hard work. The gap between feeling sure and knowing your worth from experience. Why you must stop saying sorry for your success and own your truth. How to make a short phrase to help you when you feel doubt. Why small wins matter on the road to greatness. Why This Matters Brig reminds us that trust in ourselves is not a fake dream. It is proof of what we can do. By looking at past wins, we fight self-doubt and face new tests. This show reminds us we have a real record of beating hard times. Take Action Start your own proof file. Write down every win and hard time you beat, no matter how small. Use this list to show yourself your strength when doubt creeps in. Find a short phrase that fits who you are and say it before hard tasks to stay firm in your truth.

EP. 260 Why You Keep Feeling Behind — And The Truth About The Timeline That Was Never Built For You
Jul 27, 202626 min
In this episode, Brig Johnson talks about the pressure to follow the “right” timeline and what happens when your life does not match the road you were told you should take. She speaks to the quiet grief that can come with missed milestones, delayed dreams, career pivots, motherhood, rebuilding, or starting later than expected. Brig also challenges the shame that says a different path means you are behind. Through her own story and practical reflection questions, Brig invites us to look at the road we are actually on and consider what may still be available to us. This episode is for anyone who has been measuring their life against someone else’s timeline and wondering if they somehow missed their chance. What You Will Learn How to name and let go of the milestones you feel you’ve missed. Why different roads can still get you to the same destination. How to see the options that may still be available to you. How to look differently at timing, closed doors, and opportunity. Why the road you had access to is not behind, but simply different. Why This Matters This episode is a clear reminder that the timelines we were taught to follow can make us feel behind, inadequate, or like we missed our chance. Brig encourages us to stop shaming the road we had to take and start noticing what that road has taught us. By seeing value in a different road, we can begin to notice other doors, release the grief around missed milestones, and let success look different than expected. Take Action Think about the milestones you feel you’ve missed and ask yourself: Is the destination still available, even if that particular road is closed? Then consider what other roads you may have overlooked and what action you would take today if you fully believed there was another way to reach your goals.

EP. 259 How To Stop Letting Other People's Words Live In Your Head and And Take Your Confidence Back
Jul 20, 202633 min
In this episode, Brig breaks down why protecting your confidence is not optional. It is the foundation for chasing your impossible. Using Michelle Kwan’s response after winning Olympic silver as the central story, Brig shows how quickly someone else can try to define your win as a loss. Kwan’s response, “I didn’t lose the gold. I won the silver,” becomes the anchor for this episode and a reminder that you get to decide what story you let live in your mind. Brig explains that confidence is not just mindset, discipline, or consistency. It is something you have to protect on purpose. She names the everyday threats that can quietly chip away at confidence, including self-criticism, comparison, reframing your wins as not enough, and allowing small negative thoughts to build over time. What You Will Learn How to recognize when someone is trying to reframe your win as something less Why you need to name the win before you name the gap How comparison drains your confidence when you turn it into evidence against yourself Why self-compassion is a strategy, not an excuse How to create a Daily Win file and build evidence of your own capability Why This Matters Brig reminds listeners that confidence is an instrument. It needs maintenance, protection, and care. For Black women, confidence can carry even more weight because shrinking was often taught as a form of safety. This episode challenges that pattern and offers a new way to relate to your wins, your growth, and your impossible goals. Take Action Start a Daily Win file and write down at least one win every day. Practice the Kwan rewrite when something does not go the way you hoped. Instead of using the result against yourself, tell the truth about what happened and what you learned. When self-criticism shows up, pause and remind yourself: This is hard. Other women feel this too. I can be kind to myself while I figure this out.
