Welcome to The UNKAGED™ Woman, the podcast where high-achieving Black and Brown women stop shrinking and start showing up fully as themselves. Hosted by Brig Johnson, APN, MSNA, Master Coach Instructor, Nurse Anesthesiologist, and the Black Woman Thrive Architect, this is not another wellness podcast telling you to breathe and journal your way through burnout. Brig brings neurobiology, clinical insight, real lived experience, and the kind of truth most coaching spaces are too polished to say out loud. Here is what nobody is telling you: you are not the problem. You are running patterns that were wired into you long before you had a choice, and those patterns are draining your health, your joy, your relationships, and your sense of self. If you have ever: Hit every goal and still felt like something was missing Said yes when your whole body was screaming no Been the strong one so long you stopped knowing what you actually need Kept pushing because rest felt like a luxury you hadn't earned Made yourself smaller to avoid conflict at work, at home, in love Felt guilty for wanting more when everyone says you should be grateful Wondered why doing everything right still doesn't feel like enough This podcast was made for you. Each week, Brig gets into the survival patterns that keep accomplished women stuck, exhausted, and disconnected from themselves. And explores how to stop over-functioning, build boundaries that actually stick, and live in a way that matches the woman you have worked so hard to become. This show is for the woman holding everything together while running on empty. The one who is done performing fine and ready to feel it for real. You were never broken. You were just never given a framework built for you. Welcome to UNKAGED™. New episodes drop weekly. Visit https://brigjohnson.com/ to learn more about Brig Johnson and her coaching services. more
