Last week we played the what-if game. What if all these obnoxious thoughts we had on consistent bases had nothing to do with our worthiness yet they continue to hinder us from creating epic shit? Right.
So if none of these thoughts have anything to do with us. If it’s not that we’re wrong. If it’s not that we’re unworthy. If it has nothing to do with our past, then what is it?
That is the question, Queen. What is it?
Listen in to learn how we can identify and solve for the actual problem.
And don’t forget that for the month of May 2022, I am offering an opportunity for some FREE coaching. We’re calling it the Melanin Hour. It’s a safe place where you can talk about everything high-achieving, life, business, work, etc.
The next call is happening on May 27, 2022, at noon. To sign up for one of the two open coaching calls visit https://www.brigjohnson.com/coaching

EP. 122 Redefining GOODT ENUFF
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.
EP. 121 Bad Things Happen To Good Girls
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.
EP. 119 Our Bodies As Property: An Interview With Dr. Zakiya Luna
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Zakiya Luna. Dr. Luna is an Associate Professor of Sociology, a Dean’s Distinguished Professorial Scholar, a great friend of mine, an author, and a participant in Deeply Rooted.
EP. 118 What Happens When We Increase Our STRESS Capacity?
Stress has become an unavoidable side effect of life as a high-achieving woman.My goal is not to help you become stress-free but to help you have freedom from stress.
EP. 117 Are you STRESS Aware?
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.
EP. 116 Come Fail With Me! My Challenge To You
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.
