EP. 176 How to Stop Shutting Down When The Stakes Are High: Navigating Stress to Reach Your Full Potential

In this episode Brig is diving deep into the ways stress acts as an invisible barrier for high-achieving black women, blocking our path to success and leaving us exerting effort without the payoff.

Tune in to learn the difference between stress and stressors, understand why our baseline stress levels are higher, and why that makes us more susceptible to feeling overwhelmed by our big dreams and goals. Discover why attempts to control our environment may actually increase stress and how to navigate the three C's of the nervous system: collapse, conflict, and coherence.

Stress isn't merely a personal inconvenience; it's a systemic issue rooted in societal roles, expectations, and the unique pressures faced by black women. Brig is here to shatter the illusion that stress is something we just have to deal with and instead, offers a revolutionary way to manage, master, and even harness it as a tool for growth.
