Brig Johnson
Master Coach Instructor | Women’s Thrive & Wellness Architect
Helping women recover their energy, confidence, and flow—so they can open themselves to more than they ever knew was possible.
You’ve spent years doing everything right—building success, holding it together, showing up for everyone else.
But your body, your mind, and your joy have been whispering… “I need more.”
It’s time to answer that call.
Every week, I drop one raw, unfiltered truth to help high-achieving women stress less, live more, and thrive—told through the lens of a Black woman who knows the cost of holding it all together.
💜 ABOUT BRIG
I teach women how to stop fighting their bodies and start designing their well-being.
For years, I worked inside operating rooms as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist—watching what chronic stress does to the body.
Then I watched what it did to high-achieving women—especially Black women—on the outside.
Now I blend neurobiology, advanced coaching, and lived wisdom to help women rebuild from the inside out.
Because stress isn’t the enemy; under-recovery is.

You’ve tried executive coaching.

Who’s Behind This Work
(and Why It Had to Be Me)
Founder of the UNKAGED™ Revolution & Creator of the SAFER™ Method
Brig Johnson
I didn’t just create another coaching program. I created a REVOLUTION.
Because borrowing tools from a system that never saw us? That ain’t freedom. That’s repackaged struggle. And I refuse to keep us stuck in shame spirals wrapped in prettier words.
I didn’t tweak what already existed. I BUILT THE KEY.
I burned the blueprint, cracked the code, and ripped the damn cage door off—for good. This ain’t about escaping for the weekend. This is about building lives that don’t require escape in the first place.
I’m Brig Johnson, Master Coach Instructor, Nurse Anesthesiologist, and the Black Woman Thrive Architect behind UNKAGED™. And I created this work because I lived it.
I built this work for the Black woman who keeps it all together while quietly falling apart.
For the ones who are high-achieving but over-functioning.
Who everyone leans on—but who barely has a second to breathe.
I watched brilliant women crash because no one taught them how to regulate, how to recover, how to reclaim their damn self. I didn’t just witness it. I was her.
After five years of coaching high-achieving Black women using the models I was trained in, I started noticing something. My clients weren’t broken—but the frameworks were. I’d wonder, “Why don’t I have that thought?” Or, “Why is my reaction so visceral to this?”
That’s when I stopped trying to force our lived experience into a mold that was never made for us—and started coaching in a way that actually worked for us. What emerged was an entirely new framework: culturally aware, not just trauma-informed. Built on the truth of our nervous systems, our history, and our brilliance.
This work is the product of decades of clinical practice, coaching mastery, cultural clarity, and embodied experience. It’s rooted in neurobiology. Anchored in liberation. And it’s designed to disrupt every lie we’ve been fed about our worth, our strength, and our stress.
They called it burnout.
They called it depression.
They called it "not managing your time."
I call it being KAGED by systems we were never meant to survive in.
The UNKAGED™ YEAR is your personal invitation to finally break free. It’s my 1:1 private coaching experience designed for the woman who’s ready to lead herself differently—from regulation, not reactivity—without losing herself, her relationships, or her health.
