High-achieving Black women aren’t stuck because we’re doing it wrong—we’re stuck because we’ve been conditioned to survive, not to thrive.
In this episode, I get real about why I burned down all my coaching offers. I share the moment that changed everything, what I discovered underneath all the mindset work, and why I’m no longer coaching around the edges of the wound.
What we often call procrastination, self-sabotage, or burnout?
It’s not a personal flaw.
It’s your nervous system doing what it was built to do: protect you.
When I finally gave myself permission to stop performing and start feeling safe, I unlocked a deeper capacity—to rest without guilt, to dream without fear, and to stop abandoning myself just to be accepted.
This is what the UNKAGED Revolution is all about:
Helping high-performing women like us recalibrate our nervous systems, reclaim our voice, and rise from survival into sovereignty.
If you’re tired of shrinking, proving, or managing stress with hacks that don’t heal—this episode is for you.
You don’t need more discipline.
You don’t need to fix yourself.
You need safety.
You need softness.
You need a nervous system that finally feels free.
The revolution begins with you.
💥 Recovery is not rest. It’s reclamation.
Reclaiming your time.
Your energy.
Your breath.
Your baseline.
We dive deep into why recovery is the missing skill set for high-achieving Black and Brown women—and how without it, we’re stuck in cycles of burnout, overperformance, and silence.
You’re not broken.
You’re under-recovered.
Let’s change that.
