EP. 201 The Weight We Carry—How The Stress Matrix Shows Up In Everyday Life

The Black Woman’s Stress Solution Podcast: discover the connection between Black women’s stress in work, love, and health—offering real solutions to help you stress less and thrive more!

Last episode, we touched on how stress keeps you stuck, silent, sick, and full of self-doubt. Today, we're going deeper. We're going to explore the interconnectedness of work stress, relationship stress, metabolic health, and identity stress, and how these areas create a matrix that traps us.

Join in as Brig walks you through scenarios that illustrate how stress in one area impacts all others. You'll learn how metabolic stress affects your work, how work stress impacts your relationships, and how relationship stress loops back into your physical health. And most importantly, you'll understand how identity stress is the thread that weaves through it all.

Ready to break free from this matrix? Start by journaling on these key areas:

• Metabolic Stress: How is your body telling you it's stressed? Look for signs like poor sleep, low energy, or digestive issues.
• Work Stress: Where are you holding back or reacting differently at work? Notice the moments when you're adjusting who you are to fit in.
• Relationship Stress: Where are you feeling unseen or unsupported? Pay attention to how stress from other areas affects your interactions with loved ones.
• Identity Stress: Where are you being told that who you are isn't enough? Reflect on the pressures to change yourself to meet external expectations.

By building awareness, you can start to dismantle this stress matrix. Keep journaling, keep noticing, and stay tuned for the next episode where Brig introduces the Safer Method—real solutions to help you stress less and live more.

Don't forget to share this episode with your friends. Let's keep dismantling this matrix together. 💪🏾✨
