EP 244: From Stuck to Sovereign How CJ UNKAGED™ Her Next Chapter

In this powerful episode, I sit down with a special guest, CJ, who recently completed the UNKAGED™ six-month coaching program. CJ shares her transformative journey from feeling unsafe and overwhelmed in her high-powered career to reclaiming her sovereignty and creating space for her passions.

What You'll Learn:

• How feeling "unsafe" in professional spaces is a common experience for Black women that drains our capacity
• Why the "strong Black woman" trope and self-sacrifice mindset limits our potential
• The power of validating your own thoughts and feelings with "this makes sense" instead of questioning yourself
• How to create more capacity by reducing stress and emotional labor
• The difference between culturally-rooted coaching and traditional coaching approaches
• Why recovery is essential for high-achieving Black women

I’m so grateful to CJ for sharing her story and insights with us. Her journey is a powerful reminder that we don’t have to settle for survival mode—we can choose recovery, reclaim our capacity, and live life on our own terms.
