Welcome to UnFuck Your Brain. The only podcast that teaches you how to use psychology, feminism, and coaching to rewire your brain

And now here's your host, Harvard Law School grad, Feminist Rockstar, and Master Coach,

Kara Loyenthyle.

Hello, my chickens.

So today I want to start with a thought experiment and I promise this is not going to be like your college

philosophy classes or if you went to law school that horrible like the tram is going down the

tracks and do you pull the switch?

You guys know what I'm talking about if you're lawyers.

Okay, that's not what we're doing today.

I'm a little punchy tonight, you guys, I hope that's okay.

I hope we're all having fun all right so

here's the thought experiment let's say you're on the beach and you're feeling

pretty lard you're feeling your look you like your bathing suit you're having a good hair day with all that sea breeze.

If you had to rate your body satisfaction from a 1 to a 10, it would be like a solid 8.

Then you look up from the selfie you're taking and you see two supermodels walking down the beach trailed by photographers.

And suddenly you feel awful.

Thoughts start darting through your brain. They're gorgeous, I'll never look like that,

look how thin and glamorous they are. I'm so frumpy, my hair is frizzy, my thighs jiggle,

I hate how I look. Suddenly your body satisfaction has plummeted.

That's totally illogical, right? Those supermodels existed before you saw them.

They were just behind you and you didn't see them and you felt great about yourself.
