0:00.0	Welcome to UnFuck Your Brain. The only podcast that teaches you how to use psychology, feminism, and coaching to rewire your brain
0:16.3	and get what you want in life.
0:18.6	And now here's your host.
0:20.3	Harvard Law School grad, Feminist Rockstar, and Master Coach,
0:24.7	Kara Loyenthyle.
0:26.7	Hello, my chickens, how are you you I am apparently living in a tropical monsoon
0:36.7	which I don't understand because I live in Manhattan but there is like flooding here. I was woken up this morning by one of those loud buzzing alerts on my phone about flash flooding and I just kind of feel like you should be allowed to opt out of those if you live in the sixth floor apartment like I do.
