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

and get what you want in life.

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

Kara Loyenthyle.

All right, my chickens. This is going to potentially be a pretty long podcast. So don't get used to this. Those of you who like it and don't freak out. Those of you who don't, this is not like a new format,

it's just that what I want to talk to you about today, once I started going, I just had so much to say. So we're really going to go for it.

We might have to take a break next week.

We'll see.

All right, so I realized that you may have read this title

and thought like, that's weird it's May right

mid-May is kind of a weird time to do an annual review but May was the month that I

originally quit my job, my last law job, to work on my coaching business and practice full time.

I actually think I left like April 15th, but then I had to just lie on the floor and stare at the

ceiling for like three weeks. You know, it was an important part of the process. So

really May is kind of when I got started and so I think of my business, my

practice as kind of running on a May to May schedule.

And I started this podcast, end of April, beginning of May last year, too.

So May kind of is my like business anniversary month.

And I am a big believer in creating rituals that give you the space to

reflect. Even though in some ways my whole life is introspection and

reflecting, I also like to have times on the calendar that I kind of pause and take in the big picture.

I think this is one of the main things that humans get from religion really, is like the space to observe and reflect and create ritual.
