Welcome back to our Greatest Hits series where I occasionally like to reintroduce you to one of the greatest hits of the podcast.

Truth is, after doing this for so many years and having hundreds and hundreds of episodes.

There are a lot of great episodes that newer listeners haven't heard at all

or that longtime listeners could stand to go back and revisit.

Each of these podcasts are some of my favorite most impactful, most insightful

podcasts and they are definitely ones that keep giving you new things to learn and think

about the more often you listen to them.

So even if you've heard this episode before, I really encourage you to listen again.

You will pick up new things, your brain will synthesize it differently.

And if you haven't heard this episode yet, then you are in for a treat.

Welcome to UnFuck Your Brain. I'm your host Kara Lowenthile, master certified coach, and founder of the School of New Feminist Thumb.

I'm here to help you turn down your anxiety, turn up your confidence, and create a life

on your own terms, one that you're truly excited to live. Let's go.

Hello my chickens, how are you? This is a momentous podcast because it is the first

podcast recorded in my new home that I've moved into and I am sure that

Pavel my podcast producer is already upset because it's not as well insulated,

but you know, we're going to live with it.

If it's a little echoy, just bear with me. We'll get this sorted out. I'll coat myself in tapestries or something.

So I moved to Brooklyn, which as a nearly lifelong Manhattanite, I did not ever think I would do and even more unlikely I

moved here for a boy I mean for a man for my partner who lives nearby and I'm telling you that because it's actually relevant to today's

podcast because I want to talk to you about when your feelings are not a kind of good guide and how to know when something being really difficult is actually

worth it and good for you.
