Summary
You’ve hit the milestones: the degree, the dream job, the relationship that looks right on paper. But no matter how much you achieve, that deep sense of confidence still feels out of reach. That isn’t because you’re missing something; it’s because we’ve all been taught to think about confidence the wrong way.
Tune in this week to discover what The Confidence Compass is and how it brings together everything I’ve learned over a decade of teaching women how to live boldly and feel grounded in who they are. This framework will help you finally build a confident life, one where you stop chasing approval and start feeling fully alive.

| 0:00.0 | All right, y'all, today is big. |
| 0:02.5 | This episode is the first in a whole new direction for my work because I have spent the last six months working on the best coaching framework I have ever created. |
| 0:11.3 | I've taken all the work I've done over the past decades since I got certified and I've distilled it into a new tool that is simple but profound and that can solve any problem you have. And today I'm going to share it with you on the podcast for a new tool that is simple but profound and that can solve any problem you have. And today, |
| 0:22.4 | I'm going to share it with you on the podcast for free. So let's get into it. |
| 0:28.6 | Welcome to unfuck your brain. I'm your host Kara Lowenthal, master certified coach and founder |
| 0:34.8 | of the School of New Feminist Thub. I'm here to help you turn down your |
| 0:39.5 | anxiety, turn up your confidence, and create a life on your own terms, one that you're truly excited |
| 0:45.7 | to live. Let's go. You know that saying that the past is new again? I feel a little bit like that today. |
| 0:55.6 | When I first started my business, I was doing lawyer coaching. This podcast was called the lawyer stress |

| 1:14.3 | Over the years, I've called my work a lot of different things. |
| 1:17.4 | But I had kind of moved away from talking about confidence because it felt a little bit overdone |
| 1:22.7 | or overplayed or just like a word that so many people were using. |
| 1:26.4 | But as I've coached thousands of women |
| 1:28.0 | and heard their stories, it's become clear to me that confidence truly is at the heart of what |
| 1:33.9 | women need. It's just that we're not talking about confidence the right way. What we need is a more |
| 1:39.6 | nuanced version of confidence than what you usually hear about. Because we talk about confidence like |
| 1:45.5 | it's a feeling. It's feeling good about yourself when you walk out the door or having a swing in |
| 1:50.9 | your step, wearing a great red lipstick, like something kind of surfacy, something superficial, |
| 1:56.8 | something you wear or put on like a costume or a coat. But that's not really what women want or need. |
| 2:03.2 | We don't need a momentary fleeting confidence. |
