Summary

If you could become the fullest version of yourself, what would that even look like? After coaching thousands of women for nearly a decade, I can tell you this is the real question beneath every goal, every dream, and every moment of frustration. We all want self-actualization, but most of us stay stuck not because we lack ambition, but because we have never been taught the skill that makes self-actualization possible.

 

In this episode, I explain why self-actualization has nothing to do with your circumstances, your upbringing, your bank account, or the state of the world. It comes from learning how to act on possibility instead of waiting for certainty. I teach you how to move your threshold for action from probable to possible, and why this shift is essential if you want to grow into your future self.

After almost a decade of coaching thousands of women all over the world, I can tell you that what we all

0:05.3

want boils down to one thing. Self-actualization. We want to fulfill our potential. We want to

0:12.7

flourish. We want to experience everything we are capable of. This is an innate desire. The reason we

0:19.5

don't experience self-actualization is not a lack of desire,

0:23.2

or a lack of character even, or willpower, or discipline. And it's not because of our circumstances

0:28.2

either. It's not our parenting, our finances, our job, the political situation, or anything else.

0:34.7

Those things have impacts on us, of course, but they don't determine our

0:37.8

possibilities. We aren't self-actualized because we don't have the skill of acting on possibility

0:43.7

rather than certainty or even probability. So that's what I want to teach you how to do today.

Let's get into it. Welcome to unfuck your brain. I'm your host, Kara Lowenthal, master-certified coach, and founder of the School of New

So, there are a million different kinds of coaches out there. At a recent mastermind,

1:17.7

I was seated with a coach who helps people speak English fluently and get over accent anxiety,

a coach who helps families get scholarships for college, a business coach who helps new moms,

1:27.7

balance motherhood and entrepreneurship, a coach who helps people learn how to design and produce

stickers. All of these coaches made seven figures or more. So it sounds like a huge difference

1:37.9

in niche, right? And it is, and it's such a good example of how there's room for so many

1:41.8

different kinds of coaches. But at the core of what

1:44.5

any coach does is help their clients self-actualize. People want to accomplish their goals and create
