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.

Hello my chickens, how are you guys it is early in the morning here which is not my

normal working time but I'm just having an opportunity to manage my mind because Con Ed, which is like the local

utility here, has been tearing up and drilling the street outside my apartment now for weeks. It seems never ending and

finding a time to record the podcast when it's quiet is a challenge. So I got up early to do it today. And of course I had forgotten that even though they're not working yet, they've installed like a steel plate that's not fully like bolted to the street. And so every time a car goes over it I can hear it go like the thumb like the thunk.

So it's just so fascinating because I noticed as I was getting ready to record that I was like starting to feel frustrated.

Every time a car went over the thunk, I was like, oh my God, I can't believe in other cars going over that.

Which is like a hilarious thought to have.

Like, right?

Well, I live in Manhattan and there's cars, right?

And I know that thing is there, but my brain still wants to tell me that like

something has gone wrong and this is unacceptable and I should get angry about it.

It's like the brain's life motto is nothing too small to resist reality.

There's like no issue too minor for your brain to throw a tantrum about.

So just keep an eye out for that.

That's my advice to you today about your brain,

because I managed my mind all the time.

I'm a professional, and I still this morning
