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 all? I feel like I'm now saying just those two first

lines the same way every time. Got like a little habit there. I am amazing. I was just in Dallas with my mastermind and that's my group of other coaches who were trained by my teacher and who are also making at least a million

a year in their business. And being with my mastermind always breaks my brain and my team my employees are used to me coming back and

always changing everything after I go to my mastermind and I love it I love those

days even though my brain is so tired at the end.

Because the reason my brain is so tired is that I'm being challenged to think differently.

And it's such a good reminder to me of why it's so important to surround yourself with people who are ahead

of where you want to be right whether that's in business or life or in thought work

because when we're in our ego and we're thinking we're not good enough, then we don't want to be around other people, right, who like make more money or have higher positions than us or they're married if we're single or whatever it is like wherever we think

that they're ahead of us right because we're constantly comparing ourselves and

finding ourselves wanting and so we'd rather be in a group where we feel superior, right, because that

feels safe and it strokes our ego. And I definitely remember that from early on in my

coaching career, right, when back then I really liked being in a group where I was one of the most successful people.

But now it's totally the opposite. I always want to be towards the bottom of whatever group I'm in.

I want to be around people who are making more money than me. I want to be around

people who are managing their mind better than me. I want to be around people who are making a bigger impact than me, who

are reaching more people with their teaching than me, who are helping more clients than me.
