| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Unfuck Your Brain. The only podcast that teaches you how to use psychology, feminism, |
| 0:14.0 | and coaching to rewire your brain and get what you want in life. And now here's your |
| 0:19.3 | host, Harvard Law School grad, feminist rock star, and master coach, Carla Lohanthile. |
| 0:26.3 | Hello, my chickens. Today, it's story time. I want to read you a story written by one of |
| 0:35.4 | my students that is an incredible testament to the power of this work and what can change |
