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 rock star, and master coach, Carla Lohanthile.

understand your niche and your clients and to understand whether they, for instance, need

to be motivated to set goals and learn how to go after them or if they need to learn

how to chill out and slow down and actually take breaks. Those are very different clients

with very different problems and a lot of coaching tools are really focused on people

who maybe need more help setting and achieving goals, taking responsibility for their lives

and they are not really as suitable for people who already take too much responsibility
