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,

Tara, Lowenthal.

Hello, my chickens.

How are you?

I am settled into the place that I will be staying for the summer, and I am looking out at

a burbling creek and a pine tree because that's the only tree that has leaves on it here.

And I'm pretending that it is warmer than 50 degrees outside because it just really

should be by now.

That's my firm belief, but nature is not following my manual, which is so rude.

People don't follow our manuals and the nature, the viruses and the government, no one

will just do what we know they just really should do.

And things just won't be how they should be.

It would make everything so much easier if the world would follow our manual for it.

This is not an episode about the manual itself because I've already talked about that at

length on the podcast, and if you're in the clutch, you know, I'm coaching you all

all the time on your manuals for other people in the world.

But I was thinking about that because I do think today's topic is kind of related to

our manuals because it's about how we react to and make sense of when something or someone

doesn't work out the way we think it should.

We don't like what has happened.
