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, I am recording this just as we are getting ready for a snow storm here

on the east coast as the first one of the season.

And I love snowstorms because I think they're an excuse to get all cozy in place if you can

stay inside.

And pre-pandemic that felt like such a departure from everybody's normal scurrying around,

but even now that I've always worked from home since I had a coaching business and now

I don't go anywhere, either there's still something soothing about a quiet white landscape.

Also, I'm hoping that maybe it'll mean that they stop running a bus saw in the courtyard

of my building, which would also be nice.

So right before I started recording this, I got a text from a friend that used the phrase

making the best of things.

And I have been mulling over it because that phrase sounds kind of positive.

When you think about it, it sort of assumes that things are not already the best.

It's like a silver lining thought.

Like, oh, here's this pile of shit and I guess I'll try to make a little shit sculpture

out of it or something.

I just think it's fascinating to think about the way we feel entitled for everything

to just be the way we want it.
