Summary
Do you believe that if you just got that new job title, got married, or achieved any other fill-in-the-blank-accomplishment, you’d be happy and confident? And then do you create unrealistic plans to achieve that goal and abandon them entirely when you inevitably stumble in the execution? Tune into this Greatest Hits episode to learn how your perfectionist fantasies are holding you back - and how to build integrity with yourself (and accomplish your goals) by letting them go.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Unfuck Your Brain, the only podcast that teaches you how to use psychology, feminism |
| 0:13.8 | and coaching to rewire your brain and get what you want in life. |
| 0:18.6 | And now here's your host, Harvard Law School grad, feminist rock star, and master coach, |
| 0:24.7 | Tara Lowenthal. Hello, my chickens. So the episodes that I did around the turn of the |
| 0:36.4 | year about how to make resolutions and impossible goals have brought up so many good questions |
| 0:44.2 | and insights. And one of the things that has really become clear to me is that there's |

| 1:54.8 | brain. Even if I listened to it last week, my brain has changed and now I'm able to |
| 2:01.7 | see and appreciate it on a deeper level. I get asked all the time, what do I think |
| 2:06.3 | are the best episodes of the podcast or the most important ones are the best place to |
| 2:11.6 | start or all different things. And I think that this episode along with a few more that |
