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

0:19.3

host, Harvard Law School grad, feminist rock star, and master coach, Carla Lohanthile.

So my chickens, how are you? I have been thinking about all of you. I am really loving doing

0:38.1

these interviews. I've been doing lately where you get to hear kind of all different perspectives

1:54.0

goals. And this specifically relates to goals that have to do with habit formation. So I
