Summary

The problem with most resolutions is that they hinge on the idea that when the clocks roll over to the new year, you will become an entirely new person. In this episode, Caroline Dooner of The F*ck It Podcast will join me to discuss how to establish REALISTIC, achievable intentions or resolutions for the New Year, so that you can create the mental infrastructure to make real, lasting change in your life (but only if you want to - we’ll also cover why the premise that you need to change at all is a flawed one!). Before you sit down to write your 2022 New Year’s resolutions, listen to this episode!

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. And now here's your

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

0:28.1

Hello, my chickens. How are you all doing with this end of your madness? We are experiencing

0:36.5

madness on the inside, madness on the outside. So obviously New Year's is in some ways.

0:45.0

It's like the time that the rest of the world is briefly into self development in terms

of setting resolutions. But of course, if you don't know about the brain and you don't

0:57.0

know about coaching, then those resolutions are often just big old sheds, right? They're

1:03.4

just ways that we think we should be or things that we think we should do in order to

1:10.8

feel good about ourselves. And so over the years, I've done a few episodes on New Year's

1:16.3

resolutions. And that's why we are sharing some of them here today that appeared on other

1:21.6

podcasts so that are brand new to this podcast, but conversations that I had on other podcasts

1:27.9

all about what goes wrong when we set New Year's resolutions. And in particular, I love

1:34.0

this interview that we are releasing today for the first time on this podcast with the

1:38.6

author of the Fuckett Diet Carolyn Duner. The Fuckett Diet is a book that I completely

1:44.4

recommend to anybody who is trying to deprogram themselves from diet mentality. It's one

1:50.0

of the kind of couple of core books that I give my coaches and my advanced certification

1:55.8

and feminist coaching program. Before they start, I send them a couple of books that are

2:00.0

kind of foundational like the hooks and I woman and like the Fuckett Diet. And then we

2:05.8

have a couple of others too. But point is, the Fuckett Diet is a amazing resource for

2:11.7

those of you who are trying to question diet culture. And I think that's so relevant
