Summary

Do you tend to put your self-development teachers on a pedestal, taking their words as absolute truth and feeling super stressed out if you ever disagree or anyone suggests they might be wrong?

You’re not alone. Most people who are drawn to self-development are looking for The Answer To Everything. But the truth is, we’re all trying to make sense of this strange experience of being a human - and the more you defer to others as an authority in your own life, the less you are able to take ownership of your experience of the world.

In this episode, you will learn how to relate to YOURSELF as the ultimate authority - and why doing so will impact everything in your life.

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, Carla Lohanthile.

0:26.3

Hello, my chickens. There's a way in which I think today's episode could be the most important

0:33.7

episode I've ever recorded, even though it's kind of not about anything in particular,

0:40.2

but it is about everything at the same time. How's that for a sales bitch? I'm a good sales

0:46.1

person. So we were having this conversation recently. Inside the clutch Facebook groups,

0:52.5

it clutches my feminist coaching program. And as part of that, we have a Facebook group

0:57.6

for kind of community and discussions, you know, separate from our amazing kind of membership

1:02.3

site where all the lessons and the audios and workbooks and stuff are. So we have the

1:05.8

Facebook group for kind of community discussion. And, you know, even though obviously everyone

1:10.0

is there to discuss thought work and what I'm teaching and their own self coaching, they're

1:14.3

working through and to get support, there's a real variety of opinions, of course, right,

1:19.5

about the world and everything in it. And there is this one particular conversation that

was going on that was so interesting to me where, you know, some people were saying, like,

1:29.2

yes, the model explains everything in this way. And then the kind of coaching model that

1:34.2

I teach and then some people were like, really, it's like trauma that explains everything

1:38.8

and then other people were like, no, it's this thing that explains everything. And then

1:44.1

there were sort of people saying, like, why, I hope it's okay to say that, like, I have

1:47.7

this question, I'm not sure I agree with this. And it was just such a, like, interesting
