| 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. And now here's your |
| 0:19.3 | host, Harvard Law School grad, feminist rock star, and master coach, Carla Lohanthile. |
| 0:28.1 | Hello, my chickens. Today is your chance to see inside the black box of my coaching |
| 0:36.6 | business and working for me and what it is like to both work for me personally, but also |
| 0:42.8 | just to work in a business where coaching is so integral to the way that business is |
| 0:49.2 | done and employees are sort of guided and mentored and managed and feedback is given. |

| 2:01.2 | all the logistics and execution and coordination and managing employees while I focus on that |
| 2:07.9 | big picture and that big vision. So if you are someone who thinks that sounds like fun |
