| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Unfuck Your Brain. The only podcast that teaches you how to use psychology, feminism, |
| 0:14.0 | 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. |
| 0:26.3 | Hello, my chickens. So often I really plan my podcast out ahead of time, of course, but I am |
| 0:36.1 | actually recording this one just spur of the moment because I feel so compelled to share |
| 0:41.8 | this with you. So I just watched the Netflix movie Don't Look Up, which is meant to be |
| 0:47.6 | satire, more or less, was like an amazing star study cast. I was just weeping at the end. And |

| 2:07.8 | know our decisions. We don't even realize that in the moment we're deciding whether to offer |
| 2:15.8 | something to someone, whether to connect with someone, whether to choose love, whether to choose |
| 2:21.2 | forgiveness, whether to give someone the benefit of the doubt, whether to turn towards them or |
| 2:27.2 | away from them or decisions with our own selves, whether to turn towards what we truly want and |
| 2:33.1 | believe or away from it and you know, turn our face towards the a lose or the approval of other |
