| 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. |
| 0:26.3 | Hello, my chicken. So this is one of the only times I've ever had to have a second round |
| 0:33.4 | for podcasts because Molly and I are trying to do this podcast originally. And we just, |
| 0:38.9 | like, we had a great conversation about me just very quickly devolved and not devolved, |
| 0:43.7 | but evolved maybe into asking, like, like, everything's made up and nothing is real. |
| 0:48.2 | I'm like, what are thoughts even? And what is a brain? And I was like, we got to call |
