Summary
A lot of people want to become entrepreneurs to enjoy the freedom that comes with being able to call your own shots. But at the first hint of any of entrepreneurship’s hallmark instability, they usually take it to mean they’re doing it wrong. This inherent brain error of only fantasizing about the positive and rejecting the negative is one I see play out time and time again in all facets of life.
Listen to this week’s podcast episode to learn about the inherent brain error and how it can hold you back, and the incredible difference it can make when you accept the full experience of whatever you choose.

| 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. How are you? I am hot. I don't mean aesthetically, although also that way, |
| 0:36.4 | it's just really full on New York summer now when it is hot. And I love that it doesn't feel |
| 0:43.0 | like it's about summer. So I think I am consistent about summer because I'm just not a big fan of it |
| 0:47.8 | overall. I mean, I like it being late at night, light late at night. There we go. It's a tongue twister. |
| 0:53.2 | But other than that, like I could do without the heat, the humidity, the smell, like the sweating, |
| 1:00.9 | all of it. Just not a big fan. But I see a lot of people around me who love parts of summer. |
| 1:07.0 | They love that it's hot. I had an ex who loved being hot. I was like so mystified. |
| 1:12.8 | They love the long days. They love the heat. But then they don't like the mosquitoes and they don't |
| 1:20.0 | like the way the garbage smells in New York in summer. Or they love the long nights, but they |
| 1:25.1 | don't like the heat or they whatever it is. And this is sort of a superficial example of something |
| 1:31.7 | that I want to talk about on a really deep level with you all. And it's what I call the |
| 1:36.1 | internal contradiction error. And this is a name I made up. And you know what? It's not that snappy. |
| 1:42.9 | I could have done a better job, but I'm really supposed to be on vacation right now. So my brain |
| 1:47.7 | is pretty tired. But here's what I mean by the internal contradiction error. And I have had |
| 1:53.6 | this come up most recently in coaching around business. And so I'm going to talk about this in |
| 1:58.5 | the context of entrepreneurship. But whoever you are, 100% I guarantee you're doing this in some |
| 2:04.9 | area of your life. And so I, you know, just listen and apply it to wherever you can see you're doing |
| 2:11.8 | this. So the internal contradiction error is when we want to do a thing or be a kind of person. |
| 2:19.7 | But we want the experience to be a way that is completely contradictory to the thing that we |
