Summary
Most coaching training teaches that all coaching tools apply to everyone the same. That coaching is black and white. But when you’re aware of different lived experiences, different identities and systems of oppression in the world? And you understand how to navigate those with your clients in ways that help them feel empowered? That’s coaching in technicolor.
Listen to this week’s podcast episode to learn more about my intersectional approach to coaching, why I think intersectionality in coaching is so important, and how you can learn my framework to bring this work into your own coaching practice.

| 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. How are we all doing here in August? I cannot believe that it's been |
| 0:35.0 | August. I don't understand how time works, which, you know, to be fair, many physicists |
| 0:41.7 | on a deep level, none of us would say none of us really understand how time works. So I |
| 0:46.3 | want to talk to you guys today about a really good question that I got asked recently. |
| 0:52.5 | And it made me realize that I had kind of never fully shared my like philosophy of coaching |
| 1:00.6 | with all of you. I mean, I have obviously shared many of my perspectives on coaching |
| 1:05.7 | and my thoughts about coaching. There are so many episodes of this podcast. It's kind |
| 1:10.6 | of unbelievable to think that I have been doing this podcast for five years now. And we've |
| 1:15.5 | put out an episode every week and sometimes bonus episodes too. So it's kind of mind blowing. |
| 1:21.8 | But, you know, obviously as I have developed my own work and been coaching and teaching |

| 1:33.0 | built out and fleshed out and developed and created my own coaching framework right |
| 1:38.2 | my own intellectual endeavor, like my own body of work. And so today what I want to do is |
| 1:45.6 | kind of explain to you what that is and why I think it's so important to understand how |
| 1:53.8 | to coach from this perspective. So I often call myself a feminist mindset coach and I think |
| 1:59.1 | I am a feminist mindset coach. But the kind of coaching framework that I have developed |
| 2:03.8 | is something that I call intersectional coaching. So I owe a huge debt in this work to Kimberly |
| 2:10.8 | Crenshaw, who is a incredible academic law professor, thinker, thought leader genius of |
| 2:20.1 | our time, who coined the term and the concept of intersectionality. And she uses that term |
