| 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. Today we are doing a kind of a Q&A. I'm going to be answering some questions |
| 0:35.6 | that I've gotten on social media lately. Some of them are about coaching in general, the |
| 0:42.1 | kind of practice of coaching, questions in coaching. Some of them are about coaching |
| 0:46.5 | businesses. Some of them are about kind of entrepreneurship in general. So there's |
| 0:51.2 | really something for everyone, just kind of an overall Q&A, but particularly with questions |
| 0:56.6 | from coaches, it's kind of the majority, but by no means the totality. Okay, first question |
| 1:03.5 | that I got is what is the question that you love to ask during a coaching session with |

| 1:33.2 | you need to go in a coaching session. It really is such a deep, all-purpose question because |

| 1:44.1 | about my boss and then you say why? And then they say, well, because my boss is just, |
| 1:50.2 | I think that they're disrespectful. And then you just say why? And then they tell you |
| 1:55.2 | what the circumstances are. And then they say, and that's a problem. And then you say, |
| 1:59.7 | why? So really why is the all-purpose workhorse of coaching sessions? So I do love that |
| 2:07.7 | question. Everybody asks that question. That is my favorite. And then there's so many |
