Summary
Women are taught that someone else always knows better than we do. Even in areas where women are stereotypically presumed the authority, like running the household, we’re still constantly told that we don’t know what we’re doing! (Think all of the messaging about how we should parent our children or how we’re doing meal prep all wrong.) Tune in to this week’s podcast episode to find out how this socialization plays out in our lives, what is the most important thought work you can do, and how you can start taking back your authority.

| 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, hello, my chickens. I am recording this on a Friday morning. And this afternoon, |
| 0:34.3 | I'm going to be heading to Philadelphia where I'm teaching our last clutch college for |
| 0:39.6 | a while. I love getting to spend a few days in a small group of students where I can see |

| 1:02.4 | about something that I think is underappreciated as the key to transformation. And it's something |
| 1:08.7 | that coaches are often not trained to help facilitate for their clients. And that's why |
| 1:14.2 | it's something that we focus on a ton in the advanced certification in feminist coaching. |
| 1:19.4 | But it's not just for coaches, it's actually super important for clients, students, podcast |

| 1:35.6 | however you're going to participate in coaching or thought work, you're seeking out that |
| 1:41.0 | person because they're an expert, right? So you listen to the podcast because you think |
| 1:46.5 | this woman has some stuff that I want to learn, right? Join the clutch because you think |
| 1:51.0 | like, okay, I want to access the expertise that has been distilled from years of work and |
| 1:57.0 | put into this straightforward process for me to do. I want to benefit from that level |
| 2:03.5 | of expertise and kind of cut out all the trying to figure it out part, right? So that's |
| 2:08.7 | totally true. Like I have some expertise in what I teach. That's why you listen to podcasts, |
