Summary
Why is it so hard for us to believe that we’re the authority? It’s because as women, we were socialized to think that way (shocking, right?) — to feel like we’re not quite adults and we’re just faking it till we make it. In this special podcast episode, you’ll hear an interview I did with Sarah Nicole on The Papaya Podcast. We’ll discuss how our socialization affects why we don’t see ourselves as adults, how women are taught to believe that our value fluctuates, and the conflict and tension inherent in being a working mom.

| 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. So here's my question. Have you ever looked around and just kind of thought, |
| 0:33.6 | like, and I'm really in charge of what's going on here? I'm an adult now. I just do things on my |
| 0:40.1 | own. I have this weird feeling every time I rent a car where like all of a sudden I feel like I'm |
| 0:44.8 | 17 or something and I'm like, they're just going to give me a car, which makes no sense because I |
| 0:50.2 | could literally walk into a dealership and buy a car at any time. But there's just something about |
| 0:56.0 | that like, oh, okay, I'm in charge here feeling that I think potentially something that women |
| 1:01.1 | experience more than men because of our socialization. That is something that I talked about and |
| 1:05.6 | you're going to hear in this episode that I'm talking about on the papaya podcast. So if those |
| 1:11.5 | of you don't listen to the papaya podcast, you will not have heard this conversation. And it was so |
| 1:16.4 | juicy that I wanted to share it with you. We talk about not only that sort of like, wait, I'm |
| 1:21.1 | the adult here, but we talk about the sort of beliefs women are fed and taught that our value |
| 1:26.6 | fluctuates. We talk a lot about being a working mom and the conflict inherent in that and the |
| 1:33.2 | tension that women experience. I actually coach Sarah, the host of the papaya podcast through some |
| 1:39.2 | kind of mom guilt that's coming up for her on the episode. So we really dig into a lot of, |
| 1:47.7 | I think core issues that touch on so much of what we talk about on this podcast. And it was such |
| 1:52.2 | a rich conversation that I really wanted to make sure that you all heard it. So without further |
| 1:57.5 | ado, here is my conversation with Sarah from the papaya podcast. And I hope that you enjoy it as |
| 2:03.8 | much as I did. And I think she did recording it. We are finally sitting down together today to |
| 2:11.4 | have a conversation about unbucking your brain. And this one felt really different for me. You |
