Welcome to Unfuck Your Brain, the only podcast that teaches you how to use psychology, feminism

and coaching to rewire your brain and get what you want in life.

And now here's your host, Harvard Law School grad, feminist rock star, and master coach,

Carla Lohanthial.

Hello, my chaguns.

I am super excited for this conversation today.

We are going to be talking to the incredible Dr. Marissa G. Franco.

Don't get her confused with the other Dr. Marissa Franco.

This is the OG that we have here.

And we're going to be talking about an area that I think does not get enough attention.

So I'm super excited that she's bringing all of this attention to it and where not surprisingly

your mindset impacts how you show up quite a bit and that is friendship.

So I would love Dr. Franco if you would tell us a little bit about yourself and tell us

about the exciting news that you just got right before we got on this.

Yes, yes.

So I am a professor, a psychologist, a speaker, an author of the book, Platonic, how the

science of attachment can help you make and keep friends, which as of yesterday has become

a New York kind of facility.

I wish you had like sound effects like a shock jock so I could like do a drum roll or

like confetti coming out.

So exciting.

Thank you.
