Summary
Is there an alternate version of your life that you fantasized about having, that you didn’t get to experience?

Tune in to this week’s episode to find out what I mean by grieving a life you won’t live, how to do it, and why feeling regret doesn’t mean you made the wrong decision.

| 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. |
| 0:27.2 | Hello, my chickens. How are you? I just got back from a trip to Europe, which was awesome. |
| 0:34.3 | If you listen to podcasts, you know that we were in Morocco in February and that the entire trip |
| 0:39.9 | my nervous system was just in like intense freighter flight. So it was a nice time trip where I actually |
| 0:46.2 | relaxed and I had fun. And the gentleman concert and I went to Madrid first and one of my favorite |
| 0:54.5 | things when I travel is just to like see how different people's thoughts are in different places. |
| 0:59.7 | And sometimes it's so funny. So we had a great tour of the Prado Museum and we had an amazing |
| 1:06.0 | guy. She's an art historian. She's super knowledgeable. It's really interesting. But as we were going |

| 1:30.4 | are we just going to be here for hours like what's happening. And then she like speed walked us |
| 1:36.4 | through a hundred to 200 years of art history because according to her, it had happened under |
| 1:43.4 | the bourbon kings, which is a French dynasty. And so she felt it was not important. Right, it was like |
| 1:49.2 | her thought about the art history of Spain was all this stuff is important until the French |
| 1:54.5 | kings come. Then it's boring court art and who cares. And now we'll go to go. But I mean, |
| 1:59.0 | if you went to France, you'd be hearing all that incredible that period of artwork was right, |
| 2:02.9 | it's just such a beautiful example of like people's brains. And one of the things that the gentleman |
| 2:08.0 | concert and I were talking about while we were there was the idea of like retiring is in quotation |
