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 Lohan-Thyle.
0:31.0	Hello chickens, time for another installment of Listener Questions and Answers. I have some
0:37.1	great Wednesday. I think you're going to really help you guys understand how to apply the teachings.
0:42.4	So let's just jump in. No reason to delay. Hi, Cara. I'm in the midst of overwhelm right now.
