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 Lowenthal.

Hello, my chickens.

How are you guys?

It is early in the morning here, which is not my normal working time, but I'm just having

an opportunity to manage my mind because Khan Ed, which is like the local utility here,

has been tearing up and drilling the street outside my apartment now for weeks.

It seems never ending and finding a time to record the podcast once quiet is a challenge.

So I got up early to do it today.

And of course, I had forgotten that even though they're not working yet, they've installed

like a steel plate that's not fully like bolted to the street.

And so every time a car goes over it, I can hear it go like the thumb, like the thunk.

So it's just so fascinating because I noticed as I was getting ready to record that I was

like starting to feel frustrated every time a car went over the thunk, I was like, oh my

God, I can't believe another car is going over that, which is like a hilarious thought

to have.

Like right, well, I live in Manhattan and there's cars, right?

And I know that thing is there, but my brain still wants to tell me that like something

has gone wrong and this is unacceptable and I actually get angry about it.

It's like the brain's life motto is nothing too small to resist reality.
