Make Some Noise with Andrea Owen Episode 297: How to Unf*ck Your Brain with Kara Loewentheil
This week’s guest is going to knock your socks off, y’all. Kara Loewentheil is Master Certified Coach who has pivoted her law career into a life coaching business, using her background in feminism theory to help women get the patriarchy out of their brains. Kara is also the host of the podcast, Unf*ck Your Brain and simply a stunning individual.
In today’s episode we talk all about the social messaging we receive as women and how this messaging plays into our own self-critical thoughts. Kara also talks about the work she does with women to undo the process and help them to think about themselves the way they want to. I’ve been looking forward to introducing you to Kara and I hope you enjoy our conversation.
In this episode you’ll hear:
- The reason women’s inner critic or not feeling good is a direct result of the patriarchy (6:00)
- You can’t suddenly be nicer to yourself (aka inner critic work) (10:30)
- How Kara addresses thought work and those who have experienced trauma and why thought work is so personal (14:56)
- “Believing harder” when it comes to self-confidence and overcoming insecurity (19:50)
- There’s a disconnect between women taking action to get the things they really want and what is keeping them stuck (25:10)
- Beauty standards, diet culture and Kara’s commentary about it all (31:19)
