My amazing guest this week is Kara Loewentheil, a feminist lawyer-turned-life coach who is here to tell us how a sexist society gets in our heads and how to get it out with her new book, Take Back Your Brain.

We talk about everything from the messages we absorb from society at a young age and how it shapes our thoughts to how we can slowly change those thoughts to something slightly less crappy.

If you're a high-achieving woman who feels like you need to do it all and be everything to everyone, this episode is for you, because as Kara says, you can't hate yourself into liking yourself!

About Kara Loewentheil
Kara Loewentheil, J.D., Master Certified Life Coach, is the Founder of The School of New Feminist Thought and creator of The Feminist Self Help Society, host of the internationally top-ranked podcast UnF*ck Your Brain, and author of Take Back Your Brain, forthcoming from Penguin Life May 2024.

A graduate of Yale College and Harvard Law School, she did what every Ivy League feminist lawyer should do: Quit a prestigious academic career to become a life coach! (Her Jewish parents have almost recovered.) But the risk paid off. Her podcast, UnF*ck Your Brain, which combines evolutionary biology, cognitive psychology, and feminist theory in concrete and practical teachings and tools, has more than 40 million downloads and has been featured in publications like the New York Times, Elle UK, Refinery 29, and Glamour.

Kara specializes in teaching a step-by-step system that identifies and removes internalized oppression and creates new and unshakeable self-
confidence.
