Summary

As women, we’ve been conditioned to put ourselves last, and if you hold any marginalized identities, the world piles on even more ways to tell you you’re not enough. But the tools I'm re-sharing this week, radical self-love and exquisite self-care, are your antidote—your way to reject the oppressive systems that want to keep you small and doubting your worth.

I'm breaking down what radical self-love and exquisite self-care actually mean, why they’re deeply political acts, and how they expose the hidden, harmful beliefs you’ve been carrying. We’ll tackle the thought patterns standing between you and the self-love you deserve—and I’ll show you how to start practicing it in a way that feels radical and real.

0:00.0	Welcome back to our greatest hits series, where I occasionally like to reintroduce you to one of the
0:06.6	greatest hits of the podcast. Truth is, after doing this for so many years and having hundreds
0:12.1	and hundreds of episodes, there are a lot of great episodes that newer listeners haven't heard at all,
0:17.3	or that longtime listeners could stand to go back and revisit. Each of these podcasts are
0:23.3	some of my favorite, most impactful, most insightful podcasts, and they are definitely ones that
0:29.1	keep giving you new things to learn and think about, the more often you listen to them.
0:34.3	So even if you've heard this episode before, I really encourage you to listen again.
0:38.3	You will pick up new things. Your brain will synthesize it differently. And if you haven't heard
0:42.2	this episode yet, then you are in for a treat. Welcome to unfuck your brain. I'm your host
0:49.5	Kara Lowenthal, master certified coach and founder of the School of New Feminist Thub.
0:55.2	I'm here to help you turn down your anxiety, turn up your confidence, and create a life on
1:00.7	your own terms, one that you're truly excited to live.
1:04.6	Let's go.
1:07.9	Hello, my chickens.
1:09.6	How are you?
1:32.0	I am amazing. I always say that because it's always true. But here's why it's always true. I was just coaching one of my clients about this last week. And I was saying to her that our evaluation of our own mental or emotional state is an optional thought.
1:41.2	How we choose to categorize or characterize or describe our own mental and emotional state,
1:46.9	that description is not objective. It's not a circumstance. It's an optional thought. So I might have a day filled with negative thoughts and emotions. But during the day and at the
1:53.5	end of the day, I can choose whether to call that a bad day or just an average day or an awesome day. See what I mean? I get to decide what to think
2:06.2	about my own experience and my own thoughts and feelings. It's not just true that a day when you
2:13.2	have negative thoughts and feelings is a bad day. Like, that's not objective. That's a decision to
2:20.2	describe it that way. That bad means I had negative thoughts and feelings. What if when you have
