Summary
Are you catastrophizing about current events and feeling paralyzed by fear and uncertainty? It’s easy to get caught up in the echo chamber of social media and the news, leaving you feeling disempowered and overwhelmed. But what if you could learn to hold belief in the world you want to see, even when the evidence isn’t there yet?
In this bonus episode, I explore some of the common thought errors that arise during challenging times. From the idea that we have to be freaking out to prove we care, to the belief that self-coaching isn’t relevant to larger societal issues, these thought patterns can keep you stuck and unable to take meaningful action. I offer shifts that I have seen to be helpful for both myself and my students in cultivating the mental fortitude we need to keep showing up for the world we believe in.

| 0:00.0 | All right, my friends, it has been quite a week. |
| 0:02.5 | And I have been doing a lot of coaching of my clients, of my students, of my followers, |
| 0:08.5 | in the comments on Instagram, everywhere. |
| 0:11.5 | And what I want to do with this bonus episode is try to help some of y'all who are really |
| 0:16.2 | in it and really suffering by sharing some of the most common thought errors that I see happening right now |
| 0:22.5 | and the shifts that I want to offer you if you want to use them to feel a little bit differently. |
| 0:29.5 | So let's get into doing that. |
| 0:33.4 | Welcome to unfuck your brain. |
| 0:35.7 | I'm your host Kara Lowentile, master certified coach and founder of the School of New Feminist Thought. |
| 0:42.1 | I'm here to help you turn down your anxiety, turn up your confidence, and create a life on your own terms, one that you're truly excited to live. Let's go. |
| 0:58.7 | All right. So, I feel like I need to give the disclaimer I always give, but it feels very important now that I am in no way telling anyone what they should think or feel. |
| 1:05.6 | That's not my job. That's not my business. I don't know what you should think or feel. |
| 1:09.5 | You have to decide what to think or feel. I don't think there's a right way to think or feel. I don't know what you should think or feel. You have to decide what to think |
| 1:10.8 | or feel. I don't think there's a right way to think or feel. I don't think there's anything wrong with |
| 1:15.5 | having any set of thoughts or feelings that you have about the election or anything else in the world. |
| 1:21.6 | Right. I am all about women's autonomy to think for themselves. So nothing that I'm saying in this episode should be construed as meaning |
| 1:30.2 | that, you know, if you have one of these things that I'm calling a thought error, that's like |
| 1:34.0 | bad and wrong, that you shouldn't have it, that you should think something else, that you shouldn't |
| 1:38.2 | be having your feelings, none of that. I'm not doing any of that, okay? Sometimes that's hard |
| 1:44.0 | to believe because women are so socialized to think that they're doing everything wrong and to think that other people are authorities. |
| 1:50.0 | So you listen to my podcast, you think Ocar is an authority on what I should think. |
| 1:54.0 | And if she says that this is a better thought, then that's the thought I'm supposed to have. |
