Summary
In this episode, I’m outlining my beliefs on internalized biases. We all have them, whether we’re conscious of them or not, as we live in a society where people have explicitly or implicitly taught us certain biases. It can be difficult to accept the thoughts we deem to be wrong or ugly that we’ve internalized about ourselves or others, but rejecting them is far from useful.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Unfuck Your Brain. The only podcast that teaches you how to use psychology, feminism |
| 0:13.8 | and coaching to rewire your brain and get what you want in life. And now here's your |
| 0:19.3 | host, Harvard Law School grad, feminist rock star and master coach, Carla Lohan-Thyle. |
| 0:31.3 | Hello my chickens. How are you guys, our girls, or people who don't identify as either one, |
| 0:37.3 | or people who identify as chickens? So now that we have a hundred episodes under our belt, |
| 0:43.0 | that would be our collective belt, I guess I actually don't own any belts. If you follow me on |
| 0:48.0 | social media, if you follow me on Instagram, which by the way you should, because I post random |
| 0:52.5 | little teachings and obviously pictures of my cat and various other things that I think are useful. |
| 0:59.5 | It's just my name on Instagram. There's only one of me at Carla Lohan-Thyle. Anyway, if you |
| 1:03.4 | follow me there, you see a lot of pictures of me and you will see that I am basically never wearing |
| 1:08.1 | pants. I have a couple of pairs of leggings and I wear pants to work out and that is it. All |
| 1:13.7 | dresses all the time. So I don't have any belts. But still, got a hundred episodes of Unfuck your |
| 1:19.0 | brain out there. I kind of feel like we're at a new level. So last week, one of the things I talked |
| 1:23.7 | about on the podcast was the human ecosystem, which by the way, if you haven't listened to that one, |
| 1:29.2 | you should because Loddial seemed to love it. I got a lot of feedback about it. So if you skipped |
| 1:36.5 | it, it seems like it was a good one. I mean, I thought it was a good one, but judging by everybody |
| 1:42.6 | else's reactions, sometimes I record things I think are brilliant and you guys are like, meh, whatever. |
| 1:49.2 | I just like to think you don't quite see the brilliance yet. Anyway, one of the things I talked about |
| 1:53.9 | on that podcast was learning to love yourself exactly the way you are now before you finish all |
| 2:00.2 | yourself improvement projects, before you become a mind management ninja writer, whatever you're |
| 2:06.0 | trying to do. And I talk about this paradox on the podcast all the time that you have to love |
| 2:11.5 | something before you try to change it. Not because it makes you a better person, just efficiency-wise. |
