“Nobody else is coming to save us from those voices in our head– We have to change them.” – Kara Lowentheil
Intro
My amazing guest this week is Kara Loewentheil, a feminist lawyer-turned-life coach. She’s 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 the messages we absorb from society at a young age, how they shape our thoughts, and how we can slowly replace those thoughts with less crappy ones.
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. As Kara says: You can’t hate yourself into liking yourself!
If this episode resonates with you, don’t forget to preorder her book, Take Back Your Brain, releasing May 21!
Highlights:
- 03:40 Why Kara was the right person to write this book and why now is the right time
- 06:30 Kara’s origin story: How she arrived at this work
- 09:30 Why many women are plagued with insecurity
- 12:30 Building your own relationship with aging
- 17:15 What are the two levels of the brain gap, and how can we overcome them?
