my brain works and how new
1:06
neural patterns form and the
1:08
ways in which you know the body
1:10
and the mind can work similarly
1:12
and in i think sometimes saw
1:14
work is understood as being entirely cognitive
1:16
which is normally to keith even not called thoughtworks
1:19
least not the way that we teach
1:20
i'm proud to sit around here really is about the mind
1:22
body experience taken together and
1:25
the way that

3:43
angry because the now that as many
3:45
jerk reaction when as

i feel like they're injustices but the guess
3:49
we had on today is
3:51
so enlightening and so
3:53
him poor in and she
3:56
is just like a specialist
3:58
in all of this things that
4:01
make women women and make a
4:04
wire our brain and it's like
4:06
item now and wow how did you feel it is you
4:08

4:11
these conversations with women because
4:13
number one sitting in a room with incredibly
4:15
smart women is over on firings
4:17
me and i guess today is absolutely
4:20
brilliant and having just thought provoking
4:22
conversations about confidence
4:25
and women and how we can have
4:27
actionable changes to just leaving
4:29
our best lives gas
4:32
is something that like i just live for
4:35
in she is brilliant
4:37
so her name is cora low
4:39
and tall yeah and she
4:42
is from the podcast on fuck
4:44
your brain scan the creator
4:46
of the reflects our our lives
4:50
and like your brain com i'm
4:52
like she's brilliant see
4:55
i'm went to yale
4:57
and harvard law school and
4:59
was actual is left her
5:01
job as job as to
5:04
be com a life coach and to see
5:06
she's brilliant that's an understatement
5:08
why she dies is
5:11
she basically like host of coaching
5:12
community that a feminist am
5:15
still and
5:16
the revolution it's to help
5:19
women over com insecurity anxiety
5:22
imposter syndrome people
5:24
pleasing and their
5:26
dependence on external validation
5:29
and i think that those are things that are so ingrained
5:32
in so many of us and
5:35
just a recognition that
5:37
week
5:37
then teams are thing that
5:39
we can adjust
5:40
that we don't have to live under
5:43
those constraints
5:44
mind blowing and see as
5:47
the woman to do
5:48
yeah i mean we can't talk about
5:51
confidence without bringing her on we
5:53
can't even talk about rewiring
5:55
some thoughts in our brains without
5:58
bringing her on i think it's so our
6:00
in one way for you guys listen so empowering to
6:02
know that you hold the keys to rewiring your
6:04
brain so have little
6:06
we are so excited to have
6:08
you on and marino jump right into it
6:10
to you when from ivy school lawyer
6:13
she the leader of a feminist revolution through
6:15
your brand in business tell us how this
6:17
happened in what drew you to now be
6:20
your life's work
6:21
like i'm the leader the feminists are listen
6:24
to get like the new either like a new
6:26
feminist revolution and anybody
6:28
is listening ah feminists i don't
6:31
have seen the angry keep listening in
6:33
i teach you the new semitism is
6:35
so i
6:37
would have been a lifelong
6:39
that i've been a professional feminists my whole life and
6:41
one way the other when i went to law school
6:43
in order to do repressive rights
6:45
and women's health rates work so i was
6:47
a litigator meaning i am basically
6:50
you know when
6:51
the did legal work to protect
6:53
women's right to access reproductive
6:55
health
6:55
hair and then i
6:58
am became academic and i said of
7:00
watch more on ideas and theories
7:02
around those legal
7:03
and then i
7:05
you know the
7:06
normal theft and that evolution towards
7:08
law professor is you make a hard right turn
7:10
right before the law professor part a become a life
7:12
coach
7:12
that so that's what
7:14
i dance and
7:15
my jewish parents are almost are covered
7:18
six years later and so then i
7:20
became i became but for me it
7:22
really is a continuation of the same work
7:24
i have always been focused on empowering
7:27
women to have control of their own lives
7:29
and their own destiny is and i still wholeheartedly
7:32
believe that requires be able to have controlled
7:34
their physical lives and their physical destiny
7:36
and deciding you know when and whether and
7:39
how to bear children a second
7:40
if you
7:41
it more i now more work on
7:43
how to help women empower themselves
7:46
mentally
7:47
the an eye out and that's why i call kind
7:49
of the new feminist revolution big
7:51
of i think
7:52
you know we have the existing so
7:55
guess i'm like all the things
7:57
know that need to change i do think things in the world
7:59
need to change
7:59
but
8:00
now able we don't change
8:02
the way we've been taught to think
8:04
about ourselves it as a matter
8:06
what
8:07
the in the outside world rates of week
8:09
him if we like
8:10
the place every politician
8:12
the ceo and whatever may
8:14
with people from any marginalize
8:16
a down a nice women people of color
8:18
disabled people whatever he is a
8:20
thought processes that we learn about ourselves
8:23
haven't changed we would just be
8:25
in those positions the outing ourselves
8:27
criticizing are cel thinking we're not be authority
8:29
thinking we need we don't know what to do
8:32
and so to me that have new
8:34
feminism is the
8:36
thought process the internal liberation it's
8:38
not replacing the social stuff we need both
8:41
but we need both we can just focus
8:43
on changing had of outside world
8:45
that's how i ended up here
8:47
man first i just wanna thank
8:49
you for the work you've done with women's
8:51
reproductive rights personally i want to thank
8:54
you and i also just
8:56
wanna say how insightful i think that that
8:59
the idea is and
9:01
i remember i'm a former history teacher
9:03
and i remember sitting my high
9:06
school students down and asking them
9:08
to raise their hand if they consider them as the feminist
9:10
and they had almost no hands raised
9:13
and then giving then definition of
9:15
what of what is insane why
9:17
isn't everyone's hands raised and you're exactly
9:19
right that the com any answer
9:21
was what i'm angry i don't want to be
9:24
mad at man i don't want to i don't see
9:26
anybody nathalia and as
9:28
he says
9:31
mega family the marketing
9:33
problem which i
9:34
if i could do you like being able
9:36
to wear pan
9:37
then about congratulations you
9:39
are a communist you like be
9:41
both have a credit cards without your dad
9:43
having to guarantee
9:44
it congratulations you're a feminist
9:46
drapes like read a fiat and
9:49
explain to be boarded actually need the
9:51
that that internal work that
9:53
you know we need to do before
9:56
nah before as simultaneously
9:58
face it has to be
9:59
the never been time because if you're sitting
10:02
at a classroom high school students ensue
10:04
lot of thirty is a cancer
10:06
themselves feminists i mean we're late we
10:08
have internal things going on that
10:11
me the be adopted sell in
10:13
your coaching your talk about
10:15
women in the need to literally
10:17
like be wire their thought
10:20
after it and their patterns
10:22
to be able to live with what you call authentic
10:25
confident so first
10:27
of all yes
10:29
i'm here for it but before we
10:31
get there i think it's important that people
10:33
can recognize and identify the
10:35
social conditioning that me be like
10:37
currently holding them back he
10:40
cause a scene said it's like
10:42
step one like recognizing herself
10:44
so can you have some of the ladies that
10:46
may be listening identify some
10:48
of these behaviors in themselves
10:50
that would you like commonly what
10:53
are these look like yeah absolutely
10:55
and i'll say like the way that i cheated i cheated of like
10:57
if you're socialize as a woman see
10:59
you may have been such as as a woman and so identifies
11:02
a woman you might be non binary you might
11:04
be a trans woman like what if you've been exposed
11:06
to what when we say socialize like that something
11:09
big word a religious means what is
11:11
you
11:11
learn from society
11:13
about like what your identity
11:15
group is right like what is
11:17
you learn women are like what did you learn men are like
11:20
you also want everybody was one of the other saintly
11:22
thought we were growing up like there wasn't
11:24
an acknowledgement of the gender binary that gender spectrum
11:26
yeah what are you what were you try
11:28
about people car what we talk about disabled people
11:31
are retired us that people like whatever identity
11:33
you live and you just or two things
11:35
sometimes explicitly like your parents or teachers
11:37
will just be like these kinds of people are like
11:39
a new and the people are gonna that and
11:41
bad but also you learn it
11:44
implicitly which me
11:45
no one thing it's you but you're like
11:47
looking at the government and being like
11:49
that's not the old white men who aren't
11:51
either that or you are
11:52
like the kindergarten
11:54
after their score all women but then all the administrators
11:56
are all man or and like all of these sort
11:58
of
11:59
this it latin
11:59
we to pick up on without even thinking
12:02
about
12:02
i like
12:04
who is important too smart for
12:06
the leader whose authoritative
12:08
like these are all things we just learned like throughout
12:10
most says just from seeing
12:12
like what's around us right
12:13
which is why like i think
12:15
i got a family that was very focused on
12:17
like my education my achieve man like
12:19
you know nobody was ever saying like
12:22
don't need to go to college just get married
12:24
like that one of them by the my help at all
12:27
but i still live in a world array
12:29
that like has certain
12:31
a t shirt sell in
12:33
terms of how they show up i think was tricky
12:35
about it is because is because of it is
12:37
implicit like it
12:38
not like we got a flyer at school that said
12:40
women are
12:41
you know bad at math and some be in
12:43
charge of thing
12:44
but if the implicit
12:47
we don't recognize it in
12:49
our own mind so i always say that lakes
12:51
if what you hurting your brain with some nineteen
12:53
fifty male announcer
12:54
void being like
12:55
women can't be trusted with money
12:58
then like you would know not to listen to that
13:00
what you hear what you hear is
13:02
is your own voice they think like
13:05
i'm irresponsible money or i should make
13:07
that big of a decision i like maybe i shouldn't
13:09
i don't what i'm supposed to spend the money on our
13:11
money as hard as i don't understand as some zoc
13:13
i think about it because i feel bad
13:15
when i do like it shows up
13:17
sounding like your own voice and you just think
13:19
it's your own true soft about yourself
13:21
and you don't even recognize it
13:23
the thing to look out for are like
13:26
how often are you doubting yourself
13:28
great how often are you thinking that you aren't
13:30
good enough at something can't do something
13:32
aren't smart enough need someone
13:34
else to like validate all your decisions
13:37
how often are you people
13:39
see thing like one of this i think one of the most
13:42
like almost the foundational thing
13:44
women are high that we learn
13:47
about women in our
13:47
variety is that
13:49
i value comes from
13:51
the in service to others like
13:53
helping and serving other people and so
13:55
that make the us
13:58
hyper focused on what everybody
13:59
the about us right and
14:02
that is what the so we have it's like contingent
14:04
confidence meaning like i'm only like so
14:07
good about myself is contingent on like
14:09
there's that we don't you're out of like i just need everyone
14:11
who knows me to tell me that not mad at me every
14:14
half hour for the rest of my life
14:17
it like our conference is so shaky
14:20
because it's like i can only be confident if
14:22
i have heard nothing i've only good things
14:24
about myself and last twenty four hours and i
14:26
think everybody and it was pleased with me and i'm afraid
14:29
of
14:29
the than a minute
14:30
the much different in the mirror or someone
14:33
that sad or wheat whatever them a holding
14:35
call dollars thank you card so waited outside
14:37
and know your confidence isn't
14:40
internal yeah it's still as turn on a pike
14:42
based on the shaky platform up
14:44
on going to collapse at a moment's notice
14:46
wow that honestly that so insightful
14:49
to because there's so many levels of confidence
14:51
right in there so many like process that we
14:53
have to go through where he likes you start
14:55
out by like testing the waters with
14:57
some external confidence and even that
15:00
step is a lot for a lot of
15:02
women were like we haven't even internalize
15:04
they'll him and got that parts just like hanging
15:07
by a thread if everyone thinks we're okay
15:09
or if we're doing o l or if we've gotten a promotion
15:12
or if no one mad at us at that very
15:14
moment like school we can have a sign
15:16
of good and man
15:17
exactly right today i'm allowed to talk
15:19
for thirty seconds
15:21
or you've met like it know for a lot
15:23
of are women their goal weight as i know
15:25
our be confident when i get there are when
15:28
you do get their you like a lot i'm allowed to be
15:30
confident now and it's like
15:32
wait a minute so
15:34
many people climate that doesn't stack
15:37
yeah right because the problem is that you have
15:39
this
15:39
the the like rewiring your
15:40
in your brain is like i'm are
15:42
you know he to if you work out
15:44
like you can do i'd
15:46
deadline
15:46
the certain way six thousand times
15:49
and then think that if you like walk into new
15:51
gym
15:52
nobody's gonna do that dad left at a totally different
15:54
way all the fun just because that's circumstance
15:56
different it's like i learned a pattern in your muscles
15:59
and them you know the more
15:59
we're learning about that
16:00
the body connection if the learn pattern in your
16:02
brain
16:03
like your brain controls your nervous system can charles
16:05
your muscles control like how much weight you put on the
16:07
inside corner of your left quite when you're doing
16:09
the squat like all
16:10
that is wired into your brain
16:13
and so you can like shit
16:15
on your
16:15
all way down here go away
16:17
mme like okay now the magic
16:20
i walked into the new ways and now my
16:22
brain will tommy thompson and thought like
16:24
that's not how that works so you
16:26
get if you get like a rush of excitement
16:29
when you first hit his whatever the thing
16:31
as right it could be like him out you on a bench pressing
16:33
the though yeah you're lifting all i could
16:35

16:37
the time on your mind like whatever it is you'll
16:39

if you have been means yourself all the way
16:49
and you been trying to motivate yourself with self criticism
16:51
and negative self taught that she is
16:53
gonna kick way back in like that so you train
16:56
your brain to do
16:57
yeah i mean we you know we'd have to
16:59
our lady so much about that because you're trying to warn
17:01
them before they get there because we're like you're
17:04
going to get to this place and realize it is not
17:06
what you made it out to be in your mind if
17:08
you're road there is all of these like
17:10
backwards way of like shaming
17:13
and yourself towards confidence
17:15

unquote galway and you're
17:19
going to realize that competence wasn't waiting for you
17:21
there right yeah yeah
17:23
within waiting in this body anywhere
17:26

17:37
it's not like an omelet you can't get one of the stories
17:39
that have a good at home
17:40
perfect
17:42
i greens are next question of like there's and
17:44
multiple studies at the confidence cap space
17:47
going steady so men consistently or
17:49
as me their abilities and performance well women
17:51
consistently underestimates in
17:53
both of these areas despite their performance
17:56
not different lake in quality
17:58
so we're me the buyer
18:00
display is a socialization and
18:02
kind of like how can we unpack
18:04
ourselves yeah i think
18:06
worse worse socialize or we talk about
18:09
wiring like we have to think about what that means
18:11
i think the people who knew that they'll say like
18:13
hardwired meaning like you came out of the womb
18:15
like that right like your be that blue eyes
18:17
and brown hair and insecurity
18:20
actually like
18:21
or socialization wires
18:24
off not in a way that has to be permanent but
18:26
like if you're brave we've all heard
18:28
i think at this point like neurons fire together
18:31
wire together it's just like us for years
18:33
of teaching of way right as i can dissing your body
18:35
do a certain movement a certain way like
18:37
when this com that's that's gotta go back or
18:39
when i injected this muscle i gotta really
18:41
one is wired together
18:43
to like the things go together and so
18:46
all that socialization
18:47
we're not aware of it does kind of wire
18:50
our brains i don't think it's hard wired
18:52
and that way that if we can change at rates this
18:54
is like the fancy word for this is neuroplasticity
18:57
was just means your brain's
18:59
ability to
18:59
yeah you're right time it's like
19:01
it's crazy people used to think not that one
19:03
the guy like you know a few decades ago that sort
19:06
of basically
19:07
once your brain developed as a child like our
19:09
that it couldn't change anymore which makes
19:11
no sense when you think about
19:12
the people learn new things for their whole life
19:14
was transmitted street like okay
19:17
the about like
19:19
them different system or something or
19:22
something that's kind of the good news is like know
19:23
or how long you have been
19:25
thinking in a certain way you can always
19:27
he did i mean i am woman in the
19:30
clutches my clutches my me my
19:32
from the thirties me the who are like seventy
19:34
and fine for work and i like okay
19:36
like
19:37
i want to change that now i'm in a really
19:39
is never too late but it is a process
19:41
like when you think about how many
19:44
times is like if you bad body image
19:46
the you think about like
19:48
how many times have you had the thought
19:51
about like how your some it looks bad like
19:54
i mean you probably think fifteen times a day
19:56
and how long hours and per day
19:58
right
19:59
you do
20:02
anything
20:02
in a year and even doing it for twenty years the like
20:05
it'll , a minute you know like i'm always getting
20:07
my students i like will get to the down there be like
20:09
i just don't believe that now and i'm like yeah
20:12
you just heard it twenty seconds ago and
20:14
you but the he was other thoughts six million times
20:16
the like we're gonna need to practice the
20:18
good news i think like them the part
20:21
that is like part miracle is like don't have
20:23
to think
20:23
it many times as the also afraid to
20:25
start to feel more trip like you don't have the match
20:27
at one for one last
20:34
, as you've been doing an exercise
20:36
wrong for twenty years your form
20:38
been wrong if you figure out a threat
20:41
to be don't have to live
20:41
they do one for one of all the ways you did
20:44
it with iran form before like
20:46
you don't have to do it enough and consistently enough
20:48
until like your dinner all map your brain
20:50
maps and of updates and of like oh
20:53
this is what we're doing now okay this is
20:55
now the easier thing to think
20:57
this is the form of now
20:58
automatic like i've now learned it enough
21:01
that i will just do it by default so you
21:03
have to have you literally have to practice thinking
21:05
different thoughts and listen i'm
21:08
this microwave have some some some go there
21:10
the way like a bigger
21:12
they people make especially
21:14
as they are
21:14
part of any kind of like inspirational community
21:17
i think like coaching people
21:19
fitness be a buddy who likes to be inspired
21:21
heard is that they're trying to
21:23
believe new thoughts that are too far
21:25
from what they currently believe
21:27
there like you see some like contrast
21:29
graphic that like every
21:31
, is an amazing opportunity to
21:34
love myself holy and you're like what
21:36
i want to think and feel birds
21:38
now you have sixty five start
21:41
today they become what a terrible person you
21:43
are set to make it's
21:45
too big that's why we don't go from like trying
21:47
i'm trying to like left to
21:49
to trying to like that by four hundred like
21:51
we know that you don't go
21:53
from like from like never want to i'm
21:55
in a run a marathon you got have any was you doing
21:58
that a practice you don't get up and then
21:59
terrific now so you gotta
22:02
like a really picky thought that are
22:04
and of
22:05
the because i call them like neutral stocks
22:07
for like we'll start a little sad
22:10
like my stomach is disgusting
22:12
okay less suspected thinking this is a human
22:14
stomach
22:15
or like even if i like my stomach today
22:18
a worthy of respect or whatever
22:20
it's like we're
22:21
like well bad practice
22:23
a little thought that a little bit as
22:25
a could feel a little good or just
22:27
as they feel ten percent less bad than get
22:29
enough to like start to rewire the brain
22:32
i think that it's it's really
22:35
it's , hard first of all when
22:37
you see kind of the life
22:39
you want to be living and you say like
22:42
okay let's see that yeah i let's see that right
22:44
now bringing would hit on yeah tomorrow
22:47
and we got and it's like it's it's really
22:49
hard news i think to hear that
22:51
like it's gonna take some time i think that that
22:53
is number one thing that people do not want to hear
22:56
the do not one here can take some time they do not one
22:58
here can take a lot of practice i
23:00
it's it is also a really hope
23:03
fall idea that lake
23:06
you know all of this that has been going
23:08
on for all of these years it
23:11
doesn't have to turn around in one day
23:13
that so much pressure you
23:15
know and like do if it all started
23:17
on c from
23:20
exposure
23:20
exactly and not like is
23:23
a totally paralyzing saw of
23:25
life will how can i go from cool and
23:27
now i literally heat myself
23:30
to like the person who weeks of loving themselves
23:32
everyday i don't see that happening some
23:34
does not even gonna start and
23:36
, think that it's a really hopeful thought that
23:38
we can just like he like ten percent
23:41
not in terror has terrible his
23:43
progress in there as i think the with on
23:45
a i think with the whole recently
23:48
the something to change right away
23:50
the that
23:51
we want what i call like an exit ramp
23:53
also human experience like the
23:55
human experience is that sometimes you feel great
23:57
and the most you feel terrible and sometimes
23:59
israel the medium beautiful and sometimes it feels
24:02
awful and like that is just a mixed
24:04
bag being a human
24:06
we all want to fuck off
24:08
that were like all and where
24:10
do i can be
24:11
yeah and we are
24:14
like where do i get off
24:16
and so when we're in a hurry
24:18
to get someplace to like hit a fitness
24:21
goal to change our body to
24:23
make money to change ourself talk
24:25
even whatever it is more in a rush
24:27
as because we subconsciously thing
24:29
when i get there
24:31
i'm going to be off the exit grade that the exit that's
24:34
how i feel so i always tell people when
24:35
like gripping a goal too tightly
24:37
i'm like i just want you to imagine you have your
24:39
ideal body whatever death rate is your ideal
24:42
body you hit that you may
24:44
be olympics like whatever it is and
24:47
you're in olympic village
24:48
and you're still crabby
24:50
are you like still in a bad mood
24:52
are you still woke up in yeah
24:53
would you feel a mare that dex the next day you're going
24:55
to civil rights and but like whatever it is
24:58
you're trying to get to
24:59
that rush
25:00
because you think of any better there than here
25:03
mit yes i do think life can be
25:05
better find the you on this work i think
25:07
we can be like more empowered we can be happier
25:10
we can create things i blew our minds that we
25:12
didn't know he could
25:13
like anybody who's is super into
25:15
fitness also the
25:16
that that's all great end
25:19
you will still be a human
25:20
it's still going to be like
25:22
we can build our resilience so that it's just a bumpy
25:25
ride as opposed to like it out of control roller coaster
25:27
but the rush comes from the
25:29
fantasy that way to like completely
25:31
get off the right entirely to send just feel
25:33
amazing all the time
25:35
yeah i mean i saw
25:37
i don't know you're the expert and on of this is right
25:39
around that something that i keep reminding myself
25:42
and all of these moments is that they're always
25:44
temporary we're filming something yesterday
25:46
and i was like just having a day or
25:48
i just did not like my face and as
25:51
not going on forever hate it and never
25:53
want me and camera again it's like isis
25:55
into the garage only with i was like i
25:58
don't wanna see my face
25:59
than second rarely done so over
26:02
there and as many the
26:04
, say this whole thing
26:06
i want to see it like since op showing it
26:08
to me with whatever your coronation took
26:10
me out but
26:12
for me as something that something something i i
26:15
i found helpful to kind of keep
26:17
getting back off as being like this
26:19
is temporary don't feel like this
26:21
forever tomorrow would you come
26:23
in and i'll be like someone take a picture
26:26
of me i am super
26:30
helpful to i think there's also like practice
26:32
like
26:33
synthetic impact of when you
26:34
in that space in baghdad am like that
26:36
kimbrough i mean that's what
26:38
meditation teaches you a the it's like know
26:40
thought are feeling as permit it's
26:42
going to come and go and that's true
26:44
but the happy ones to you know it's like i think
26:46
sometimes of america especially where we're very
26:48
like positive an optimistic we try
26:50
to like
26:51
like well as usual t
26:53
from like meditative im negative
26:56
feelings come and go by a happy one can
26:58
always be area blinking now they
27:00
all have our , adolescent
27:08
come and go like know one
27:10
minute you're going to love your partner and they'll be like
27:12
filled with happiness you can't leave your the luckiest person
27:14
the world and five nuclear like if
27:16
you don't subduing like that i'm sending my
27:19
bare hands
27:20
are you
27:21
right and i'm and as
27:23
do you want them again later that it
27:25
so i one hundred percent think that's so important
27:27
like none of this is permanence
27:30
raid none of it is the good or bad
27:33
it is just like a site doing good
27:35
and bad and good and bad forever until you die
27:37
and willing to
27:40
accept that like there was like
27:42
okay don't want to
27:43
that bad and good and bad like
27:44
meeting my first call bligh my own mind about what's
27:46
possible making a million dollars loving myself
27:49
whenever a like it takes all the pressure
27:51
off the goal and you can really enjoy
27:53
the goal for what it is which is just a chance
27:55
to
27:56
your believes well it's possible for you and
27:58
grow and evolve the my what do something
28:01
while we're here are feeling good and bad and good and bad and good and bad
28:04
for the rest of our lives we might as well also
28:06
they'll have impact
28:07
sure as me and were here anyway
28:11
i anyways i wanted the what i can do
28:14
it while i'm here i'm in love
28:16
i love and i do really loved
28:18
the idea of just teaching men's hazaras
28:20
of
28:20
even just like your life like take the
28:23
pressure off of the and realize sky
28:25
just i think okay
28:27
so a lawnmower time lawnmower had
28:29
talked had little bit about his era
28:32
as you mentioned in the beginning barrister and characteristics
28:35
that women tend to displays that the people pleasing
28:38
the other one that i really want isis hit on
28:40
for a second was perfectionism
28:42
speak highs it's i don't
28:44
know if it's the kind of women that we
28:46
could airgroup it's there seems to
28:48
be a real or is it this is where society
28:51
is that right now but like
28:53
oh my god people
28:55
are just struggling so bad
28:58
with women and specific with the fact that
29:00
they are not perfect and i remember
29:03
i had read this study this it a long time
29:05
ago it was acting was acting h p
29:07
are some computer company was
29:09
doing on with studying their
29:11
promotions systems and who
29:14
applied for applied promotion
29:16
he has nice that it it by by generous
29:19
and man would apply for promotion when
29:21
they met about sixty percent i think
29:23
of that
29:24
your mood our the different studies it's like forty
29:26
to sixty percent of the you known as soon as
29:28
we saw when they need forty to sixty percent of
29:30
the christ
29:31
syria and women will cry for a job
29:33
me ninety to one hundred percent of the criteria
29:35
now i was
29:38
coming and this is a job application
29:40
for like the head of
29:42
gm and you know enable
29:45
them both i mean cosa
29:47
nostra yeah i would be like
29:49
i have all the required provocations
29:52
they only have half of the nice
29:54
or bonus one so i'm not apply
29:56
so it didn't surprise
29:58
me at what age
29:59
you know that being said surprise
30:02
you in the way that just meet you
30:04
so angry and me remind you to be able
30:06
to that spezza having to me
30:08
when i read about that now is just late
30:11
it is so much
30:13
of the mentality of i'm gonna wait
30:15
and hell
30:16
that are dot i think that women are try
30:19
manner
30:20
that go out and get what you want make it happen women
30:22
are taught be he'd and someone will reward
30:25
you
30:25
i like where or
30:30
when i get angry this episode i'm
30:34
an any agreement me and i'm sure
30:36
but i'm going to try my best
30:40
wanted of like guess that name of i'm in
30:42
the station of don't like it was and live
30:44
podcast moment the
30:46
wagon that re like
30:48
and so
30:49
of course they're not gonna like women are much
30:51
more likely to like we'd for someone like recognize
30:54
them reward them from oh damn
30:57
right and not go after it and so
30:59
am i guess is a place or it's important to say there's
31:01
both race there's internal myself
31:04
and
31:04
sure about that though there's also said he showing
31:06
women are sometimes penalized when they
31:08
do
31:09
you've got to themselves or after raises are asked
31:11
promotions etc
31:13
we can't have one committee to stop
31:15
there like okay there's some more classes
31:17
were that happen
31:19
there are all the more places without one
31:20
the happen and we all depend
31:22
of the change
31:23
the use of like making this so common
31:25
and normalize that women can't be punished
31:27
for it
31:27
like we can't to throw take
31:30
well
31:30
there is discrimination the i had
31:32
world and make that mean that words of can they give
31:35
up that
31:36
it so and i think that perfectionism
31:38
is yeah i think in for
31:40
sure coaching communities disproportionately for
31:42
exercise i knew numbers are super
31:44
to point out there enjoy email i don't
31:49
, what they're doing dream and minus
31:51
out and sign great about it
31:53
i think that like i see
31:55
women are more likely to be
31:57
perfectionist because women are the ones who are taught
32:00
they're worth and value are
32:02
contingent
32:02
like it brought in here and it's what
32:04
other people think of you
32:06
so you know humans have like a very
32:08
intense
32:09
the desire to belong there's
32:12
like evolutionary biology reasons there's
32:14
whatever and
32:16
if you tell someone there sept in the pan
32:18
new york that it by york's people
32:21
whoever they are depends on
32:24
how good you are and how good you act
32:26
like you're you don't have an inherent worth of value
32:29
it depends a lot of people think of you
32:31
that the recipe for perfection somehow i'll
32:33
see you down
32:34
are you gonna end up with a bunch perfectionist
32:36
because how can you belong
32:38
yeah but it also i mean
32:40
that for sector fascism can become that's
32:42
like that's what people want to be their exit ramp because i'm
32:44
finally just if i do all these things politically
32:47
that i'll finally so good about myself right
32:49
and like that somehow worse because your
32:51
brain can always find some shit you're not doing
32:53
well all the suddenly that like you could you everything you monsieur
32:56
been on be like you should really be
32:58
ukulele player though
32:59
like have replayed ukulele argued
33:01
over you're bad at it like
33:03
you that you have to think about your brain
33:05
like it just runs whatever program you've
33:07
given us
33:09
we actually
33:09
you're making rational negotiated deals
33:11
with our brain like our brain as a like rational
33:14
actor we can negotiate with where your our
33:16
brain
33:16
you did you as my the and i'll give
33:19
you the feel good and we're like okay i
33:21
did i say be like where the feel good and
33:23
nearby and like
33:24
i have no idea of them in that deal with you i dunno
33:26
i didn't have anything to do with that you haven't done it yet let
33:28
me it's like no you can't like
33:30
don't negotiate with terrorists like that's what
33:32
your that's not what's happening
33:34
or brings [unk]
33:35
this running a program so what you
33:36
the brain as if i am i happy
33:39
is mostly because i'm not good
33:40
enough so i gotta get fatter to get happy your
33:42
brain will run that program
33:44
all but
33:46
because it's normal likely to send being
33:48
a human mean some days you wake up and hits your face
33:50
or whatever your brain well just keep running the
33:52
program all the time oh you had an emotion
33:54
you have negative feelings must because you weren't good enough
33:57
here they that be better
33:59
your brain
33:59
it like evaluating the avatar then
34:02
giving you useful feedback it is just running
34:04
whatever program you tata and so
34:07
you can't perfectionist your way
34:09
indifferent go by yourself enough to teens really
34:11
think about
34:12
yeah
34:13
that's really interesting do you have any thoughts
34:15
on how like any actionable steps
34:17
on how we my like site these
34:19
tendencies the i don't try to
34:21
fight them because math language when
34:24
i'm we think about like school we try to
34:26
do is right okay i'm not gonna think the best
34:28
i'm like you know your
34:30
brain is not a carry out that instruction
34:32
especially because it's a calling someone
34:34
calling calm down know that all
34:36
grown oh i didn't think of that logically
34:40
if you tell your brain not to think
34:42
a thought in order to check
34:44
if you're do it is irena the think the thought
34:46
in order to see if you're thinking it or not to you
34:48
if you have to think there's no that doesn't work
34:50
so it's not as
34:52
the wade it's redirect
34:54
the author when we get we get into this like some
34:57
people discover thought worker changing their brain
34:59
and then they just get very like oh my god i
35:01
just started coming later tonight are perfectionists
35:03
exercise was like again you're human
35:06
who can have negative thought them time i
35:08
still have self critical thought them time it's
35:10
okay it's the nigger we're
35:12
not gonna like face them resist them and try to
35:14
like and
35:15
our damn
35:16
in a redirect
35:18
if i give your up if your toddlers
35:20
screaming i literally was just
35:22
gonna say i
35:25
have to an rdf to a situation
35:29
my grandpa how we deal with that other
35:32
screaming screaming grocery store and you
35:34
start screaming and throwing things and trying to sell
35:36
them like the tsunami good
35:37
there isn't any better
35:38
you acted as redirect so i
35:41
have an episode on my podcast
35:42
cobb up my progress is unfair
35:44
in an episode is the thought ladder and
35:47
so
35:47
that like walks you through this is kind
35:49
of process of like how can you find
35:51
a new thought you can believe
35:53
they're like practice that all the time so
35:56
like that's what it is that needs he got a redirect
35:59
a new thought like
35:59
that neural circuit you can
36:02
the be like no no no no no not like
36:04
it
36:04
that's a pet like if if you think about it like a car
36:07
that's driving is is only one path
36:09
the car has to go down the one path like
36:11
the car supposed to go you can't stop
36:13
the car in real life you can stop the car and not i
36:15
doubt amount
36:16
well with your brain cards got
36:18
to go somewhere
36:19
it it only one has that's where it's going
36:21
doesn't matter much you yell know you
36:24
can create a new path
36:25
redirect the car down the new path over
36:27
an armor and then eventually the old one
36:29
gets like grown over with vines and leaves
36:32
and sickest and then the new one is nice and smooth
36:34
and clear that's where your brain goes i want
36:36
that you said a believable thought too because
36:38
i think that that's where a lot of people guess
36:40
like the try to go the opposite way like
36:43
as they hate the face and this article snow on
36:45
the most beautiful thing on earth like
36:48
they have bow we do
36:50
anything yeah
36:52
yeah your brain is just jamming brains
36:54
do not like to do thing
36:56
the from pay off though is very hard to convince
36:58
i mean maybe
36:59
there are people who are able to able to just repeat
37:02
really racial affirmations
37:04
over and over from sheer discipline until
37:06
they
37:06
remember wag i'm not that person
37:09
so finding that
37:11
that you can really believe which is like
37:13
something very neutral on sexual
37:15
or like even just i mean a really powerful
37:17
one off and that works for ever
37:19
the intercept it's possible my brands
37:21
wrong about this like
37:22
the powerful my brain is wrong about my face
37:24
it's possible i give you a suit
37:27
your brain isn't wrong about before move
37:29
along less sure
37:31
it's not rely story now as
37:35
, it is no idea
37:37
what you're talking about it's always been reliable
37:39
it's always told you the truth years
37:41
you say your brain is just total
37:43
martha yeah it's
37:45
, like yeah fighting all the time it's is
37:48
that because i think sometimes that makes people like that
37:50
an an adversarial relationship with every which
37:52
isn't helpful either it's like your minds was
37:54
trying to do what a brain trying to
37:57
do this thing
37:57
whatever millions of years
37:59
better by some lose one all
38:02
the parts are really work together race
38:05
no input on me like a jello sack
38:07
of electricity going through it
38:08
not only going to come up with the best
38:10
thing also used for two hours
38:12
last night the
38:15
new i guess it off and let's
38:17
make good decisions and you might say
38:20
million quickly and
38:22
like me the truth about everything about everything world you
38:25
be like i don't even
38:26
i don't even know where my nose their late on
38:29
tuesday
38:30
no so your
38:31
like getting into the habit of
38:33
just being
38:34
that is taking your brains
38:36
advocates reporting the whether it's
38:38
like hey it's me sixty two degrees
38:41
you're damn in your face is ugly
38:43
a telling
38:45
you the truth that without
38:48
it's not just reporting the were like
38:50
the other optional thought you're having that
38:52
you can learn to change suggest
38:54
getting that practice been like the
38:56
great had a lot of nonsense today like
38:58
let you know ten minutes ago
39:00
as pretty sure that traffic jam with going to ruin
39:02
my life forever but now i've
39:05
totally forgotten about it so it's almost like my
39:07
brain wasn't right
39:08
about that like looking for the places
39:10
your brain is wrong it's a fake it
39:12
gives you that exacting or time i'll just be like com
39:15
the know this and there will always
39:17
happen like
39:18
coffee gap it's warning or something very
39:20
uncharacteristic for me
39:22
if i didn't like i've done this a nutshell
39:24
i was like okay this is interesting he my brain
39:26
wanting to like i want to like i recently
39:28
retired outside
39:29
different people about it and get different don't want
39:31
i'm like freaking out an island or the math and
39:33
he was like about taxes and then i was
39:35
like it's possible that feeling
39:37
now does not actually mean that something has
39:40
gone wrong with that i actually have a problem
39:42
i'm like no two hours later and i'm like scientists
39:45
plenty of money it led you to coach
39:47
myself
39:47
those are therefore should look
39:50
like letting it run through without
39:52
like reacting to it and getting all agitated
39:54
as
39:55
you're wanted an hour you know
39:59
right now the yomiuri
40:05
urgency is always a season
40:07
not act on it if you are like urgently
40:09
trying to take action that's
40:11
when you're like trying to get away from feeling
40:13
the minimum wage slowdown
40:15
nasa great point however
40:17
me but impact
40:20
singer as well you are so
40:22
when you feel like you gotta is night
40:25
while you're trying out of a feeling that the time like
40:27
for down
40:28
yeah
40:29
do you want to talk about the pandemic for
40:32
a minute to an impact this is hard
40:34
on the women's movement i know where saw
40:36
in the midst of a lot of and it's it's
40:38
is undeniable that side
40:40
effects on women's professional past
40:42
self confidence and overall mental health skinny
40:45
speech to this and like how we might
40:47
come back from this
40:48
yeah i think this is approved exam
40:50
out there's actual an internal
40:52
stuff and like both are important rates we obviously
40:54
have an external social problem of women's
40:57
work not being valued as much women pay
40:59
disparity is women being the primary caretakers
41:01
off and it's and so you ended up with this kind
41:03
of social structural problem of
41:05
a lot of women have any quit their jobs to like stay
41:07
home and home school their kids during the pandemic
41:09
when the schools are closed and like there's a lot
41:12
of social structure stuff that goes into that like
41:14
we don't have enough government or corporate support
41:16
for working families we don't there's like
41:18
the social expectation that if somebody's gonna quit their
41:20
job is going to be the woman
41:23
whatever the public policy
41:24
what around the pandemic that created as like
41:26
there's a lot of external stuff which again
41:28
like
41:28
we should i be working on and also
41:31
we can solve the next thirteen
41:33
right that's an hour long ongoing
41:35
problem right
41:36
the internal side though
41:38
think that understanding how your
41:40
brain works made it a lot easier
41:43
to weather
41:44
turn on mans because one
41:47
of the things you start to see is that
41:49
your brain it's just like what
41:51
something amazing happened you have a seat do have
41:53
that like of suit of philly great for met in
41:55
your brain go back to normal thing the
41:57
same thing happens with something scarier
41:59
it happens there is like an initial panic
42:02
but also than your brain just kind of
42:04
apply whatever the normal programs are
42:06
to that situation
42:08
right the people who never had any health
42:10
anxiety
42:11
the for were knocked out worried about
42:13
kobe rightly or wrongly
42:14
people that a lot of health anxiety before
42:17
there are very worried people who had a lot of money
42:19
anxiety before very
42:21
worried about money and because the pennetta people who
42:24
didn't since none of this
42:26
is about like what was m c that objectively true
42:28
or not it's just that you change your
42:30
mind to think a certain way so if we take it into a
42:32
new gym
42:33
the quite the body of an imac magically total
42:35
change take the brain into brain new situation
42:38
new situation of at his
42:39
the kind of your normal thought patterns but that
42:41
makes it so much easier to nelson of by your
42:43
brain i know story
42:46
that everything is now an emergency you
42:48
have to panic
42:49
if you're panics for three years straight the you need
42:51
to freedom
42:51
the night
42:52
our brain responds especially to life or
42:54
death threats is just a lot
42:56
of anxiety that supposed to
42:58
motivate us to run away but when you're dealing with
43:01
a pandemic that is not really
43:03
what you're gonna do you care for like a speeding
43:05
car where i like you're fast reflexes make you jump out
43:07
of the way this is like a chronic ongoing
43:10
thrive and risk issue that people have to
43:12
manage that you more need your prefrontal
43:15
cortex to make decisions not your
43:17
like japan the way the fast moving things
43:19
which reflexes right
43:21
and so i think
43:23
having that of abilities like the
43:26
old and manager
43:27
rain not be reactive be able
43:29
to like allow your emotions to flow
43:31
rate be able to sort of shoes or to
43:33
leave on purpose is really what gets people
43:35
through
43:36
the heart of times like this is why i think it so
43:39
it is a sewing misguided and misunderstanding
43:41
when people think that
43:43
jose are like management
43:45
or mindset suffer whatever is like
43:47
a luxury
43:48
hey i might is like you when
43:50
she saw going well and good and everything's easy
43:53
like that's not when that's what one a luxury
43:55
item and like a car that's fancier
43:57
than you
43:57
like you don't need my at work
43:59
and
43:59
important when everything's going great although
44:02
it's still is because you saw the human brain he
44:04
might like when it really is clutch is
44:06
when everything of falling apart
44:08
and like that are you
44:09
develop emotional resilience
44:11
the whatever is happening around you pat and soda
44:14
and i'm not sure what we know in the packers is coming
44:16
out yeah missile can now
44:18
it's the in may the second
44:20
weakening so i think that
44:22
a lot of people are feeling extremely bright
44:24
out now and
44:26
we can't change the whole world but you can change your
44:28
yeah
44:28
the ancient our first time doing his thing
44:31
right now how that twenty twenty two or
44:33
an outbreak
44:33
which is like all about how do you
44:36
change the way of thinking and reacting to the
44:38
world's that you can the van
44:40
and he'll burn out create more energy
44:42
even when the world
44:43
have not cooperate
44:45
that is very timely and i
44:47
feel like that no weight of
44:50
the last couple years has they're not
44:52
really happy for a lot of people and then coming
44:55
out of that and just being like say you're
44:57
fine now like just the everything's
44:59
cool it uses feel burned out like go
45:01
into the things that you like in this
45:03
world is just like the most unrealistic
45:06
expectations that i have
45:08
ever heard and
45:10
, hear a lot of as women who are just like
45:12
talking to themselves in that way
45:14
i like i don't know why i haven't been able
45:16
to bounce back i don't know why i feel so
45:19
tired all the time and really it's that
45:21
internal blame of like it must just
45:23
be me me my
45:26
assumption of running a challenge like this is it's
45:28
not as you guys it's not as you
45:30
and also part of the problem is like women
45:33
it is that social the summer women are taught
45:35
and trained to like to everything for everybody
45:37
else to feel guilty about ever taken time for
45:39
themselves to feel guilty about ever putting
45:42
money about ever especially they have kids
45:44
or a family and so like all
45:46
of that right
45:47
there's a part of it that is just sort of like learning
45:49
how to wrangle
45:50
the human evolves breaking through that
45:53
wants to freak out all the time and like learning
45:55
how to make our rolex after
45:57
into more of like
45:59
true
45:59
right in a theme park just like a little
46:01
the and then part of it is also
46:04
seeing the ways in which like a lot
46:06
of women do know and they're getting burnt
46:08
out and they do know what might help
46:10
but they also able to do
46:12
it because they don't feel comfortable
46:14
like a entire themselves
46:16
are saying no to that thing or like
46:18
letting their kids
46:19
watch tv for the born a even though
46:21
it's not the most enriching activity in the world
46:24
because like they just really need a break like
46:26
there's a lot of guilt and shame because
46:28
we and we have you talked about this for like who
46:31
summer socialization around athena perfect mother
46:33
and like been fully subservience your child
46:35
and
46:35
all bad so
46:38
my goal of the challenge
46:39
like it or other things like a teach people
46:41
the to they can use that
46:43
both of those problem like
46:45
having your brain to stack control and creating a lot
46:48
of stress and even
46:50
if i teach this is why you have to bring this land then
46:52
i can teach you what to do com
46:54
your brain down to be set your nervous system
46:56
ball blah but if you're next
46:58
there i can't do that because i need
47:00
my you know i have to make
47:02
happy for the whole class tomorrow like
47:04
i have to do this other things with other person i'm not allowed
47:06
to do that they doesn't matter
47:08
the teacher right we have to adjust both
47:10
parts
47:11
so weird when like
47:14
that are now and guess maybe this is me problems
47:16
that sometimes all road seems lead
47:18
to guilt and shame as and like
47:20
read em
47:24
whichever direction you go you end up and shame
47:26
i played i
47:28
know that we heard a lot of this from
47:31
you know the fitness community of like front
47:33
women specifically when they were
47:36
taking on all of these jobs of teacher
47:38
and you know that this read this
47:41
ridiculous amount of load obviously
47:44
they're fitness was falling by the wayside
47:46
and
47:47
what like so many people saturday in i got
47:49
my covert fifteen or whatever as i get
47:51
everybody's calling s and it was like
47:53
what how i felt it was
47:56
it was like every road lead to shame because
47:58
this i went to work out and i'm a
48:00
t v than that then i'm shame because
48:02
i'm a bad months and if i didn't
48:04
to then i'm going to you know turn
48:07
around and go wow what has happened
48:09
to my physical appearance and that
48:12
is a shameful thing in it's own
48:14
right and it's just like he just felt
48:16
like i still feel like sometimes
48:19
sexism leads to burn out i mean that's
48:21
what that's is rates for activism for activism i'm
48:23
somehow the toast do you are home
48:25
grown in rushing activity for my child while also
48:28
working out and maintaining this exact figure while
48:30
also against the system our do it all
48:32
one
48:33
it be like if your brain disease you options
48:35
and both of them are your terrible
48:37
the wrong like that
48:39
the math is not add up right and that
48:41
is that like called a sack of shame exactly that's
48:43
what creates by now i mean that's what
48:45
so the doctor bike burnout
48:47
is created by to a constant
48:49
mental rumination about how you are doing
48:51
it wrong not doing enough said
48:54
the same no matter what to do
48:55
the and that has nothing to do the pandemic
48:58
because i'm encouraging women for years
49:00
on when i'm at work i feel bad as
49:02
we have my kids on i'm with my kids i feel bad that i should
49:04
be working right like that had nothing to
49:06
do it was happening in the outside world
49:08
you're so right and when you said by the things
49:10
that were already there just team
49:13
figure during the pandemic they just bubbled
49:15
to the surface but they were already there if
49:17
you had health concerns they were you know any me ages
49:19
enhance their in a a totally i
49:21
totally hear that you talk about
49:24
the term authentic confidence and
49:26
living with authentic confidence and fertilizers
49:28
love that term he ,
49:30
i was just wanting you
49:33
to take a minute and just have to talk
49:35
about what this means in your mission
49:37
mission honestly maybe
49:40
try to convince every
49:42
person that this is a possibility
49:44
speakers honestly i really think
49:46
that there are people stay specifically
49:49
women status your that phrase
49:51
and are lakes that sounds great
49:53
but that's never gonna have
49:54
yeah
49:55
so when i say authentic confidence
49:57
when i mean is not seeking it so you may
49:59
it
50:00
right now it's like true confidence a concern
50:03
with in is not based on
50:05
everybody always [unk] green with you everybody always like
50:07
in new
50:08
right everybody always think you look guy and
50:10
everybody be approving of you
50:12
that have confidence really has been
50:15
because confidence the wanted that the root of confidence
50:17
is actually just south except right
50:20
like
50:21
i'm okay the way i am i'm
50:23
allowed to exist even
50:25
if some people don't agree
50:27
with halle
50:28
we but it is really have a basement like a lot of
50:30
women feel like they're basically not
50:32
allowed to exist if other people
50:35
damn i don't like what they're doing or don't
50:37
think they're attractive or don't think they did a good job
50:39
when he or means them in
50:41
third grade at my so be thinking about that like
50:43
if anybody in the world has a negative opinion
50:45
of them decision about happens
50:48
though is that it's like we think we can't it's like
50:50
a circle another called another fact we
50:52
think we can have confidence the
50:54
confidence is beta
50:55
actually being like good or pretty or smarter
50:57
whenever it's like some objective thing and
51:00
if we don't have that and how could we be cancer
51:03
the true that is that common says
51:05
really nothing to do with any kind of objectivity
51:08
it's just a thought pattern is just
51:10
a way of thinking about yourself so like i
51:12
can be concerned about my words and
51:15
so can cindy crawford even now
51:17
society is very different beliefs about our
51:19
bodies and which one of us has more track ray
51:21
like it's not easy will surely be
51:23
fun external thing them like only the
51:25
person who was the best at his thing in the world
51:27
would be allowed to feel confident up on how
51:30
it works they it's
51:32
just a thought pattern and the truth is like
51:34
my women will often be like wow i can't just
51:36
i mean
51:37
that may be confident even as
51:40
i don't think it's true like what i'm
51:42
just to become you know like as an arrogant
51:44
narcissism like first of all if you're
51:46
even thinking about
51:47
that that know what's gonna happen who
51:49
do all that like a personality disorder
51:52
it is not something that you give to yourself by
51:54
confident thoughts
51:56
third man i love my
51:58
i always further than like what
51:59
recreating in our life people could have completely
52:02
said to me that it was completely delusional to
52:04
think that i could love my by i know people can see
52:06
mean a cell if there was a twisted that's
52:08
that's i live in like that body
52:10
in this world and p and i
52:12
quit being a running a think tank to come
52:14
a life coach
52:15
people have said would like twenty
52:18
the seeming shoes on their side that
52:20
like you be at how could i possibly can
52:22
from a high love to see how they become since i
52:24
was gonna run a business like dollars net a
52:26
crazy thing to do oh and
52:28
now i ran a seven figure business like
52:31
no reason to think that i can be able to do
52:32
that and are blaming wouldn't thought
52:34
that it can seem to crazy i agree
52:37
but like you can
52:38
you didn't like it
52:40
subjective you in
52:42
your brain going through lies and
52:44
like no one is going to issue a ruling on
52:47
whether you are truly allowed to do confidence
52:49
or a truly good enough and twelve
52:51
people
52:52
the different opinion
52:53
why do you just go to decide you want to go
52:55
through nice thinking your piece of shit or do you want to go through
52:57
life like how
52:59
in your friendship with yourself
53:00
are you actually think that you are worthwhile
53:02
make no one can tell you either
53:05
way
53:05
you might as well just decide they
53:08
always gets me in my feels because the
53:10
most thing i hear from women is like i wish
53:13
i had confidence i'm always stop it's
53:15
not going to come, it's not that serious don't
53:17
come knocking your door come in and it's
53:19
really all about what you how you're
53:21
going to decide to go through your life and that doesn't
53:23
mean it changes in a day know, we talked
53:25
entire episode about making those small changes
53:28
and how its work and it
53:30
just starts with, you ten percent
53:32
but it's worth it and
53:35
it's a decision that really starts with
53:37
you i are like to that there was going
53:39
to be nobody at the end said
53:43
you're always i need
53:45
to know what you're not going to get into heaven and they're going to be like
53:47
good job never letting her with kid
53:50
tv
53:53
the know
53:54
recall i get certified letter from the universe
53:56
you doing a certified letter from the universe hangover
53:59
we did are right around
53:59
that women want one because
54:01
those right to dot ourselves to not yourself
54:03
as an authority to believe that other people
54:05
need to validate
54:06
and when it comes to coincidence like
54:08
you also like europe people and
54:10
boy to my five six year according to me
54:13
you know i've written in finance visa
54:15
your brains evaluation of how you'd
54:18
cortical truly are
54:20
agreed that your brain was full
54:22
of bullshit like
54:24
your brain is now
54:26
there is a spit out confidence like it's
54:28
your brain told you that because you burn
54:30
the toast you are us
54:31
the you're otherwise like stream
54:34
are incredibly dramatic they're basically
54:36
slinging
54:37
the under victorian fainting couch is all
54:39
hi i'm
54:41
and why don't we do not let me do you
54:43
do who is
54:45
t saw that as like the gospel
54:47
truth rate so
54:49
you basically like it's all a big circle
54:51
if you try to like achieve your
54:54
way to place the white your brain to spell
54:56
confidence we haven't treated to it's isn't going
54:58
to
54:59
like a voicing confidence from having anything
55:01
to do with like i'm certified letter from universe
55:04
somebody the and like ten olympic
55:06
judges or that the number to be like you
55:08
truly are
55:09
smart enough to be allowed to think that about your job
55:15
yeah you need to embrace that
55:18
to create a confidence because otherwise
55:20
your to can spend your whole life thing down
55:23
yourself and then and you're not getting an award
55:25
for that when you die either so the
55:28
mariners martyr you're
55:31
not sitting not sitting more traditional you know
55:33
award at the end where they're like job
55:35
never seen anything they
55:36
yourself
55:38
the cookie that's not how are know
55:41
they were among humans honestly terrorism
55:43
is know what's your plan
55:46
you get around measure sea
55:48
lions i said something that was
55:50
like college so often say and i like said
55:52
to my best friend other was early narcissistic
55:55
and she was like i don't think narcissist
55:57
ask themselves
56:02
didn't make it like we're so
56:04
used like a ranking each other because women are socialized
56:07
to compare themselves to each other all other time like we have
56:09
another hope i guess about this think you
56:12
are smart are pretty does not mean
56:14
think you're better and more worthy than other people
56:17
you're allowed to just think a positive
56:19
thing about yourself and it does not imply
56:22
that you are better than somebody else or that you're
56:24
what like we are all equally humanly worthy
56:26
and also were allowed to the nice
56:28
the versa
56:29
nineteen back on
56:34
ask you one last question about i'm
56:36
you mentioned in your bio to yourself
56:38
love is a radical act for women
56:41
and this one's just got me all of in my field
56:43
and do
56:45
we need to commit to being an
56:48
outsider an radical is to truly
56:50
live free and limitless the
56:53
only in our mind
56:55
i'm not work out on a commune i'm like
56:57
i said you guys live
56:59
in brooklyn in our limited
57:05
when i met a woman i have a
57:07
male partners pretty that's pretty conventional
57:09
way you it's radical to
57:12
accept
57:12
we're quite imperfect humanity
57:15
the woman because you are socialized for everybody
57:18
but i focus on
57:19
they were met mike because we are socialized
57:21
the think that are word and are value and our
57:23
ability to love ourselves or be loved by
57:25
other people are contingent
57:27
i'm performing a certain way and
57:29
so it is a radical actually the truth
57:31
is it's not even about
57:33
the bombing of love is about like thinking everything
57:35
you do is great and that so dangerous for them a law
57:37
run each other with cars are like whatever insane
57:39
the prequel people go on to just
57:41
like if i think that i'm not a disgusting pile
57:44
of fact that i will become an arrogance us
57:46
it really doesn't make any sense when you look
57:48
at your like the one that's
57:51
like saying if saying cook one as i'm going to turn
57:53
into a french chef like no matter
57:56
how , you going to be a recent diamonds not
57:58
related
57:59
but anyway people think
58:02
that's of love is that they think it's it's like
58:04
thinking everything you do a great not whatever
58:06
and i
58:07
the new south love it's like you're
58:09
iran itself is like any other long
58:11
term relationship in your life
58:13
it doesn't mean
58:14
always trout with yourself it doesn't mean you only
58:16
have positive thoughts about your
58:17
what you have a sunday
58:19
and i'm like south except of acceptance
58:21
and regard and love brave just like you do
58:23
with a long term partner or long term
58:26
friend make
58:28
i do my best friends my boyfriend
58:30
i love every single thing they do i don't
58:32
have
58:32
the positive talked about them i didn't
58:34
days one night with there's a we have a fight or
58:37
i'm just irritated or i don't like their face
58:42
make that mean that they are not worthy
58:44
of love that they aren't like board
58:46
the human that they have to like change
58:49
in order for me to love them now are some of
58:51
it's due to that in our external relationships
58:53
but that's a mirror of our relationship with ourselves
58:56
rates to me up acceptance
58:58
of love like don't turn it into
59:01
he's known as known as off the human condition either
59:03
it's not like this didn't destination you can get
59:05
to where you always buy yourself a than you never
59:07
feel sad
59:08
bad and you did it perfectly
59:09
it just means having like a long
59:11
term friendship with your software even
59:14
s he had a rough day with your saw fiorello
59:16
means years if you don't like a lot
59:18
he said he snapped at somebody and i your credit
59:21
whatever
59:22
that dormant context of like
59:23
why were you i respect you i care for you
59:25
i'm here with you and like holding that
59:27
space for yourself strategy
59:30
in
59:32
the film again you
59:34
know i just i just think that these things
59:36
are as the see some time they
59:39
can seem so far away and they can seem
59:41
so idealistic and they can seem so
59:43
just as far as our league
59:45
but like really when you break it down
59:48
it just i just hope that everybody leaves
59:50
with leaves little bit of hope that these things
59:52
are absolutely one hundred percent possible
59:54
in your life and you can live this life
59:57
an edge this don't i just i just
59:59
think that
59:59
it really changes the games and if you are
1:00:02
right
1:00:02
correct like me english name
1:00:04
