Do you ever think:
- “I can’t ever lose weight. I’m doing it all wrong.”
- “Everyone at work is going to find out I have no idea what I’m doing.”
- “I should love my body, but I’m just disgusting.”
You’re not broken for having thoughts like this. And you’re not alone.
It’s normal for women to have these thoughts. From a young age, your brain absorbed TONS of messages about is expected of women. How you “should” and “should not” think, feel, look, etc., etc.
It’s obvious where some of these messages came from. For years, magazines, TV shows, and social media posts only showed one type of woman (thin and perfect).
But some of the messages you received weren’t as obvious. Like only seeing men in leadership roles. Or feeling pressured by your family to get married. These “unspoken” messages also impacted you.
Get ready to learn how these messages hold you back in life and in weightloss. Today, I interview Master Certified Coach and podcast powerhouse Kara Loewentheil. She wrote a new book: “Take Back Your Brain: How A Sexist Society Gets In Your Head – And How to Get It Out.”
Kara is a master at helping women understand how they’ve been socialized — and what they can do about it. Listen to Episode 372: Take Back Your Brain with Kara Loewentheil to discover:
- The 2 brain gaps that hold us back.
- The importance of normalizing our “bad” thoughts.
- Simple ways you can start to unwind harmful messages.
Knowing all of this can be a game changer for weightloss. I didn’t lose my weight until I stopped talking to myself like an asshole. But, back then, I didn’t know WHY I was so mean to myself.
Listen to today’s episode. Kara helps you understand why you always make yourself wrong. Or feel like everything is your fault. Or have a hard time trusting yourself and making decisions.
And, most importantly, how to take back your brain so you can live your life as the badass woman you are.
