400. Most Surprising Parts of My Dream Life (& How to Create Yours Too)
Socialization tells us that happiness comes from hitting the right milestones—prestigious career, perfect body, ideal partner. We’re taught that once we check off all the boxes and achieve enough, fulfillment will follow. But is that really true?After 400 episodes of Unfuck Your Brain, I’ve completely transformed my life—but not by following the blueprint society handed me. The real shift happened when I stopped chasing the generic dream everyone else told me I should want and started figuring out what I actually wanted for myself. In today’s episode, I’m sharing the three things I’ve learned that actually helped me build my dream life, plus the concrete steps that can help you start creating yours.Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: schoolofnewfeministthought.com/400Mentioned in this episode:It's Time to Stop Caring What Other People Think- And I'll Show You How.Ever feel like your brain refuses to SHUT UP about what everyone else might be thinking about you?

399. What Everyone Gets Wrong About Confidence
Confidence is often talked about in the online empowerment space, but most people misunderstand it. We think of confidence as a feeling—a temporary emotion we either have or don’t have. But here’s the truth: confidence is much more than a feeling. In fact, the feeling of confidence is the last part—and the least important part. In this episode, I’m breaking down why treating confidence as just a feeling keeps us stuck, and what you really need to focus on to create lasting, transformative confidence in your life. Listen in as I explain how to create the foundation of confidence you’ve been missing.
