That’s the thing about the human brain. It wants control more than anything.
And most of us don’t know how to direct our own minds on purpose. We don’t know how to create happiness, safety, or accomplishment using our brains.
So we ruminate about all the things we can’t actually control.
And while we’re doing that, what are we not doing?
Planning. Preparing. Strategizing. Helping.
The more the outside world seems to be spinning out, the more we need to be able to focus within.
The truth is, it’s not normal to be able to ground in the middle of a storm.
MOST people do not know how to create the thoughts, feelings, and actions that they want to have.
MOST people go through life feeling completely at the mercy of whatever their brains or their circumstances happen to throw up that day.
I don’t blame anyone who feels that way. Society teaches us to believe that we are victims to circumstances and to fate, and that other people make the decisions that shape our lives.
Motivational speakers will tell you to be in the driver’s seat of your life, but let’s be real – many of the women I’ve coached don’t even think they are in the passenger seat — they feel like they are in the trunk!
We’re taught that we’re not authorities in our own lives or anything else, and that everyone else knows what is better for us and who we should be. So we chase those external markers of security, happiness, and success endlessly.
We’re taught to underestimate our own mental and emotional power, and instead to outsource our happiness, confidence, and sense of safety to other people or material things.
But it doesn’t come from changing your circumstances. At least not at first.
It comes from inside your own brai.
It’s a technique that has changed my life and that I’ve taught to tens of thousands of women who have used it to change theirs.
I don’t remember much about that book.
But if I were writing a memoir, I’d title it A Tale of Two Women.
And the subtitle would be: “Life Before and After Self-Coaching.”
Before I learned to coach myself?
I went to therapy, I did yoga, I got into meditation for a while.
All of it was somewhat helpful, but none of it truly solved the problem.
I run a coaching and educational business that has created $25 million in revenue in the last 8 years — which I built with no experience in business and no formal business education.
And I kept that business profitable and my team employed during an economic downturn that decimated small businesses across the country.
I went from being single and childless-by-choice to being a married step-mom.
And I navigated all the highs and lows of falling in love, dealing with childhood trauma, and learning how to parent while also landing a book on the NYT Bestseller list the same year.
The way I persevered through business challenges that would have driven many people to quit.
The way I navigated incredibly difficult personal circumstances that I will never share publicly but that have torn many families apart, and came out with my relationships stronger than ever.
The way I have showed up for myself, my loved ones, and my mission no matter what was happening in my life or in the world.
But I want all of you to know how to coach yourselves, when it feels right now like so much is on the line for all of us.

NYT bestselling author of “Take Back Your Brain,” Creator of The School of New Feminist Thought, and Host of the “UnF*ck Your Brain” podcast (50M downloads and counting).
I’m a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Yale College and got my J.D. at Harvard Law School (with honors no less). I clerked on a federal appeals court, litigated reproductive rights, and ran a think tank at Columbia Law School before deciding to . . . quit my extremely prestigious law career to become a life coach, of course! Best decision I ever made.
Now I run a seven-figure coaching business created around my signature feminist coaching program, The Feminist Self-Help Society. I teach women how to become anyone they want to be by removing the mental and emotional barriers society has programmed into their brains.
My work has been featured in publications like The New York Times and Glamour Magazine and recommended by podcasts as diverse as “We Can Do Hard Things” with Glennon Doyle to “My Favorite Murder.” I’ve spoken everywhere from Kirkland & Ellis to Google. I pioneered most of the feminist coaching concepts out there, and my work continues to be on the cutting edge of this field. I firmly believe that self-coaching is the next frontier of the feminist revolution.
