You know theoretically that you don’t have to be perfect to get that raise, but you can’t stop worrying about getting fired any time you consider making your case.
You intellectually understand creativity and joy matter, and you should pursue more of what lights you up, but you’re worried if you focus on “impractical” stuff for too long, everything in your life will fall apart.
You want to model a balanced approach to work, life, and family for your kids, but if that means time away from them (even when you’re exhausted, or have “earned” the time away), you feel guilty and ashamed.
You want to love your body and take better care of yourself, but you still feel like a failure for not having 6-pack abs and a trophy case of marathon medals already — and you don’t even like running!
It might feel impossible (been there!), but you hold more cards than you think. The Society will teach you how to know what’s really worth doing, and how to make big progress on those goals — without letting anyone else down either.
The system does matter — and I have a great one, one that has helped me build a multiple-seven-figure-a-year business, get a book on the New York Times bestseller list, have plenty of time for my family and friends, and still go on vacation and take naps on the regular.
NO system on earth can hep you continuously create massive change in your life IF your mind is still a mess.
If you are over-functioning for your family and colleagues, afraid to ever say “no” because you’re people-pleasing, undermining your own abilities and contributions with self-deprecation and self-doubt, or waiting to be noticed and rewarded for spreading yourself so thin you’re practically translucent … ain’t no system in the world going to save you.
So you can focus instead of feel scattered, get your needs met instead of people-pleasing, prioritize instead of procrastinating … and do such incredible things you blow your own mind.

I feel a level of confidence in my body, at work and financially I didn’t honestly think possible when I joined. I am literally blowing my own mind with what I am achieving in my own life and my relationships.
Imagine what you could get done with a brain that’s working FOR you, rather than against you.
A life where you stop cutting your dreams short in the name of what’s “practical,” stop kicking yourself when you hit obstacles, and achieve more than most everyone else you know.
And they may have helped, somewhat, at least for a minute.
But when the dopamine of the teaching or tool wears off, your brain is still your brain.
And the way you manage your life can’t change until you change the way you think about it.
But if you try to hack your brain without understanding the specific socialization women get that impacts their ambition, their personal lives, and how they spend their time?
You’re using tools created by men for men … on your brain, which was programmed with an entirely different operating system and has entirely different challenges.
(I mean, let’s be real — how many of those male productivity or mindset experts have imposter syndrome, or are also the primary parent in their family, or are being asked to get coffee at the meeting? NOT A ONE.)
Doubled my salary
Found a job I truly love
Become my own best friend
Earned my master’s degree
Had my first romantic relationship
Completed two impossible goals
Run four 5ks, including my first 5k
Healed my platonic anxious attachment
Made enormous progress on my romantic anxious attachment
Stopped linking my self-worth and productivity
Learned to accept all of my emotions
All of these changes in circumstances pale in comparison to how different I feel as a person.
Thank you to Kara for the absolute magic you have bottled here for us.”

The type of work I do was recently part of a double-blind clinical study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association Network Open.
(Mm-hm, what the researchers studied included some of the same content and coaching that’s inside The Society.)
It showed coaching had a better outcome on measures of burnout, imposter syndrome, self-compassion, and flourishing than almost any other intervention that had been studied in some of the same populations.

Who am I? I’m Kara Loewentheil, the author of the New York Times & USA Today #1 Bestseller, “Take Back Your Brain,” host of the internationally top-ranked podcast, “UnF*ck Your Brain,” and founder of The School of New Feminist Thought.
Today I’m the leading feminist mindset coach in the world, but I didn’t start out that way. I started out as an anxious, overwhelmed, and always-guilty-feeling double-Ivy League grad (Yale College, Harvard Law) who procrastinated every school assignment until the last minute, and felt constantly overwhelmed by everything on my plate.
I tried therapy, yoga, meditation, you name it. But nothing solved my problem because my overwhelm was not from my to-do list (big as it was). It was the emotional overwhelm of patriarchal programming. When I figured that out, I figured out how to solve it.
Now I run a multiple-seven-figure business, am married to a supportive husband I retired, employ a dozen incredible women, host a top-ranked podcast, have landed my first book on multiple bestseller lists, and still manage to have plenty of time to nap, read, travel and relax. It’s not magic — I just know how to manage my time and manage my brain.

This is such a common question — and please don’t take this personally, but I think it’s the wrong question to ask. Women are socialized to think that they only deserve things they NEED and also that they NEED to make the right decision all the time. So we’re always trying to figure out if we “need” something to justify a decision.
But it’s not about what you need. It’s about what you WANT.
If those are things you want, then that’s what matters. And that’s what The Society will provide.
Nope, you’ll notice small shifts as soon as you start this work.
After two months in The Society, you’ll start noticing that you just feel … a bit more chill.
Your emotions aren’t so much of a rollercoaster. You’re getting more done and starting to feel more confident about your abilities and your worth. You’re a little nicer to yourself. You’re spending less time scrolling Instagram feeling bad about yourself, and more time blowing your own mind with thought work in the The Society.
After four months in The Society, you’ll realize it’s been a while since you took sh*t personally.
Suddenly, without quite knowing how it happened, you just feel less judgmental of yourself and everyone around you. You won’t get freaked out when something unexpected happens, because you know you can handle it. You catch your reflection in the mirror and surprise yourself by thinking “damn girl, looking good!” You have more patience with yourself and those around you.
After six months in The Society, your brain starts coaching itself.
You’re naturally and effortlessly thinking more positive, productive, and helpful thoughts, and when you look back at your thoughts from month one, you don’t even recognize some of them anymore. You show up at work as the bad-ass you always knew you could be. You show up in your personal life as the magnetic, loving, and happy woman you always wanted to be. And most importantly you’re excited for the future, because you are so proud of the work you’ve already done that you can’t wait to find out where managing your mind and The Society are going to take you next!
And after that? The sky is the limit. And the one thing you know for sure is that The Society will be there to help you get wherever you want to go.
This is a very normal fear! We’ve all been there.
First, there’s literally no such thing as doing everything or completing it all.
When you go to college you aren’t trying to take ALL the courses, are you? No. You take the ones relevant to your interests, and when you are fully educated in that you graduate. The Society is the same.
More importantly, The Society is designed differently, because I created it in such a way that it can make a big difference in your life even with very little time spent on it. You can spend 5 minutes a day or 5 hours a week, and you’ll see results.
I’m going to let one of The Society’s members tell you how big of a difference The Society can make even when don’t have a lot of time or aren’t the joining type.
I don’t get on the website often, and I don’t participate in coaching. I read others’ posts. I listen to the weekly podcast. That’s. It.
So let me tell you all what happened yesterday. I got walked down to HR and was told they were eliminating my position. They offered me an 8-week severance and made me turn in my badge on the spot. I have a family with two small girls. I provide the majority of our income.
Let me tell you what also happened yesterday. I didn’t lose my shit. I stood up for myself in that meeting and told them how much of a mistake they are making. I had my own back. I never cried. I came out of there feeling empowered, confident and resourceful. I have never once felt like a victim. They are the ones who lost and this is an opportunity for me to find and work for a company who values their employees, patient quality and patient care.
You don’t have to be a star student in this group to see the effects. Two years ago I would have been crippled with devastation and doom. I would have lived as a victim and not helped myself. I would have had a lack of confidence and felt like an imposter.
Not yesterday!
It’s up to you. We have folks who stay for three months, folks who stay for a year, and folks who have been in The Society since the beginning several years ago.
Your first month starts the day you join. After that you’ll be billed monthly. You can cancel at any time, whenever you want to graduate yourself from The Society and feel ready to handle life’s challenges on your own!
Absolutely. Therapy and The Society work beautifully together. In fact, we have members in The Society who were referred to us by their therapists, because therapists are not trained in socially-programmed anxiety and feminist thought tools! No matter what kind of mental health treatment you are receiving, learning how to manage your mind and resolve your socially-programmed anxiety is going to make your therapy more impactful and help your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors change more quickly.
I’m going to let one of our FSS members take the mic to answer this one.
I just want to say that this stuff really works.
I just started a job in an industry I used to work in but stopped before I joined FSS. I’m sitting here in awe of my own brain.
I used to be SOOO stressed out and anxious and overwhelmed in this industry and completely burned myself out.
Now I’m calmly setting boundaries, organizing tasks, offering encouragement to coworkers, saying ” no,” and thinking thoughts that are just MAGICAL compared to how I used to exist in this space.It’s surreal.
I literally feel like I’m going through life with a different software system. My brain is noticeably different.
Nope! We have members all over the world, and we try to vary the times of our live offerings to make them accessible to different time zones. Plus all coaching calls and other live offerings are recorded and replays are available on demand so you can fit us into your schedule wherever you are.
We also have members of all different ages, from their late teens into their 70s. It’s never too early or too late to start this work.
And we welcome anyone who was or is socialized as a woman, whatever your gender or current gender expression.
That’s not a problem. There’s no loyalty oath in The Society — our whole mission is to teach you how to think for yourself and believe what you truly want to believe! We’ve got members who are ardent feminists, members who are sure they don’t want to call themselves feminists, and members who aren’t sure what they think about it. The Society is not a good fit for you if you believe that women are an inferior gender and should not have equal rights. But other than that, you’re good.
The podcast is an amazing resource, but it was created one episode at a time over many years, so it’s more like a series of advice columns on a million different topics in no particular order. And when you listen to a podcast you can’t ask a question, get feedback on your attempts to implement what you learn, or get coaching when you’re stuck. The Society not only has teaching and tools that aren’t on the podcast, but it is streamlined and organized. The courses have been put together to focus on specific topics with Kara’s most cutting-edge concepts and tools for those topics. In The Society we’ve got everything you need, including content not on the podcast, and it’s perfectly streamlined and organized for fast, maximum change. Plus you have access to the coaching support you need to keep you moving in the right direction and using everything correctly!
I love being part of a global community of people who are all here to grow and learn and help each other. There isn’t really a part of my life that this work hasn’t improved. But the most important thing is that I feel like I’m actively living my life instead of just surviving it. It’s HUGE. It’s EVERYTHING.
