<p>Are you exhausted from constantly worrying about what other people think of you? Whether it’s your boss, your family, or even strangers, this fixation zaps your energy and keeps you from being your authentic self. But here's the truth: the more you focus on their opinions, the less you connect with your own.</p><p>In this episode, I’m diving into why “just letting it go” never works, and why your brain can’t simply switch off these thoughts. I’ll show you how to uncover the deeper beliefs fueling your worries, and teach you how to replace them with thoughts that actually support you.</p><p>Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: <a href="https://schoolofnewfeministthought.com/397" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://schoolofnewfeministthought.com/397</a></p><p>Mentioned in this episode:</p><p><strong>Free Training Coming Up!</strong></p><p>Ever feel like your brain refuses to SHUT UP about what everyone else might be thinking about you?

<p>Why do some opinions bounce right off us, while others stick like taffy, lingering in our minds and draining our energy? This isn’t random—it’s actually a clue to how our brains process feedback and, more importantly, what we really believe about ourselves. </p><p>In this episode, I’m diving into why we get fixated on some people’s opinions, even when they shouldn’t matter as much, and why others’ judgments just slide right by. The truth is, it’s not about the other person’s opinion—it’s about the internal fears and doubts we haven’t fully addressed. Listen in to learn why we think this way and how to break this pattern.</p><p>Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: <a href="https://schoolofnewfeministthought.com/396" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://schoolofnewfeministthought.com/396</a></p><p>Mentioned in this episode:</p><p><strong>Free Training Coming Up!</strong></p><p>Ever feel like your brain refuses to SHUT UP about what everyone else might be thinking about you?

<p>Have you ever had a man ask why you care so much about what others think? And then found yourself at a loss for how to explain why it matters so deeply? There’s a reason women tend to fixate on others’ opinions, and it’s not simply a lack of confidence or insecurity.</p><p> </p><p>This week, I’m diving into why this preoccupation with others’ opinions is so powerful for women—and why it’s not silly or superficial to acknowledge its hold over us. You'll hear the first step in breaking free from this pattern (hint: it isn’t to judge ourselves) and how to spot the impossible, contradictory standards women are taught to meet.</p><p>Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: <a href="https://schoolofnewfeministthought.com/395" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://schoolofnewfeministthought.com/395</a></p>

<p>Ever feel like your brain refuses to SHUT UP about what everyone else might be thinking about you?</p><p>The <strong>bad news</strong> is that making everyone happy and controlling what they think about you is literally impossible to accomplish and you <em>will</em> die trying! Sorry, but it’s true. </p><p>The<strong> good news</strong> is you <strong>can</strong> actually stop trying to <em>manage</em> what everyone else thinks about you at every moment … and feel better about yourself than you <strong>ever</strong> have before.</p><p><br></p><p>That’s what I’m here to teach you in my brand new workshop: <a href="https://unfuckyourbrain.com/caring/utm_source=podcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">How to Stop Caring What Other People Think.</a></p><p><br></p><p>When: Friday, June 6 from 12:00–1:30 p.m. ET</p><p>Cost: FREE.

<p>Have you ever felt that sinking feeling in your stomach—the one that says, “There’s no point in trying because nothing will ever change”? That’s hopelessness, and it’s one of the most dangerous emotional states because it paralyzes us and keeps us stuck. It’s also one of the most deceptive thought patterns your brain can offer you.</p><p>This week, I’m breaking down why hopelessness is fundamentally a lie. When your brain tells you nothing will ever change, it’s making a claim it can’t possibly back up. Tune in to learn how to combat these thoughts and start embracing the reality that change is always possible—even when it feels like it isn’t.</p><p><br></p><p>Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: <a href="https://schoolofnewfeministthought.com/394" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://schoolofnewfeministthought.com/394</a></p>

<p>Do you find yourself getting frustrated when others don’t see things exactly as you do? When this happens and we’re activated, afraid, or overwhelmed, we often assume our perspective is the only “correct” one. This rigidity creates tension in relationships, leaving us feeling isolated and misunderstood. Sound familiar?</p><p>In this episode, I’m revisiting a concept I call “You Are Not The Reference Point.” The key is realizing that your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors aren’t the standard by which everyone else should be measured. When we allow space for others’ perspectives, we open the door to better communication, greater acceptance, and less judgment. It’s a game-changer for any relationship!</p><p><br></p><p>Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: <a href="https://schoolofnewfeministthought.com/392" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://schoolofnewfeministthought.com/392</a></p>

<p>Are you stuck in thought patterns, habits, or emotional cycles you can’t break, even though you <em>know</em> they’re not serving you? I promise that it’s possible to pursue your goals without your brain putting you in fight or flight as soon as you start taking serious steps. And that's what I'm teaching you how to do in my new, free training coming up: Safety Is An Inside Job.</p><p>It's happening on May 14th @ 12 PM ET, and you can click here to grab your spot: </p><p><a href="https://the-school-of-new-feminist-thought.captivate.fm/safety-training" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://the-school-of-new-feminist-thought.captivate.fm/safety-training</a></p>

<p>After coaching thousands of women (and learning a lot from my own journey), I’ve realized that our brains are really good at focusing on what we <em>haven’t</em> yet accomplished, while completely glossing over what we <em>have</em>. That’s why it’s crucial to actively look for evidence of growth and progress.</p><p>In this episode, I’m sharing the three biggest insights I gained during my 43rd year: how to handle differences of opinion in relationships without being triggered, how to make decisions even when you don’t have all the answers, and why no single achievement will change your life overnight. Tune in to hear how embracing the highs and lows of life can teach us everything we need to know about self-trust, decision-making, and staying grounded in uncertainty.</p><p>For full show notes, transcript, and more information, go to: <a href="https://schoolofnewfeministthought.com/391" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://schoolofnewfeministthought.com/391</a></p><p>Mentioned in this episode:</p><p>Struggling to make progress on your goals or facing anxiety in relationships?
