#682: Socially-Programmed Anxiety: What Is It and How Is It Affecting Your Definition of Success? With Kara Loewentheil


Listen Later

Rewiring your brain to create new beliefs and live the life you want on your terms.


If you know me, you know I’ve always said that being an entrepreneur is 80% about your mindset. The webinars, list building, and funnels can all be taught, but getting your head in the right space is what will truly set you apart as a business owner! 


But did you know that as female entrepreneurs, we are actually socially programmed to have more anxiety, more stress, and more self-doubt? This makes it so incredibly challenging to embody that bold and unapologetic mindset. Lucky for you, my guest today is here to help you create brand new beliefs and lead you directly to the life you've always wanted! 


In this episode, I sit down with the fabulous Kara Loewentheil, a former lawyer turned master life coach, who literally spends her days helping women rewire their brains for success. Yes, you read that right! Today, we're talking all about hacking your mindset using cognitive change strategies to unlearn those frustrating societal expectations. 


Over my 15 years of entrepreneurship, I've changed my mindset around lots of things, like money, my worth, and taking up space. But, even millions of dollars later, I still have a lot to learn. And I'm telling you – I learned so much from this chat with Kara, and I know you will, too! 


Today, we discuss: 

  • 5:35: What it actually means to be a feminist and how Kara teaches women to liberate themselves and achieve their dream life on their terms
  • 12:19: Tips for releasing the daily societal pressures put on you as a woman 
  • 17:54: Why women are socialized to prioritize others' needs over their own (and how this can manifest in motherhood!
  • 23:03: Being bold with your money as a female entrepreneur
  • 29:49: How to reprogram your brain to stop negative self-talk and build new beliefs 
  • 33:40: Advice for overcoming the societal conditioning that leads to guilt, anxiety, and stress in women 
  • 37:40: Changing your perspective on time management to be more present in daily life 
  • 43:37: The steps women should take to run their businesses boldly, confidently, and courageously  
  • 51:01: Why Kara wrote her life-changing book 

  • Listen in and start showing up for yourself in a stronger and more consistent way in every aspect of your life!
