from UnF*ck Your Brain: Feminist Self-Help for Everyone

When you imagine yourself in the future, what do you see? Are you meditating at 5 a.m. before diving into the picture-perfect morning routine? Are you living by the beach with a business that makes money while you sleep? Are you making holiday cookies with your kids without ever spilling flour all over the floor?In this episode, I'm breaking down a crucial distinction that most self-help exercises about connecting to your future self completely miss: the difference between your future self and your fantasy self. You'll learn specific ways to check whether you're connecting to a helpful future self who has actual advice about your growth, or if you're indulging in a fantasy that keeps you stuck.Learn more about A Confident Life here: schoolofnewfeministthought.com/aconfidentlife/Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://schoolofnewfeministthought.com/448Follow along on Instagram: instagram.com/karaloewentheil/
