Your desires aren’t quirks. They’re your blueprint. Using the Reiss Motivation Profile®, I help you decode what actually drives you—so you can stop forcing what doesn’t fit. → www.carolinachanis.com
The RMP gives you the power of asking the right questions. Instead of asking: how do I step into my power? I now ask "What's for lunch and how can I make this pretty?" and to me that's a more specific way to get my answer.

I help people who have internalized a hypercritical boomer as their inner voice.

You can be inauthentic AF and still get paid. So I'm not going to insult you by saying being yourself is a must in business. It is only a must if you want to do things with integrity 🤷🏻♀️.

I care about the You that came to this planet to experience aliveness.
You literally have a manual on how to unleash that.
Take the test :)

Begin where you are. (But, what if where you are is a complete cluster*ck?) Then you hire me. And I'll show you how that's not true at all. Let's work together.

If you want to have good ideas, you first have to create a nice incubator for them. Your desires show you exactly what you need to build that environment. Stop obsessing over "how to combat impostor syndrome". That's the wrong question.

Only a few more Sundays until the holidays. Are you already looking at your 2025 agenda with guilt and disappointment? If so, we should definitely connect. You can't self-hate your way into your ✨zone of excellence✨

My problem with the self-help genre: I don't have a giant within. I have an inner sloth who only moves when it wants to, and nobody has written a book on that so I had to figure it out.
Follow me if sloths and trash animals are your spirit guides 🦝

I am writing for the people who are disgusted by the "I am not for everyone!" LinkedIn crowd. Their "weird" is usually about inane shit like pizza toppings. Their weird is cosmetic. I am writing for the kind of weird that would make you an enemy of the Church, HR, or your own family.

I am writing for the people who already know they don't like where they are but are convinced that any effort to be themselves is a kind of betrayal

Your desire to be exceptional is a very elegant way to stay alive in capitalism without addressing that you unconsciously believe that you are disposable. Since the goalpost keeps moving, you are forced to stay in the rat race + carry your self-loathing everywhere.

My credentials: I used to be so serious. I would drain the joy out of anything with my obsession with perfection and efficiency and certainty.
Now I know how to motivate myself without relying on the inner critic
I solve most things these days while I eat or skate.

Type-A personalities, have you already realized you are fundamentally the same 6-yr old who did the homework for the stickers...or...are you still thinking it's a flex to be this eager?

Dear 1st-Gen/Immigrant,
I wish you experience the bliss that's on the other side of becoming your parent's biggest disappointment.
This is a more powerful aspiration than your "proximity to whiteness is the key to success!" belief.

It's been a year since I started posting on LinkedIn. It's been a good exercise that makes me question my assumptions on "professionalism". It feels good to burn those false beliefs to the ground.

If you are a millennial still attending impostor syndrome workshops - let's take a sobering, deep breath, and realize that you've been doing this for...give or take...20 years. How's it going?

If you think becoming your own boss will free you from the exploitation that you feel in your 9-to-5, you are in for a treat. Hope you like putting your ego through a cheese grater.

By the time you finish University, you are not a "resourceful, problem-oriented thinker, capable of excelling in fast-paced environments, looking to change the world..."
No, you just finished a 16 to 20 year program that teaches you to override all signs of mental and physical protest...

Using social media is my personal "I am looking at the abyss and the abyss is staring at me"
By the abyss I don't mean the lack of engagement or low reach
I mean that this has forced me to look at some ugly stuff that became extremely obvious once I started using social media to promote myself.

any self-talk that is convincing you of your weakness is not your real self talking
it is a story someone told you to keep you in check
what this system wants is your compliance
and it cannot get that from you without destroying your self-perception
the system depends on people self-monitoring

A long time ago I learned the mindset hack about changing your assumptions, but here's the pre-req to make that work:
You have to be in good standing with yourself
Meaning
You cannot self-hate your way to a better outcome
