This is your invitation to decide who the fck you are before the world decides for you. Because $10K days aren't created - they're coded.

Was bleibt, wenn KI unsere Arbeit ersetzt? Finde heraus, wer du bist – jenseits von Leistung, Job und Erfolg. Eine ehrliche Reflexion über Identität & Selbstwert.

You can't call in $10K days when your brain and nervous system still think they're unsafe. Let's get real, big fcking deal - you don't have a money problem. You have a safety problem. Your nervous system has been wired for survival, not overflow. So no matter how many strategies, affirmations, or launches you throw at it - if your body doesn't feel safe receiving big money, it will always reject it. In today's episode, we're breaking the unspoken money rules that have been running your reality. We're unfcking your relationship with money by recoding your body to feel safe in overflow. Because when your energy says, “I trust myself to hold more,” money responds instantly. It's time to build a relationship with money that turns you on instead of turns on your stress response.

Wie baust du dir 2025 noch komplett organisch Reichweite auf – ohne Ads, ohne großen Start? Meine Planbar Sichtbar Kundin Julia Gerner hat's vorgemacht:

If you desire to be the woman who has $10k days...have you DECIDED this is a possibility for you and a reality you can have and hold? $10K days don't come from hustling harder, posting more, or launching more frequently (You've been there, done that.)  They come from powerfully shifting who you are. The $10K Day Code isn't a strategy. It's the frequency big money responds to. It's a recalibration of your identity — to the woman who's already chosen wealth at every level. For the woman ready to embody wealth at a cellular level… The $10k Day Code is where you unlock the identity, energetic strategy, and wealth calibration for $10k days as your new normal.  This is a recalibration of who you are. The woman who walks into a room and money moves toward her. Who moves from certainty. Who speaks with so much conviction that $10K days don't just happen once... they're your new standard. Let's get you KNOWN. Let's get you massively paid. Join the $10K Day Code on presale now!

From Burnout to Boundaries: Redefining Female Leadership in Private EducationIn this deeply honest and emotionally resonant episode, Chanie Wilschanski invites female school leaders into a transformative conversation about the “impossible standard” of leadership in education. She explores the emotional labor women carry, how over-functioning and people-pleasing lead to burnout, and why leading with warmth shouldn't come at the cost of boundaries or energy. Chanie offers practical strategies—and powerful mindset shifts—to help leaders reclaim their authority and redefine what it means to lead well.What You'll LearnThe impact of emotional exhaustion and over-functioning on female school leadersThe “double-bind” dilemma: being warm vs. being decisiveWhy noticing feels like a leadership burden—and how to distribute itHow rescuing becomes reactive leadership disguised as delegationThe importance of identity work, not just strategy, to break burnout cyclesHow to create rhythms, boundaries, and systems that protect your warmthSimple journaling prompts to rethink your leadership postureKey Insights1. Emotional Labor HurtsWomen in school leadership hold not only logistical responsibility but also the emotional pulse of the building—staff, parents, students. This leads to heightened emotional exhaustion compared to male counterparts.2. Warming Doesn't Mean WeaknessHormonal responses like “tend-and-befriend” push women to soothe and rescue rather than set boundaries and enforce standards. Warmth is powerful… until it becomes draining without structure.3. Rescue ≠ DelegationBringing in supplies or stepping in during a lesson might feel supportive—but if not shared, it's rescuing. True leadership distributes responsibility and builds capacity.4. “Noticing” Is the Hidden LoadYou see the trash that won't get emptied, the subtle shift in energy… and you carry it. That invisible “20%” needs leadership, not martyrdom. Build systems so teams learn to see.5. Boundaries Honor the MissionWarmth becomes weaponized when it's the only way you've learned to lead. When boundaries are in place, you're not being cold—you're protecting your mission from burnout.6. Identity Shifts MatterYour strategy is useless if your identity isn't aligned. If “rescue leader” stays in your identity, you'll recreate burnout cycles—even with perfect systems.Memorable Quotes“You were meant to build a school that holds you.” – Chanie Wilschanski“Excellence is built through rhythm, not martyrdom.” – Chanie WilschanskiWhy It Matters for School LeadersReclaim your authority and energyBuild team culture around shared responsibility, not dependencePrevent burnout through healthy boundaries and accountability systemsShift mental load so your presence enhances, not depletes, the communityResources & Lead MagnetExplore Leadership HQ coaching for ongoing support - schoolsofexcellence.com/consultSubscribe for future episodes on leadership rhythms, emotional clarity, and strategic systemsAbout Chanie Wilschanski & Schools of ExcellenceChanie Wilschanski leads Schools of Excellence with a passion for cultivating soulful, effective leadership through intentional rhythms.

Career success takes a status boost, not a power grab.How do you chart the career course you've always imagined? According to Alison Fragale, it's about gaining influence through status, power, and ultimately, being “a likeable badass.”As a research psychologist, professor, speaker, and author, Fragale is on a mission to help women take control of their careers. In her book Likeable Badass: How Women Get the Success They Deserve, she argues that most people have it backwards when pursuing career advancement. "We have talked for a long time [about] getting more power," she explains. However, by focusing first on achieving status (how respected we are), power will often come as a natural byproduct. "If you pursue status before, or at least alongside power, everything is going to fall into place," she says. “Status makes power a lot easier to achieve, and it makes power a lot easier to use.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, hosted by executive producer Jenny Luna, Fragale explores the communication strategies of a likeable badass, from building warmth and assertiveness to authentically connecting with colleagues. Whether you're building relationships in a new company or have been leading one for years, Fragale's insights will help you command respect while communicating with kindness.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premiumEpisode Reference Links:Alison FragaleAlison's Book: Likeable BadassJenny LunaEp.12 It's Not What You Say, It's How You Say It: How To Communicate PowerEp.15 The Art of Negotiation: How to Get More of What You Want  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:21) - Defining Power and Status (05:26) - Why Status Comes Before Power (06:19) - Communication Techniques to Build Status (09:27) - Evaluating Your Habits: Nonverbal and Verbal Cues (11:21) - Mentorship in Developing Communication (13:13) - Adapting to a New Work Culture (18:41) - Representing Difference Without Distance (19:49) - Overcoming Bad First Impressions (21:47) - The Final Three Question (25:32) - Conclusion    *****This episode is brought to you by Babbel.
