  • Today we're talking MINDSET CHANGE, how we define success, being brave enough to stand out, enjoying the journey, and loving others. I'm a flawed human who struggles with these things as much as anyone else, but these are 5 sources of inspiration (my favorite books, podcasts, thinkers and youtuber) who motivate me everyday. I've never been more excited to share a video - these are the things that are most important to me. I hope there's something in here to lift you up today.
    ❤️

    Your first point about our jobs and identity and how you feel about it really resonated with me. My fancy job was nothing more than a signal to others that I had made it in some way. They didn't know that I cried every day, I wasn't very good at it, and that my boss treated me horribly. It just mattered that I got to say I was off to the World Bank or setting up a meeting with so and so ambassador. When I left to go back to teaching I didn't want to tell anyone. I felt like I wasted my fancy NYU degree and that I was giving up. BUT, as these stories go, it was the best decision ever. You're such a shining light Caroline. You could do any job and it still wouldn't be the most impressive thing about you. Let your heart and mind believe that! Thanks for another great video.

    I love that you are genuinely annoyed by things on your videos. Most youtubers are so over happy and over positive when they film themselves it makes the viewer think that something is wrong with him. I love that you are real, you do not smile all the time, you are pissed off by things of the day to day life, you are just a real person with positive and negative emotions and this is reassuring to watch. Have a good day!

    I never get excited about an influencer or UA-camr putting out a video but I can honestly say if you had 100s of videos I’d happily watch them all. I really felt for you when you mentioned the bit about getting respect for being a coder and not an artist. As a society we put too much pressure on job titles, for what? That’s not what makes us dignified and valuable, it’s our actions, and morality that do, in my opinion at least 🤷🏽‍♀️

    “Peace is prosperity”-Tony gaskins.
    I went from dental assistant to bus driver, I can relate to the lesser value identity. Funny enough, as a bus driver I make about $8 more per hour and have a pension, I can go to doctor appointments now and I’m not overworked and have a 3 hour lunch break. I never thought I’d have a job that offered me peace! While I love dental assisting and miss it so very much, it was really overburdened, emotionally and physically and financially draining even after almost 20 years experience. I don’t feel proud when I say I’m a school bus driver but peace is prosperity and I’m stickin to it.

    No matter how much work and passion we put into our videos, sometimes they just don't perform well. Loved your reasoning around it in that vlog.

    Mr. Grant is right. Basic food, clothing and shelter are all we really NEED. That is success. The rest is just wants. We can measure our own level of success by the quality of the needs and wants we acquire. If you're unhappy with the quality, or the means to acquire, change is in order.

    The different ways your brain activates when you learn from reading vs hearing or seeing does have value. Working those muscles is important. But yes if you need to absorb most info a certain way, that's the best way for you. But still working on your weaknesses is important vs dismissing reading as a "never" for you.

      It helps if you make notes, too (if your learning is academic, rather than something just for you). The different actions, together, help fix the new information into your working memory.

    Working in tech garnering you more addictive compliments than a creative job like interior designer is BLOWING. MY. MIND. If I met someone at a party who was a coder I would probably politely pretend to be interested. But if you said you're an interior designer?!! Immediately impressed, a little jealous, insanely interested in your and your life. Would want to spend the rest of the evening talking to you.
    I guess it tracks back to a reflection of our own values... I am creative and value creativity more highly than anything else job-wise, not least because success in the arts is more difficult than many other fields. By success, I mean even holding down a steady income. So I suppose I go out into the world expecting others to be impressed by the same things I am. That said, I also want people to know I'm smart. My main frustration is that many people don't consider the arts to require intelligence, when in fact artists can be some of the cleverest people out there, and the most emotionally intelligent too.

Anywho, thank you for providing such great words of wisdom through your favorite motivational go-to’s.

You speak things that are in my head that I never hear from anyone else. So glad I discovered your channel.

    (Recently subscribed. I originally found you because I heard the term cottagecore, had no idea what that was so searched UA-cam for various videos about it to learn more about the esthetic). Found you. Decided your personality is my new best friend and spirit animal . Went thru your entire library and saved about 15 videos on my watch list which I've only gotten half thru so far. 😁 That being said, I've seen you mention about you career changes and the difficulties in going from actor to coder, ect and what is says or doesn't say about you... and I just totally related. At 50, I've had multiple jobs, and career changes. Including in my late 40s. And what I've learned is that creative types are often Renaissance Souls. I heard that term from a book about people like us that explore various interests and often will leap from one skill, craft, trade, career, ect to another. And can actually be quite good at several of them. And whether you realize it or not, those various skills you learn along the way inform or aide the next phase. Your acting and coding seem completely unrelated.... yet you merge aspects of each of those careers along with other jobs to perform the UA-cam career. It's fascinating the way it works. There are several terms for people like us. Renaissance Souls, Multipassionates, ect. Reading about it helps me see the benefits of being willing to pivot and follow new directions and add new skills to our lifetime toolbox.
    As far as telling people you are a coder.... you are not "a coder". You are an Actor, Coder, Designer, Content Creator.... all at once. It doesn't matter if you've chosen to not CURRENTLY act. You, due to the skills and networking you've previously established, are still an Actor, as well as a Coder, Designer, ect. Those skills and talents didn't go away. And you always have the right and option to return to it some day. Embrace that. We are more than the title of our current paychecks. We are all the combined skills and talents we've developed thru the years.

    I'm at a point in my life where I'm hesitating between choosing a career for the passion and meaning that will change something in this world, or choosing a career I excel at, for good money, that will give me the lifestyle I'm aiming for. These suggestions will for sure help me to start my decision process. Thank you Caroline ❤️

    I had to give up my nursing career when my father died and I took over part of his business. My self esteem took a double hit. Nursing fulfilled my values (that’s good). Nursing was also external validation about how smart and caring and compassionate I was. I was a specialist so was all the more cool. With all that gone I have been lost. I’m financially better off beyond my dreams, but I still don’t really know who I am.

    This is one of my favorites of your videos! It made me feel so comforted after feeling low/depressed bc it reminded me there's always an eventual upswing where things get easier and more joyful as I gain more skills and appreciation for living my life. I've been frustrated by the cyclical nature of this growth process lately, but this was something I needed to hear.

    I just absolutely love your content, delivery, and how genuinely funny you are. I have recently retired and planning on a new journey. A passion since I was in my 20’s. I love antiques and having fun thrifting. As everyone says, “the thrill of the hunt”. I love design and everything that has to do with the home, organizing, unique items, quality furnishings and beautiful things. You speak to my heart and soul. I feel we have way too much in common as well. I was an actress in high school and college. I never took it to another level professionally like you did. I went the cautious real estate route and had a nice career, but so ready for my new adventure. You are giving me the aspiration and additional motivation I need.
    Thanks Caroline, I’ll be watching and enjoying everyday!

    I love this video! Lots of new people to check out! I'm familiar with Paige's channel, but hearing you talk about her is really interesting. I feel like you were able to capture what makes her so unique and why I keep coming back to her channel long after I stopped watching other design channels. She isn't afraid to hurt your feelings. I love that. Some of what she likes is too far out for me, but her tips for creating balance and whatnot are applicable to every design style imo. I feel like I get a similar type of information from your channel. I might not buy the same decor, but your ideas and tips make me rethink the way I put things together and question the "rules" I've been hearing from other designers.
    I would love another list like this!
