We know what it’s like to feel stuck — not because you lack motivation, but because no one ever handed you the user manual for how your mind actually works.
We're not psychologists in white coats. We’re a real-life couple who turned our fascination with personality into a decade-long journey of decoding how humans really grow.

Why We Started This Work
We didn’t start Personality Hacker because life was easy.
We built it because our lives had fallen apart.
“We rebuilt from scratch after everything had fallen apart.”
When we met both of our lives had collapsed — just in different ways.
Joel was separated from his family, isolated and grieving the sudden disconnection from his children. Antonia had been cast out of a belief system that once shaped her identity. Both of us were told, in different ways: you don’t belong anymore.
“We followed the rules. We still got broken.”
We’d done everything “right.” We followed the playbook given to us. We showed up for others. We tried to do the right thing and fit in with the expectations.
But despite that, we found ourselves exiled, uncertain, and questioning everything.
We faced pain and paralyzing weight of uncertainty.
“Then we found the map of personality types, Carl Jung’s cognitive functions & shadow work.”
When we discovered Carl Jung’s deeper personality system — the cognitive functions of personality, the ancient archetypes, the deep inner shadow — everything clicked.
For the first time, we had language for what we were experiencing. We understood why we did what we did. We stopped pathologizing ourselves… and started seeing our wiring with clarity and compassion.
We started the process of living life differently… in ways that made sense and aligned with our natural mental wiring and personalities.
“We stopped searching for certainty. We started embracing growth.”
It was from a challenging place that Personality Hacker was born. We wanted to help people who were struggling like we had been. So we started to record podcasts. We started to create training programs. We began coaching real clients through some of the toughest life moments.
And we want help you too. Let’s work together to decode your inner personality wiring, break free from old limiting beliefs, and design a life that actually fits You.
“It’s your life, design it for your personality.”

The Personality Hacker Approach Is Targeted To Actually Improve Your Daily Life & Deliver Results
There’s a lot of personality type content out there — memes, stereotypes, quick quizzes…
But we go deeper.
We integrate practical psychology, neuroscience, shadow work, and systems thinking.
We teach Jungian cognitive functions, not just four-letter types.
Our work isn’t about labeling you.It’s about giving you tools to understand, grow, and lead — from the inside out.
Backed by Science, Licensed Clinical Therapists, Depth Psychology & Real-World Practice
At Personality Hacker, we don’t just talk about personality — we’ve collaborated directly with leading researchers, licensed clinical therapists, coaches, and Jungian theorists to deepen and validate our work.

Dr. Dario Nardi
Neuroscientist • Author • Former UCLA Professor
Dr. Nardi has used EEG brain imaging to study personality in real-time. His work shows that the brain patterns behind personality type can be measured — confirming what Jung hypothesized a century ago.
“The once ‘soft science’ of personality now has hard data behind it.”
We’ve partnered with Dr. Nardi to bring this research into our trainings, including live EEG demonstrations at our events and an ongoing course series called Personality Tools of the Future.

Dr. John Beebe
Jungian Analyst • Author • Pioneer of the 8-Function Model
Dr. Beebe’s work has shaped our understanding of the shadow functions and archetypal dynamics inside type. He developed the 8-function model that gives personality type psychological depth, nuance, and emotional reality.
“It’s not just about your ‘best self’ — it’s about integrating the parts of you you’ve hidden.”
Our ongoing collaboration with Dr. Beebe has deeply influenced our Personality Profiler Training method, Personality Card Decks, and archetypal shadow work.
This is not pop psychology.This is type you can feel, see, and use.
