A cautionary tale about using AI as your therapist with Amanda Johnson & Chelsea Jewel
Clarity on Fire
A curious pattern emerged within the last year: People — usually friends or coaching clients — keep coming to us, almost sheepishly, and “confessing” that they sometimes use AI (particularly ChatGPT) for emotional support. The thing is … we’ve used it for emotional support, too! AI has a lot of qualities that make it less messy than your average human. It’s a great listener, it’s endlessly patient, and it has access to an infinite amount of knowledge and potential solutions. Plus, using it is (sadly) a LOT cheaper than what you’d pay your average therapist or coach. But...

Dear Krachel: How do I believe in a better future when I keep getting rejected and disappointed?
Clarity on Fire
Welcome to another episode of Dear Krachel (our first since June of 2024!), our advice segment where we answer listener questions about life, career, relationships, existential angst, and anything that helps you become a more whole, fulfilled version of yourself. This month we answered questions from two listeners who are both questioning what went “wrong” in their lives, how to recover from deep disappointment, and how the future can be better: Bottledottle, a medical school student who doesn’t know if she wants to be a doctor anymore, and who is deeply afraid that she wasted...

What if productivity could feel feminine? With Jamie Knight
Clarity on Fire
“If I didn’t love you, I would hate you.” That’s a direct quote that escaped my mouth while recording this episode with my former client, Jamie Knight. 😆 Jamie inspires such intensity because she’s recovering from being that girl. You know, the cheer captain and valedictorian of her high school class. Got a bachelor’s and master’s degree at the same time, and had a 4.0 in both. Had a top-tier job offer before she even started her last semester of college. Ran half marathons, for fun! Excelled in her career and made absurdly good money by anyone’s...

We’re back! And spilling the tea about the last 15 months
Clarity on Fire
Heyyyy! Did you miss us? Or maybe completely forgot we existed and went on with your life? (Valid, if so). Perhaps you felt a small void in your life where conversations between two friends about all things life and career used to be, that you haven’t been able to fill in the last 15 months. If that’s the case, we have GREAT news for you: The Clarity on Fire Podcast is back! If you’ll recall, we went on hiatus back in June of 2024, mostly because life had taken some wild twists and turns. There’s a LOT to share about what’s happened since then. So, listen is...

“Failing at life” & retreating to Italy with Susanne Reichart
Clarity on Fire
In the last few years my client Susanne went from having a very normal, run-of-the-mill career to relocating to Italy, renovating a beautiful property, and opening a retreat space (she calls it a “thinker’s residence”) for creative people who long for peace and quiet to work on their most important projects. Getting to help Susanne take this dream from vision to reality has been a highlight of my last few years as a coach, and I’m so excited to finally get to share her story with all of you! Listen in to this month’s brand-new interview with a normal person, where...

Dear Krachel: How do I stop blaming myself when things go wrong at work?
Clarity on Fire
Welcome to another episode of Dear Krachel, our monthly advice segment where we answer listener questions about life, career, relationships, existential angst, and anything that helps you become a more whole, fulfilled version of yourself. This month we answered questions from two listeners, who both happen to be teachers (but their issues are relevant to all of us)! Worry Worm, whose confidence takes a hit whenever her students don’t meet their expected results. Is she bad at what she does, or are the kids slacking off? Tired Thriver, an elementary school teacher in...
info_outlineA couple of years ago, my client (who we’re very mysteriously dubbing) “V” felt quite literally trapped.
The pandemic was still raging and she was working for a company whose workload and hours were so demanding that the only time she went outside every day was for her dog. Otherwise, it was a wake up/work/eat sometimes/work until midnight or later/repeat kind of situation.
She dreamed of a life somewhere abroad – maybe in Europe or Latin America – where she could wake up slowly, meditate for 30 minutes, make a leisurely breakfast, and maybe even take a walk! Where she could take her time on her work, rather than juggling too many projects at once and being hounded by constant meetings.
Maybe after work she’d go to dinner with friends, go take a ceramics class, or have time to date some beautiful men!
It sounds like something out of a movie, and it did to V, too … back then. Except now, V lives in Spain and that daydream is her life. She made it happen in less than a year! And it wasn’t nearly as hard as you’d think.
Listen in as we chat about …
- Why V thought she needed to leave her industry entirely to start a new life
- How the shifts she needed to make were actually a LOT smaller than she expected
- How she overcame a lot of false assumptions and interpretations that had been keeping her stuck
- What her new life in Spain looks like
Come leave a comment after you’ve listened to share how V’s journey resonated with you!
APPLY TO WORK WITH US 1:1!
There comes a point where you’re ready to stop hoping things will change and start knowing they will.
You’re probably very clear about what you don’t want out of your life and career, but know you need to dive a whole lot deeper into what you do want.
You might be a little nervous about the prospect of massive change … but at this point in your life, you deeply understand that the only real risk is not changing.
If you want individual attention, someone to hold you accountable, and the benefit of our substantial experience focused solely on you, then we’ve got good news:
We’re CURRENTLY accepting applications for new coaching clients!
We officially open doors for new clients just a few times per year, so if now feels like the right time, let’s talk.
- We have space for maybe 10 clients, so act quickly if you think this could be for you.
- This is for people interested in getting started in May or June.
- We’ve temporarily brought back the option of doing 3 months of coaching, rather than the traditional 6!
- You don’t have to know for sure that you want to move ahead with coaching. You just have to be serious enough about it to want to have a conversation.
