Release Date: 04/21/2023
Exploring the nervous system with Amanda Johnson
Clarity on Fire
It’s the fifth Friday of the month, which means this should be a “bonus book club” episode––it isn’t, but it’s also not NOT a book club episode, either. 🙃😂 During our last book club conversation about Attached with Amanda Johnson – our friend, fellow coach, and all-around expert on attachment theory – we said that we wanted to have Amanda back on the podcast to have an episode devoted completely to the nervous system. So, that’s what we did! Amanda is back on the podcast this month to help us explore all facets of the nervous system, using one...

Side Chat: Is trauma unconsciously influencing your career choices?
Clarity on Fire
You know we can’t resist a good Instagram post—and maybe even (and having a grand time doing it)! A friend DM’d us recently from Caroline Middelsdorf, a coach and psychologist, about how your childhood trauma might be covertly influencing your career choices. Naturally, we decided to dissect our reaction to this theory on the podcast! So, listen in as we chat about… Three major career fields, and the childhood backstory you might have if you ended up in those industries How much credence you should give to this theory, and when it might not be impacting...

Trusting things will work out (even when life goes sideways) with Sarah Tucker
Clarity on Fire
You know what I’m tired of? Neat, tidy stories of success that tie everything in a bow by the end and make life look a little too simple. To be fair, we’ve published our fair share of stories like that on this podcast! But this year, we’ve made a big effort to showcase “normal person” stories that are very much still unfolding–because when it comes to your actual life, the story is never done. There’s always a new twist, a new drama, or something else you haven’t achieved yet. Which is why I’m really excited to share my client Sarah’s story with you!...

Dear Krachel: How do I improve my life without changing jobs again?
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: Blue Millennial, who is still only just scraping by financially after 10 years in the working world. The hobby that brings her joy is traveling, but she can’t afford it very often. She doesn’t have the energy to take on a side gig for extra income, and she doesn’t want to switch jobs yet again...

Then today’s your day, because we’re back (only a month after our last MFTU episode––surprise!) with another Message from the Universe episode. ✨🔮 As usual, we pulled a few cards from deck by Colette Baron-Reid. One or all has a message for you — come find out what it is! Today’s message felt kind of feisty, but in a great way. 👀 After you listen, to share how this one spoke to you! And don’t forget… ONE MORE WEEK TO TALK TO US ABOUT 1:1 COACHING! If you’re...

Side Chat: When it’s OK (and when it isn’t) to have no goals
Clarity on Fire
A few weeks ago, one of Rachel’s clients asked a GREAT question (well, series of questions) that was immediately deserving of its own podcast episode. We love when that happens. When is it okay to NOT have goals? Is it ever acceptable? If so, under what circumstances?? So, listen in as we chat about… How to figure out if feeling aimless/directionless is actually a problem, or maybe something you should be letting happen (for now) When it’s best to set goals and when it’s okay to let them slide The difference between goals and intentions How goal-setting ties into...

Dear Krachel: I’ve quit 3 jobs in the last year! How do I break the cycle?
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: Guilty Thriver, who’s 4 months pregnant with her first baby and wants to be a stay at home mom. Her husband makes plenty of money and is happy to support her desire, but she can’t get over her guilt for “only” contributing to the family on the domestic front. How can she embrace this decision and...

Bonus Book Club! Attached by Amir Levine & Rachel S.F. Heller
Clarity on Fire
Calling all fellow bookworms, library nerds, and general lovers of literature — it’s time for another book club episode of the podcast! Whenever there are five Fridays in a month, we devote the extra Friday to a book that we can’t get enough of. It was WAY overdue for us to dedicate a book club episode to attachment theory, considering how much we’ve talked about it on the podcast in the last year. So, this month, we’re cracking open Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment And How It Can Help You Find––And Keep––Love. But wait,...

info_outlineA few weeks ago I was on a call with one of my current clients, Danielle, who’s actively looking for new jobs so that she can finally get out of a job that’s been draining her for a long time.
Like a lot of people in her situation, Danielle is a little worried that she’s going to lose sight of what matters – that she’ll be perusing job postings and get confused about what makes sense for her and what doesn’t, or that she’ll end up in an interview and get dazzled by talk, but won’t recognize a truly bad fit.
So, to help her stay calm, confident, and focused on what she wants – a job that’s going to be a great fit for her Passion Profile, which is Thriver – we came up with a few filter questions she can ask herself as she considers any new possibility.
It was so helpful for her that I decided everyone could use a list like hers … so, that’s what Kristen and I came up with!
In this month’s brand-new Side Chat, we share the top 3 questions you should ask yourself, according to your Passion Profile, when looking for a new job (or even when you’re hoping to improve the job you already have).
Here’s a sneak peek of a few of the questions we came up with:
- How bought into the mission of this company/role do I feel?
- How much of an impact will this job allow me to have?
- What is going to support my ideal lifestyle?
- How open is the work culture to new ideas?
Listen in to the episode to find out which Profile the questions above are paired with, and to hear the full list of filter questions!
