“Failing at life” & retreating to Italy with Susanne Reichert
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...

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...

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...
info_outlineIn case you missed it, last week we announced that we’re taking a podcasting hiatus!
If you’re new-ish to Clarity on Fire – or have been around for a while but want to introduce new people to us – that gives you an excellent opportunity to catch up on our almost-400 episodes.
Buuuut we also know that’s a LOT of content and you might be overwhelmed! 😅 So, we’re making it easy for you (or your friends) to know where to start.
Here’s where we recommend starting if you’re new to Clarity on Fire:
- Before you do anything else, take (or re-take!) the Passion Profile Quiz. It’s designed to help you pinpoint the intersection between your career and passions in a way that LITERALLY NO ONE ELSE ever talks about.
- After that, if you want to dive in to Passion Profiles on a deeper level, sign up for our free on-demand workshop: 3 Steps to Take Your Career from Stuck to Clear, Using Your Passion Profile
- Listen to the 10 podcast episodes we list below, in that order!
If you’re new, have fun diving in! And if you’re a longtime fan, we’d love it if you forwarded this to someone who needs a little help getting unstuck and finding direction + fulfillment. ✨
