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.

“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...

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...

Message from the Universe: Step aside and watch what happens next
Clarity on Fire
Need a little clarity, guidance, or just a fun pick-me-up? 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...
info_outlineWelcome 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 (which never solves her problems, anyway). How can she possibly improve her life under such confining circumstances?
- Renee, who works in large organization with a pretty rigid hierarchy. Her boss’ boss is rude, condescending, abrasive, and judgmental to almost everyone, Renee included. Except she needs this higher-up to at least kind of like her if she wants to get promoted. How do you build a relationship with someone who wants nothing to do with you?
- Maddy, who in recent years has worked on developing her intuition and has gotten better at following nudges and signs. But now she’s wondering, does she need to act on every nudge? How do you tell which intuitive hits are worth acting on, and what might just be shiny objects you’re mistaking for intuition?
Come leave a comment after you’ve listened to share how our advice for these listeners resonated with you!
LAST DAY TO SIGN UP FOR COACHING!
If you’re relating a little too hard to this episode – maybe you’re burned out and need a change but can’t imagine how you’d find the energy or know-how to make it happen on your own –well, that’s what 1:1 coaching is for!
It takes you from doubt, confusion, and burnout to confidence, clarity, and fulfillment in a matter of months.
And the best part? You don’t have to think about how to get from Point A to Point B – we already know how.
If that sounds like a massive relief, then let’s chat!
We’re accepting applications for new 1:1 coaching clients –– something we only do a few times per year –– until the end of TODAY, Friday, May 3rd.
- We have very limited space, so apply ASAP if you don’t want to get wait-listed.
- This is for people interested in getting started in the next 4-6 weeks.
- We’re offering both 3-month & 6-month options. You can explore the difference here.
- 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.
Fill out the interest form here and one of us will be in touch ASAP to schedule a chat with you!
Found us after May 3rd? Fill out the form and we’ll add you to our waitlist and let you know when we have availability. 😄
