Clarity on Fire

Dear Krachel: How do I avoid justifying my life & career choices to others?


Listen Later

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:

  • Anonymous, a sensitive and empathic person who people at work often pick on (sometimes very publicly) because she's an easy target. What's the best way to handle bullies in the workplace?

  • Unfulfilled in Ohio, a highly credentialed professional whose job is literally and figuratively killing him. He's never been an entrepreneur but has two potential opportunities he could explore. If both would be equally fulfilling, but one makes some use of his credentials and the other doesn't, how does he decide which to do? Is it possible to start two businesses at once?

  • Marina, who is thinking of re-entering the workforce after staying home with her kids (and getting a Master's degree, NBD) for the last few years. How can she let her gifts and talents take center stage and avoid justifying her chosen path?

We also got a VERY interesting update from Bummed Entrepreneur, who wrote to us back in August of last year asking for help figuring out why she still felt so unfulfilled after getting what she wanted. You've got to hear what happened next! đź‘€
