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:

• Higher Thoughts, who's in a "mental breakdown, rock bottom, everything spiral out of control" phase … how do they regain focus and positivity when everything is falling apart?
• Tasha, whose passion is cooking and whose dream is to open her own restaurant. But she's done research into what it takes to become a chef, and the low pay, long hours, and weekend work is making her think again. Should she pursue her dream anyway and ignore the disadvantages?
• Loving Shiny Objects, who can't seem to stop bouncing from one amazing opportunity to the next, often before they finish the last thing they started. How do they tame their incessant fascination with everything and actually decide what to pursue?

We also got an update from Murphy's Law, a listener who wrote us back in April of last year when she was in a phase where everything was going wrong—listen in to hear how things turned out!

And come leave a comment after you've listened to share how our advice for these listeners resonated with you!
