Clarity on Fire

Dear Krachel: How do I stop blaming myself when things go wrong at work?


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 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 her late 20's who likes a lot of the perks of teaching (predictable schedule, steady pay, job security, great benefits, and summers off to name a few), but who feels mentally and emotionally drained at the end of the work day. She doesn't necessarily want to have to change careers, but how possible is it for a Thriver to make a demanding job like this work?

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