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?
