Clarity on Fire

Dear Krachel: I lost ALL the progress I thought I'd made. What now?!


Listen Later

Happy New Year! We're starting off 2021 right with a brand-new 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:

  • Diana, who made a load of personal progress last year, but after a period of time woke up one day somehow back in the same old stuck place she was before. Does that mean she never made progress at all? What gives?!
  • Good & Poor, who had the guts to ask for a raise and got unexpectedly denied. Worse, her boss heavily implied that she should be "grateful for what she has," as if it's shameful to ask for more. How can she let go of the guilt for wanting to earn more money?
  • Trying not to be desperate, who is turning 34 and feeling panicked about not yet having a spouse or children, which she very much wants. Friends keep telling her "it'll happen when she stops trying," but her desperation won't allow her to stop trying. What do you do when letting go of a lifelong dream feels impossible?

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