    15/03/2024 Duración: 52min

    A while back I was scrolling on Instagram and came across a post by a well-known personal development guru. What I read ENRAGED me.   So much so, in fact, that my ensuing rant lasted for almost an hour – and now you get to hear it on the podcast.

  • What happens when you work against your Passion Profile with Joanna Platt

    08/03/2024 Duración: 01h35s

    I was on the phone recently with my and Kristen’s friend Joanna (who’s appeared on the podcast a time or two before!), who was telling me about exhausted and demoralized she’s been about her career lately.    Joanna’s Passion Profile is Collaborator, which means the thing she values above everything else is connection and, well, collaboration. Except she’s been trying for 5 years to run a business … by herself.    It became clear as we were talking that her career woes are almost certainly a result of working out of alignment with her Passion Profile for so long.   Before we hung up she said, “If you ever want me to come on the podcast to talk about this, I totally would!” And hey, I’m not one to turn down a good guest!    So, listen in to this month’s brand-new episode with a normal person, where Joanna and I get into:    How she got tunnel vision around her career, and blocked out signs that the path she was going down might not be right for her Why having the freedom to whatever she wanted, whenever she w

    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:   Pondering in CA, who’s worked in corporate marketing for 15 years and dreads going to work every day. She wants to pivot into real estate … but should she be wary of making such a big transition this far into her career?   Val, who will have the opportunity to leave a stressful job and retire – but not for another 5 years. She wants to have a plan for what to do with her life once she reaches that milestone, but how and when does someone start planning for something so far down the road?   Lisa, a textbook Side Hustler who’s been contemplating a transition into a wide array of paths, from data analytics, to yoga instructor, to math teacher, to medical doctor, to therapist. Should she pick a direction and run with it, or is the

  • Job searching in a tough market with Emily Liou

    23/02/2024 Duración: 01h15min

    If you’re looking for a job right now, there’s no way it’s escaped your notice that it’s rough out there.   We keep hearing stories from friends and clients about how the current job market is unlike anything they’ve ever seen before.    From applying to hundreds of jobs and getting ZERO interviews, to being completely overlooked despite being incredibly qualified, to seeing literally thousands of people apply to a job you’re interested in … it’s feeling REALLY difficult and demoralizing right now.   Which is why we knew we had to bring our friend and job search coach Emily back on the podcast (for the fourth time!) to get her take on job searching in 2024.    So, listen in as Emily and the two of us dive into …   Why so many SUPER qualified candidates are being overlooked The discrepancy between what the media is reporting – There’s a labor shortage! It’s so hard to find good employees! –  versus how hard it is for most job seekers to actually get hired How AI and ChatGPT are affecting your chances of being

  • Getting what you want even when it feels impossible with Kayla Neitzel

    09/02/2024 Duración: 01h03min

    I’ve loved every minute of every interview with a normal person I’ve ever had the pleasure to do – there’s something so gratifying about getting to share the trials and tribulations that everyday people have overcome, as well as the revelations and breakthroughs they’ve had (that can hopefully help inspire other people on a similar journey).   But every once in a while a normal person interview comes along that I’m practically itching for you to hear … and that’s this one, with my client Kayla!   Kayla and I had a conversation that you’re going to deeply relate to AND I predict will give you hope.    Listen in as Kayla and I talk about …   Getting to the bottom of a decade-long pattern of terrible burnout and even more terrible bosses Why understanding her attachment style helped her heal her unhealthy relationship to her career Being convinced that things were never going to work out … and how nice it was to be proven wrong about that, in the end   Come leave a comment after you’ve listened to share how Ka

    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:   Sabrina, who wants to have a better, more trusting relationship with the Universe, but who’s struggling with a lot of anxiety. What happens if it’s “divine will” that she loses her job or that her relationship ends?   Erin, a woman in her mid-30s who’s been single her entire life. She knows she wants a healthy relationship and marriage one day, but she can’t bring herself to date. How can she identify – and get over – the mental block she has around dating?   To Bail or Not to Bail, who works at a company that’s recently undergone several rounds of layoffs. Should she take this is a sign to focus on finding her dream job, or is it a better idea to get a bridge job for now?   Come leave a comment after you’ve listened to share

  • Overcoming fear of literally everything with Mary Cardenas

    19/01/2024 Duración: 01h43min

    When I first met Mary, she was at a near-breaking point.    She’d pivoted from one industry to the next, over and over again, and was no closer to career satisfaction.    She was incredibly burned out from a job that expected her to handle more than one person’s workload in a day (and where she never, EVER took a lunch break).    And she was scared of everything, even reasonable things––taking her daily lunch, asking for a work-from-home day (at a company where other people worked remotely), setting boundaries around her time.   In this month’s brand-new interview with a normal person, Mary and I get into …     Why she ended up so terrified of literally everything How things started to make sense once I told her she was suffering from “vulnerability intolerance” The small shifts she made that helped her go from petrified 24/7 to living a life of ease, peace, and creativity Our shared thoughts about how fear shows up in dating, in particular, and how we both overcome that And SO much more!   Come leave a com

  • From totally shut down to feeling your feelings again with Amanda Johnson

    09/06/2023 Duración: 01h30min

    For most of her life, Amanda Johnson excelled at being “the good girl.”    She was a stellar student who knew how to play by the rules, whether that was in school, at church, or with friends or family.    She implicitly understood what was acceptable, and what wasn’t, so she followed the prescription for a successful life: Go to college, major in something respectable and useful, get a good job, get married, have 2 children, get an MBA, move up the career ladder.   Until one day, almost like coming out of a coma, she said she “woke up in the middle of a life.” She’d built an entire life, and wasn’t sure how she’d done it, or whether she’d truly chosen any of it consciously.   And then the real work began.   Listen in as Amanda and Rachel get into…   What it means to be living a “good girl” kind of life, and what happened when Amanda decided to be “bad,” instead How she started to access her true feelings and opinions again, after a live lived mostly on autopilot Amanda’s 180-degree career pivot, and how she

    02/06/2023 Duración: 37min

    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:   Carley, who’s tried several jobs that promise the Thriver lifestyle, but don’t fulfill her or allow her to work on her terms. How can she tell if she’s turning into a trailblazer who could manage self-employment, or if she’s just surpassed her tolerance to work for “self-absorbed nincompoomps?!”    Courntey, who recently took a huge risk by leaving her (very well paid) job for a new opportunity, but now she’s 3 months in and has huge regrets. She absolutely cannot go back, so how can she stay focused on her new path despite the fact that she can’t stop thinking about her old job?     Eva, whose major ambition is to have a job where she can finish what’s expected of her in a couple hours, then have plenty of time left for a lif

  • Side Chat: How attachment theory plays out at work

    19/05/2023 Duración: 57min

    Back in March we hit you with a major episode about our new favorite book, Good Inside by Dr. Becky Kennedy.   On the surface, the book is about parenting. But as we were reading, we couldn’t help but notice just how much what we were learning applied to WORK, too.    So, in this brand-new Side Chat we sat down to talk about one pattern, in particular – something that’s probably affecting every single person who will hear this episode:   How your childhood wounds, blueprints, and unhealthy patterns play out in your career in adulthood.   Listen in as we chat about…   A refresher on what Attachment Theory is, and why it’s super relevant to your career The patterns and connections that most people are missing between childhood history and present-day career issues MANY examples of how our clients have seen their unhealthy patterns play out at work, and how we helped them heal, up-level, and move on   Come leave a comment after you’ve listened to share how this one resonated with you!   APPLY TO WORK WITH US 1

  • A minor pivot into a major dream life with normal person V.

    12/05/2023 Duración: 01h13min

    A couple of years ago, my client (who we’re very mysteriously dubbing) “V” felt quite literally trapped.   The pandemic was still raging and she was working for a company whose workload and hours were so demanding that the only time she went outside every day was for her dog. Otherwise, it was a wake up/work/eat sometimes/work until midnight or later/repeat kind of situation.   She dreamed of a life somewhere abroad – maybe in Europe or Latin America – where she could wake up slowly, meditate for 30 minutes, make a leisurely breakfast, and maybe even take a walk! Where she could take her time on her work, rather than juggling too many projects at once and being hounded by constant meetings.   Maybe after work she’d go to dinner with friends, go take a ceramics class, or have time to date some beautiful men!   It sounds like something out of a movie, and it did to V, too … back then. Except now, V lives in Spain and that daydream is her life. She made it happen in less than a year! And it wasn’t nearly as hard

  • Dear Krachel: How can I tell if I’m in deep denial?

    05/05/2023 Duración: 47min

    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:   Supportive but Struggling, who’s been struggling with her mental health while watching close friends move on to new phases of life. How can she be a good friend and support their milestones without bringing more loneliness and sadness on herself?   Priya, a self-admitted over-thinker who’s worried that she might be in denial about why she re-downloaded dating apps. Is there an uncomfortable truth she’s refusing to see? And how do we even begin to untangle the difference between fearful thoughts and our intuition?   We also got a very interesting update from Ready to Rebel, who wrote to us back in June of 2022 to ask if it was possible to have both freedom and stability in our careers!
