Dear Krachel: My lifelong dream came true … and I feel nothing. Help!

Clarity on Fire

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:

• Early Entrepreneur, who’s torn between taking it slower in her business-building efforts so that she can enjoy her lifestyle, or amping up the hustle so that she can make money faster. Isn’t there an inevitable amount of extra work it takes to build a business, anyway? Is it even realistic to think she could grow a business while enjoying a good lifestyle?

• Shelby, who’s gone from being adamantly against the idea of marriage, to now being in favor of it for herself in the future! But how does someone who’s been vocally critical of something turn around and tell her friends and family that she’s changed her mind?

• Nonplussed with myself, who’s recently achieved a lifelong dream after years of work (and many years before that of not even acknowledging her dream was possible). But now that she’s arrived she feels … totally flat. Where are all the feelings of elation and achievement? What’s wrong with her for not being able to feel anything?!
