Welcome to another episode of Dear Krachel, a monthly advice segment where we answer audience questions about life, career, relationships, existential angst, and anything that helps you become a more whole, fulfilled version of yourself. On this episode, we’re answering questions from: Jade, a college sophomore who feels like she’s doing her college experience “wrong” by not being able to pick a major. Since she can’t decide, does it matter if she just picks something that has a lot of potential to make her good money after she graduates? Nurse Grumpy, who’s so fed up with being a nurse that she feels like she’s lost all patience and compassion for the people she’s supposed to be helping. She’s tried therapy, job hopping, and taking time off, but nothing has cured her resentment. How can she find fulfillment again when, in all honesty, she’s tired of pretending like she cares? Ms. Pissed Off, a 30-year-old with a partner of 4 years who is SO OVER people asking her when she’s going to get married. Why do people constantly feel the need to butt in to the life choices of others? And how does she figure out if she actually wants to get married, if people around her won’t shut up about it? After you’ve listened, leave us a comment to let us know how our advice for these three listeners resonated with you! Want to submit a question for our March episode of Dear Krachel?

On this episode, we go deep on the concepts in Ashley Sutton's book Overtime is SO Over and how to get your life back when work starts to dominate your time. Ashley calls it like it is and tells the truth about overtime. Ashley busts the myths related to why you don’t have work life balance - and it may be YOU. If you are headed towards corporate burnout or have suffered major challenges, then listen to Ashley’s advice. She’s out speaking about this topic that is often not talked about in the corporate world and why you need to know your worth.

Episode 20 is here! How to overcome the pressures of working overtime! It's the 20th episode!! I can't believe it! I just want to thank you for listening - I do not take it lightly at all. Spending 30-45 minutes with this podcast shows me that you all want to be the best women you can be just like I do and that I'm not alone out here in these mom streets. Today's episode is for all of the working moms - most of us have been in a position where we think we have to do it all - especially at work so that we can get that promotion, get that award or recognition, prove our worth in the workplace. As moms, you may have a sense that you are not viewed the same as childless or single employees, because you have home obligations - so to compensate, your work extra hours and stay late. Or come in early, or answer emails before bed. Whatever you do, you are not alone. But, you don't have to do this. There are ways to prioritize, say no!, get your work done, and go home happier and not so exhausted from living a life of all work and no play. Ashley Sutton is my guest, she is the author of Overtime is SO Over, Leave the Office and Get Your Life Back. She gives her personal experiences and research to share how to overcome those ideas of needing to always be available for your employer and always putting in the most time. Those thoughts are a battle and she gives some easy wins on how to stop putting yourself in this position. [bctt tweet="It's not about saying no, it's about saying not right now and prioritizing what you need to get done - Ashley Sutton" username="Mommifaceted"] [bctt tweet="It's all about high performance and high achievement, but that doesn't equate to working crazy hours - Ashley Sutton" username="Mommifaceted"]   Ashley's Bio Ashley Sutton began her career in marketing with Fortune 500 beauty company Avon Products, where she built her knowledge in product development, on the North America color cosmetics brand team. Ashley’s eagerness to learn about international business led her to her next role with Mattel (Fisher-Price). Ashley managed the toy development for multiple entertainment preschool brands, such as Mickey Mouse, Thomas the Train, Octonauts, Jake and the Never Land Pirates, among others, across North America, Europe, Latin America, and Asia Pacific. As Ashley’s desire to round out her marketing skills continued, she leapt into consumer and digital marketing with Entertainment One’s family division, where her key responsibilities are to secure digital promotions, oversee social media and blogger outreach, create digital content and assets, and work to develop brand marketing initiatives for preschool licensed brands.   Throughout her career journey, she learned a lot about her strengths and opportunities to grow, and better prioritize her life. Working crazy long hours, with very little ROI in your personal life, could either drive you insane, or light a fire to make some serious change. Ashley chose the latter. She was burning the midnight oil, and started to see her health and energy decline. She surveyed friends and colleagues, and found that many of them were all, in some way, shape, or form driving themselves into destruction by working unfathomable hours. She channeled these stories into her newly published book, Overtime Is SO Over. As an avid volunteer, Ashley believes in the power of giving back. She is a mentor and has acted as a national judge for the NAACP Act-So organization, where she helps high school students engage in entrepreneurship, STEM, and the arts.   In her spare time, Ashley loves music, travel; and of course, attempting to make her meals look “just like the picture,” when she’s in the kitchen!   Follow Ashley Sutton!

it026 Check out the Podcast in iTunes here, or read the transcript below. Also, I share a bonus video at the very end of this post, so make sure to check that out, too. I often get asked how I made the switch from aspiring coach, to full-time coach and entrepreneur.And I completely understand this question, because I asked it for the longest time.I asked this even after I became a certified coach and went through coach training. Even after I completed B-School with Marie Forleo. Even after I spent a ton of money on my initial websites (which by the way, I never used).I still felt like I wasn’t a real entrepreneur.I went to networking events with my flashy new business cards, feeling like a complete fraud.Women gravitated towards me and my passion, and that scared me because deep down, I felt I was a faker.I felt like I was on the outside looking in at a pretty glass window, filled with happy, beautiful entrepreneurs who spent their days working in beautiful cafes, traveling the world, and mingling with other amazing women entrepreneurs. I craved being one of those happy entrepreneurs whose lives felt so effortless and care-free.I Felt Like I Needed To "Fix Myself" Or "Learn More" Before I Was ReadyI spent a lot of those beginnings years trying to find ways to fix myself and to earn my right to take up space, and to hang my shingle as a coach. I attended conventions, retreats, read self-help books, bought online programs, and made tons of to-do lists.I coached for free, I traded coaching, and charged really low fees to get experience. I went back to a corporate job so I could pay my bills, and spent my free time doing a lot of things I thought entrepreneurs did – I made a logo, made business cards, networked locally, made lists (seriously, I made a lot of lists).But even after all of this, I still felt like I wasn’t the real deal. I couldn’t figure out how to make the leap, and I didn’t know how to turn pro. And I was working REALLY hard – nights, weekends, holidays.So what happened? What’s the “secret?”It’s not really a secret, it’s actually a simple truth that I know all successful entrepreneurs can relate to.If you can relate to anything I’ve said so far, pay attention to what I’m going to say next because this is IT lightworkers, this is the secret sauce.I made a decision to be successful.I decided I was going to be successful, no matter what.I decided to no longer be available to my bullshit, my lies, the excuses that I told myself. I decided to no longer be available to going back to a job, to make money while I built my business. I decided that I was SO OVER living a life that felt completely un-aligned and that I was done with it – that I was going to take that hard action that I needed to move forward (more on this later).In that moment, I decided that I was going to do everything I could to make it as a coach. Not tomorrow, not next month, not next year. Starting NOW.One of my mentors and coaches, Gina DeVee, has a quote that I love – she says “go after it like your hair is on FIRE.”Don’t get me wrong – before that moment, I was trying really, really hard. But at the end of the day, I still had a job to fall back on in case I failed. I could always work on my business on the side, I told myself. The truth is, I hadn’t burned my bridges to my mediocre life.Which meant that it was still a very real possibility to me to fail.Everything Became Clear After I Decided Success Was the Only OptionI knew that success was the only possibility because I would not STOP until I got there. I invested in the best coaching for me, the best business and marketing training, the best website, designers, support, software.I decided to show up for my business by being consistent in my content, my Instagram, my newsletter, my Podcast. To get on calls with potential clients, even though it scared me.Once you decide to succeed, and make yourself available to nothing less, everything becomes easy.The aching question of "but-what-if-I-fail" is no longer there.You act as if you are going to succeed because you have a conviction that you are. And that’s what makes it so.When I decided to succeed in my business, I made some other decisions that were tough, and looking back, I know that's why I didn't make the decision earlier.3 Big Life Decisions I Made After I Decided To SucceedFirst, I left my 9-5 job and moved back in with my grandparents to work on my business full-time. This wasn’t easy – I was already married, and felt super ashamed of doing this, and to top it off, my family was anything but supportive of my dreams.Second, as you may know, I was forced to re-examine my marriage with a man I LOVE with all my heart, because I knew there was healing that needed to happen in that area before I could be successful. This broke my heart, but now, our relationship is so much stronger because of it.Third, I got into credit card debt to pay for the programs I knew would take me forward. I grew up in a household that things credit card debt was REALLY bad and shameful, but I had to get over that because I wasn’t going to get the money anywhere else (I had no savings, and no one would help me).If I didn’t do decide to take those hard actions, I wouldn’t be typing this up at a gorgeous beach-side café in San Diego, while I’m prepping for my next coaching call.But the decision to take those actions was a no-brainer, once I decided to succeed. It was scary, but it was still OK because I kept the bigger picture in mind.Without that decision, those actions wouldn't have been worth it because that would have meant risking my whole life for no promised payoff.Make sense?Alright lightworkers, I truly hope that this has served you today!Let me know in the comments below what action you need to take to move forward and decide to succeed!P.S. Watch this video for extra inspiration!!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aI0csRLFbXg

Aired 12/02/08 JODIE EVANS is the co-founder the International Occupation Watch Center in Iraq, and of CODE PINK, with, among others, Medea Benjamin. Jodie's Baghdad Journals are at the center of the 2003 book, Twilight of Empire, and she is co-editor with Benjamin of Stop The Next War Now. Medea and I (CODEPINK co-founders) are spending the week in Iran on a citizen's diplomacy visit, engaging with Iranian women's groups and officials to build bridges and create peace from the ground up. We arrived Friday. Here's a bit of our experience. It is our third day in Iran and we feel like we've been here a month. We are all a bit bleary eyed, with too little sleep. Poor Ann Wright has been hit with the flu, but she doesn't miss a meeting. Leila Zand, our trip leader from Fellowship of Reconciliation is managing three jobs while trying to handle her wild bunch (Medea and myself.) Medea and I aren't great at following rules, especially when they don't make sense. So to be in a form of a straight jacket probably brings our rebellious spirit. Leila has to carry too much of our pent up energy and desires to see and do as much as possible in this short trip. We are all walking the tightrope of wanting to bring more groups back. This is the purpose of the trip and what we complained to Ahmadinejad about in September-the complaint that led to this trip. To break open the knot between Iran and the U.S., we need more citizen diplomacy, and Medea and I surrender to the need and agree to what I am now calling Slow Activism. There are people we have introductions to that we can't meet because it would upset the government, at whose very consent we are here-having been denied entry previously. So we are ALL on our best behavior. I even think I have been able to keep my scarf on much more than the last trip. It also helps us to better understand the terrain. Our friends here learn how to navigate the political land mines. International recognition here is a ticket to a freedom most Iranians who are politically active don't have. Habib knows how to fill a vacuum and seems to know they are inherent in the structure of our visit. Promises of meetings melt away and he is there with the replacement. We were supposed to be at the U.S. Embassy this morning, a tour prepared by the government-it was even announced in the press. But that and a meeting with the Foreign Minister were announced cancelled when we woke. So Habib whisked us off to the a War Library at the Center for Artists. A pretty serious library of books about war from around the world including 800 they had published or arranged to publish themselves. The director had been a journalist in the 8-year war and has given his life to telling its story to make sure another doesn't happen. A great partner for our War is So Over message....and a reminder it takes a lot of pictures, words and movies to tell that story. Lucky we love Habib so much because he manages to spend most of his time with us breaking our hearts and taking us deeper and deeper into the devastation of the 8-year war. I think when I leave I will feel like I was there. We wanted to ride a subway and we wanted to go shopping-if meetings cannot be arranged, then please take us into the belly of the city! We walked for blocks to the subway entrance. Public transportation is priced right-20 cents for the subway and 2 cents for the bus. It was about 3:30pm and getting close to rush hour so the train was packed and we had a choose between the men's train or the women's. We chose the men's train and it was packed. We had to push our way in to fit and of course all eyes were on the Westerners. We went five stops standing and mashed together, the other women on the train were young or with a partner. We emerged from the train to a bustling street. There were hundreds if not thousands of women in long black chadors. We had arrived at a community much more religious than the middle of downtown were we live. It was a fantastic bazaar which, unlike that of Isfahan where it is mostly crafts, seemed to cater to the needs of the community (housewares were in abundance.) Rostan told us that a wives' family has to buy what is needed to create the new home, and all around us, young girls and their mothers where laden in housewares. A tiled, arched entrance swallowed us and we got lost in catacombs of alleys laden with wares and Victoria's Secret-styled stalls with sexier lingerie than I have ever seen. We found our way to a center with vaulted tiled ceilings. Medea found a fantastic set of pink silverware, 33 pieces for $20. Needing a toilet we learned there are mosques almost everywhere and they are the best place to look. We found a mosque just outside and were greeted with warmth and invited in. As darkness engulfed this neighborhood and the stalls closed at the call to prayer, we descended to the subway again. There were hundreds of people, all in black, pushing to get through. It was awesome to behold. We thought of going up to take a cab but realized at rush hour it would take even longer. So we poured ourselves into the throng and decided this time we would try the women's car. What fun! We had a delightful conversation facilitated by a young woman who knew a bit of English. I love the curiosity of the people in Iran-they simply stop us on the street to know where we are from and it reminds me of our visits to Iraq. As I would come home to Venice Beach after being in Iraq and know just how closed a society I live in. There is no curiosity in those streets. Just people going somewhere, and when I have the openness that lingers when I come home, people think I am crazy. All the young women in the subway car have graduated from college-an urban planner, sociologist, doctor, teacher and mother's with their young children. It is much saner than the men's car and we get the wisdom of the separation. We went a stop past ours to find chador stores for Medea. We walked for blocks and blocks with no luck, finally there seemed to be one that was made of cotton. She went inside to try it on and I met a student who came up to ask if I was serious about the big peace sign on my back. "Glad you are here for PEACE,"" said Essa Abrahani, a student of mechanical engineering. "Congratulations for being here, US idea of Iran is colored by revolution and 8 year war. Come visit and see who we really are," was his message to Obama. Medea emerged with a new outfit that they even managed to hem for her. We had dinner in a richly layered restaurant full of music, courting couples, big families and the ever-present kabob. We had a fast dinner to be home for our weekly staff conference call on Skype from the internet café-and a late night of catching up on emails and blogs. Learn more at www.codepink4peace.org
