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:

• Guilty Thriver, who’s 4 months pregnant with her first baby and wants to be a stay at home mom. Her husband makes plenty of money and is happy to support her desire, but she can’t get over her guilt for “only” contributing to the family on the domestic front. How can she embrace this decision and fully enjoy a new phase of life? 

• Sensational Quitter, who had a very traumatic “break up” with a job a couple of years ago. Since then she’s had two other jobs and has quit both of them, too! She lives with regret of how she handled herself at the first job, and wonders if she ruined her chance at something great. How can she leave the past behind, break the cycle of crappy jobs, and secure a role that finally feels right?

• Skyler, a woman in her 30s who’s recently gone through the process of freezing her eggs. She knows her true desire is to meet a man, fall in love, get married, and have biological kids together. But if that doesn’t happen, should she plan on becoming a single mother? Or is planning for that somehow going to block her from getting what she truly desires?

Come leave a comment after you’ve listened to share how our advice for these listeners resonated with you!
