How much can you relate to being almost inadvertently propelled through life by the “logical” stuff? Like when …
- You major in something you’re technically skilled at because your parents and professors say it makes good sense.
- You weigh which job to take based mostly on money and benefits.
- You take the promotion, even if you aren’t thrilled about it, because that’s the next logical step in your career trajectory.
Even if you don’t want to be pursuing the logical steps, it’s scarily easy to get yourself locked in to the rational way of doing things.
What’s funny is that when it comes to some things in life — who to marry, whether or not to have children, where you want to live — we rarely feel compelled to make the “logical” choice.
There are plenty of things in life we do “for the love,” without needing to be super rational about our decision-making.
So why is it so hard to do that when it comes to our careers?
WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THAT, IN A NEW SIDE CHAT
Listen in as we have a very un-scripted conversation about …
- Why it’s critical to stop treating your career so logically.
- What successful people all have in common, when it comes to this point.
- How to reframe the way you think about your career, so that you can get what you want and actually be happy.
- The big realization we had when we went on vacation.
- … and more, of course!

DON’T MISS THE “DREAM JOB BUNDLE”
In case you missed our email yesterday about the dream job bundle, you’re going to want to check that out, especially if you’ve been considering joining us for the Passion Plan Virtual Experience.
The Dream Job Bundle is a totally FREE bonus we’ve made for anyone who enrolls in this round of the PPVE (enrollment ends Wednesday, April 27th).
It’s all of our best knowledge — packed into one place — about how to search, find, apply for, and actually get your dream job. Here’s a preview of what’s in it:
- Word-for-word examples of résumés and cover letters that real clients used to land their dream job.
- Mini-interviews with past PPVE enrollees and clients who are currently working at their dream job (we talk about how they did it and their advice for YOU).
- Our step-by-step strategies for how to avoid the junk jobs and only focus on the ones you really want.
- How to actually sound like you throughout the entire process, while still impressing and deeply connecting with the people you want to work with.
- An intimate interview with us about how we created our own dream job (because you don’t always have to get a job; sometimes you can make your own!).
- And more, of course.
We’ve helped a LOT of people find their passion and land jobs that make them excited to go to work every day … and all of that experience is wrapped up in this bundle.
This is a HUGELY valuable thing. Honestly, this alone is worth the investment of the PPVE … and it’s only a free bonus!
If you’re interested in joining us, you’ve got ONE day left to decide.
We hope to see you in there!
Much Love,
Rachel + Kristen

NEVER HEARD OF SIDE CHATS? (Don’t include this in the email, but DO include it on the blog)
As you can imagine when two best friends run a business together, there’s SO MUCH MORE good stuff — insights, revelations, struggles — that we’re talking about behind the scenes than what you’re reading in blog posts and #ClarityGems.
Our random back-and-forth conversations — while we’re supposed to be “working,” while we’re eating tacos, while we’re chilling in sweatpants on the couch — aren’t planned at all, and that’s why they’re good … anything can and does come up.
We always find ourselves having these good conversations and thinking, “It’d be cool if people could listen in to this, fly-on-the-wall style.”
So, we decided to just press “record” and start sharing with you.
We’re calling these “Clarity on Fire Side Chats,” and there’s no big plan for them. When inspiration hits, which is usually at random, we’ll press record and share another with you. The freer it flows, the better it usually is, anyway!
Tune in to all of our previous conversations in the Side Chat Archive.
I think you pick your careers logically because you need to pay your bills. Especially if you’ve ever struggled to pay them… Once you’ve been in that place it’s hard to let it go. Sometimes money means freedom… I know there are people out there who stay in abusive situations because of money. Just a different perspective
