Advice 4 The Living
This is Advice 4 The Living…from someone who only kind of is. I have the unique experience of being a 28 year old woman, with a terminal diagnosis due to genetic issues I was born with, and living on end-of-life hospice/comfort care. I have been able to gain incredible insight and wisdom as I watched the world go by, and it’s about time I get connected and share it with you all.
I want to give my opinion and advice on any and all issues going on in your life that you want a fresh perspective on. Just real life situations and dilemmas. It helps me too! - Oh! And there’s no competition on this Podcast about if your situation is worse than someone else’s…let’s be honest, we are all humans who experience difficult situations sometimes. Nothing is ”too mundane” to ask about.
You asking for my advice regarding any situations that come up in your life; takes my mind off of my own, and maybe puts some of yours into perspective.
If you have a dilemma you want my advice or my opinion on, please email me at advice4theliving@gmail.com (or send through fan mail here on BuzzSprout), and provide me with as much context as you’re comfortable sharing. Please let me know if you want me to use fake names to enable you to stay anonymous, or if you don’t mind me using the names you provide!
I hope you choose to stay and stick around, and I can’t wait to share more wisdom! Thanks for reading!
