Advice is never universal or one-size-fits-all.

This episode is for you if you're the kind of person who reads or hears someone give advice and you think, "Should I do that?" and you always implement it (or think you should).

Let's be real: how many of you are searching online for "how to be healthy" or "ways to lose weight" and read about that one secret food that will change EVERYTHING? Yeah, so many of us have fallen trap to that.

The truth is that this is going to happen your entire life. Everyone is going to have an opinion – especially the internet and marketing people – and you'll get advice about food, money, relationships… everything.

So what kind of advice should we take, and what should we ignore? Tune in to find out!
