On the Bright Side

EP 52: Advice Session #4: Breaking Up, Making Up, and the Friends That Don’t Always Show Up


Listen Later

They say life is about making decisions, but no one tells you how exhausting it is to actually make them. On this episode of On the Bright Side, I asked for your advice, and you answered—boldly, honestly, and without hesitation. And let me tell you, the stories that came in were anything but simple. From cheating men, to the friends who poof—disappear without a word, to the constant struggle of ignoring the very advice we’d give our best friend… there’s no shortage of drama in this thing called life.

And it’s funny, isn’t it? How we can so clearly see the solutions to other people’s problems, but when it comes to our own—well, that’s a different story. It’s like we finally realize we’re ignoring the very advice we’d give our best friend, but somehow, we can’t bring ourselves to follow it. Why is it so easy to be a life coach for others, but the hardest thing in the world to coach ourselves?

From the constant pressure to take a leap of faith when you’re not sure where you’ll land, to the “What now?” feeling that comes with leaving the past behind, this episode is all about navigating the chaos, the uncertainty, and the messes we find ourselves tangled in. I’m here to offer some thoughts, a little advice (take it with a grain of salt, obviously), and maybe, just maybe, a reminder that we’re all just figuring it out as we go. Because if there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s this: life isn’t neat, it’s not always clear, and sometimes it’s downright messy. But maybe that’s the point.

Love you all, happy listening <3
