Why does advice feel supportive when we’re young, but suffocating as we get older — especially for grannies? In this episode, Adesewa Josh and Granny Jane Isay explore why unsolicited advice often lands hardest in later life, when autonomy has been earned and dignity matters most. Through warmth, humor, and lived experience, they unpack when care quietly crosses the line, and why the same advice — like the same grape — can become wine or vinegar depending on the season.
