It's the Hello Hayes Guide to Giving Good Advice! If you’ve ever struggled with knowing what to say when a friend asks for guidance (or felt frustrated when someone gave you bad advice), this episode is for you. As an advice columnist (Hello Hayes), I’ve spent years answering your letters and helping people navigate life’s toughest situations. In this episode, I’m breaking down how to actually help YOUR people — without being overbearing, judgmental, or just plain unhelpful.
We’ll talk about:
✔️ Why advice isn’t a prescription—it’s a map
✔️ How to support people without controlling them
✔️ The difference between helping and fixing
✔️ Why people don’t always want your advice (and what to do instead)
