In today’s episode, we’re tackling the wild world of advice — the good, the bad, and the “did you really just tell me to manifest a new job?” variety.

Being made redundant seems to unlock a hidden level where everyone becomes a life coach, whether you’ve asked for it or not. So this episode breaks down how to figure out which advice is genuinely helpful… and which belongs in the recycling.

We’ll walk through a simple five-question filter you can use whenever someone lobs guidance your way:

• Is it relevant?
• Is it knowledgeable?
• Is it empathy or ego?
• Is it aligning with your values?
• Is it creating clarity or pressure?

If you can run advice through that little checklist, you’re already miles ahead — or at least less likely to end up making a vision board of things you absolutely do not want.

We’ve also got a contribution from Bradley, who’s sharing amazing wisdom nuggets that somehow manage to be insightful, comforting and ice hockey flavoured all at once. Standard Bradley behaviour.

And as always, if you’d like to support the show, help it keep going, or unlock the After Party episodes where I talk a bit more freely (sometimes too freely), you can hop over to Patreon .

Grab a brew, get comfy, and let’s untangle the difference between good advice, bad advice, and that mysterious advice someone once gave you that you’re still thinking about for all the wrong reasons.
