357. 5 Pieces of Advice We’re So Glad We Didn’t Take!

Well hi, dear ones! Today’s episode is a fun one. We wanted to do something a little lighter, a little more “front porch chat”… but still so good. We’re sharing five pieces of advice we’re genuinely grateful we didn’t take — because whew, we live in an age where everyone has an opinion on how you should live, love, work, and make decisions. And a lot of that “advice” sounds wise… until you actually try to build a life you love. So consider this your permission slip to pause, question the narrative, and decide what’s true for you. Why I’m glad I didn’t stay stuck in the “steady 9–5 is the only safe way” mindset The relationship advice floating around the internet that can quietly breed resentment (and what we think is healthier) My personal hot take: more is more (more joy, more love, more beauty, more life) Why “wait until you’re ready” is often just fear in a cute outfit — and how to move anyway The best reframe of all: get your hopes up (because not getting your hopes up is basically being disappointed in advance) the Aerie sweat set (especially pregnancy-friendly!) https://www.ae.com/us/en/p/aerie/clothing/loungewear/offline-by-aerie-ott-fleece-super-wide-leg-pant/1703_1248_012?menu=cat1090003&ip=off&utm_source=google&utm_medium=pla&utm_content=aerie&utm_campaign=nogender_bottoms_general&utm_term=nonbrand&utm_id=20001158336&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20001158336&gbraid=0AAAAADovoqLTyCTYF-Ktn9_X34NiA4okY&gclid=Cj0KCQiAhOfLBhCCARIsAJPiopMqrE-xkIolWqogrAbqamy8BW2pQcqJF_ghrw1Wz4dNjgJ38JR7B4kaAhvGEALw_wcB  https://www.ae.com/us/en/p/aerie/clearance/clothing/tops/sweatshirts-hoodies/offline-by-aerie-ott-seamed-quarter-zip-sweatshirt/2164_2141_012 The Rhode peptide lip tint in “Ribbon” https://www.rhodeskin.com/products/peptide-lip-tint-ribbon?srsltid=AfmBOopuzGvRF3-ue0v9P9EcXmNG61BmXoXBSsaYiQAD-L5RQCkman6O  My upgraded method for the lemon chicken rice soup (so flavorful) https://substack.com/home/post/p-185682117 If you loved this episode, come tell us on Instagram: What advice are YOU officially not taking anymore?
