Advice for 2026

from Just Asking

It’s that time of year when we reflect on what’s happened the last 12 months, and dream up changes for the new year. Whether you’re looking for guidance in your career, relationships, or setting personal goals, we could all use a little bit of extra help dealing with the curveballs life brings us. On this episode of Just Asking, we have two advice columnists ready to share their wisdom and help you strategize for the new year. Gretchen Rubin is a writer who studies happiness and human nature. She also co-hosts the advice podcast, “Since You Asked.” And Steve Almond is a writer and author of the book, “Truth is the Arrow, Mercy is the Bow.” He was also the co-host of the advice podcast, “Dear Sugars,” which wrapped up in 2018. You’ll also hear from actor Jake Johnson and comedian Gareth Reynolds about what inspired them to start the “We’re Here to Help” podcast where callers share their problems with actors and comedians like Nick Kroll, Roy Wood Jr, D’Arcy Carden and Dakota Fanning.
