Unsolicited Advice with Ashley and Taryne

In this, the last episode of UA before Christmas, we bring you stories focusing on two of the most challenging, beguiling, and stress-inducing (yet ultimately rewarding) things we all have in our lives: family and friends. So put another log on the fire, pour yourself a mug of hot chocolate, and settle in for some advice that will likely be more useful than anything you'll find in your stocking on Christmas morning.

Today's episode is all about opposites. In one scenario, you desperately want to relax and be around family and friends during the holidays, yet an invisible foe is preventing it from happening. In a second scenario, you are forced to be around a specific person, but would do absolutely anything to avoid that human being at all costs. This, our friends, is 2020 in a nutshell. No matter what you want or need, a compromise is oftentimes necessary. As we prepare for the holidays, take solace in the fact that no matter who you are, this year is likely going to be different, difficult, and slightly dysfunctional.Stay informed, stay safe, and stay healthy out there, folks!To watch our podcast videos on YouTube: http://bit.ly/UAPodcastYouTube To send us your questions/stories, email us at: AdviceUnsolicitedPod@gmail.com Be sure to follow us on Instagram: @UnsolicitedAdvicePodTo check out our first-ever UA MERCH: https://bit.ly/unsolicitedadvicemerchandise Learn more about your ad choices.
