What’s the most annoying thing people do? It’s not gossiping. It’s not complaining. It’s giving advice you never asked for. We’ve all been on the receiving end of it — someone who means well, but ends up making us feel small, talked down to, or misunderstood. And if we’re honest, we’ve probably been the ones doing it too. The truth is, unsolicited advice rarely lands the way we hope. It often feels obvious, condescending, or gets brushed off entirely. That’s because most advice comes from our need to be right rather than our desire to truly support. In this episode of The Spiritual Perspective, I share a simple 3-step method that transforms how you give advice. Instead of creating distance, it helps your words feel supportive, validating, and even welcoming.
