It's time to do my dream job, one that no longer exists out in the traditional world of media: writing an advice column.

God, when I was growing up, receiving my super cool teen-oriented magazines in the mail (RIP Teen Magazine; you were my fave!), I would turn right to the advice pages, gobbling up very real people's very real questions – and the compassion with which they were answered by professionals. (It's also where I learned the word mortifying, to boot.)

It's something I've always wanted to offer myself, hence why I do so many ask-me-anything Q&A's on Instagram! And it recently occurred to me that all I have to do is curate that space. And hopefully, since I've built it, folks will come.

This space, along with Patreon and Instagram subscriptions, is where I will post frequent long-form answers to real audience questions, allowing more space and nuance than what I can accomplish in Instagram stories, and creating an index of thoughtful answers to folks' most vulnerable (and maybe even mortifying) insecurities.


Thank you so much!

You have no idea how heartwarming and encouraging it is to have folks support my work in this way. Whether you're hoping to send in advice questions, curious about what others ask about, or simply want to financially support my work, I am truly so happy to have you here.
