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.If you enjoyed this episode, you may also like:How to Give Honest Feedback (Without Triggering Them)How to Navigate Toxic RelationshipsWant to be more in alignment with your purpose?

When high-profile food critic and journalist Giles Coren revealed he had begun attending church as a 'lapsed atheist' he joined an increasing number of people now using that label to describe themselves. Justin Brierley investigates why other public figures like Konstantin Kisin, Louise Perry, Niall Ferguson, James Lindsay and Carl Benjamin are trying out church as 'lapsed atheists'. He also hears from a new breed of thinking atheists - Alex O Connor (aka Cosmic Skeptic) and Joe Folley (aka Unsolicited Advice) on what it would take for them to believe. But what moves 'lapsed atheists' towards Christian faith? Ross Douthat, author of 'Believe: Why everyone should be religious' offers advice, and Luke Thornton a young convert from atheism to Christianity tells his story.

Have you ever been caught in a conversation where you felt unheard or misunderstood? On this episode of the Do Good to Lead Well podcast, I'm exploring the transformative power of effective listening. With insights from Stephen Covey's timeless principle of seeking first to understand, and a revealing study from Zenger Folkman in Harvard Business Review, I uncover the real markers of great listening. It's not just about nodding silently; it's about engaging mindfully, channeling curiosity through thoughtful questions. These skills help us navigate today's polarized landscape and build bridges where there were none.Active listening is more than a skill; it's an art that can mend divides and strengthen connections. Drawing from my own experiences, I share how misplaced advice during an enthusiastic travel story highlighted the pitfalls of assuming rather than understanding. Empathy and emotional intelligence are key, especially in a tech-driven world where face-to-face interactions are rare. By being present, asking the right questions, and truly listening, we can foster more meaningful relationships and learn from disagreements. Tune in to this episode and discover how great listening can lead to a brighter, more connected future. What You'll Learn- Why listening is a crucial skill in our personal and professional lives.- Common misconceptions about effective listening.- Is being silent sufficient to demonstrate great listening?- It's all about timing when it comes to giving advice.Podcast Timestamps(00:00) – Why Listening is a (Leadership) Superpower(02:52) – Key Behaviors of Great Listening(15:47) – A Personal Example(19:11) – A Final ThoughtKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Active Listening, Communication Skills, Empathy, Emotional Intelligence, Effective Communication, Seek First to Understand, Asking Questions, Building Relationships, The Power of Curiosity, Navigating Disagreements, Unsolicited Advice, Polarized World, Open Dialogue, CEO Success

You've been told to “speak your truth.” But what if that truth-telling… is actually pushing people away? In this fiery mini-sode, I'm unpacking the energetics and trauma patterns behind unsolicited advice, oversharing, and feeling the need to "educate" someone we don't agree with—and how it's not always as loving or helpful as we think it is. INSIDE THE EPISODE:

4pm: Latest on Elon vs Trump // The Day That Trump and Musk Torched Their Partnership // Noem Ends Obama-Era “Quiet Skies” Program Joe Biden Used to Target Political Opponents, Launches Investigation Into Weaponization // How Democrats Can Stop Alienating Young Men: Some Unsolicited Advice // In-Studio Guest Skyler on why he loves camping..

Have you ever given or received advice, only to realise it didn't land the way you hoped? This week I explore the common (and sometimes uncomfortable) experience of unsolicited advice—when someone offers suggestions or solutions without being asked. I reflect on how this type of advice, even when well-intentioned, can feel dismissive, create disconnection, and even lead to codependency. Support doesn't always mean solving. Sometimes, the most powerful thing we can offer is our full, caring attention. In this episode you will learn: Why unsolicited advice can feel invalidating or emotionally disconnecting What some of the internal motivators are behind giving advice The importance of presence and co-regulation over rushing to fix someone's feelings Helpful alternatives to unsolicited advice Reflective journal prompts to consider - How do you feel when someone gives you unsolicited advice?

Have you ever gotten advice that made you question your whole life choices? This week, we're unpacking unsolicited advice, the kind no one asked for, yet somehow shows up. From the well-meaning auntie with a PhD in your personal life to the friend who's projecting more than supporting, we're asking: when does guidance turn into control?We're sharing the story times that made us rethink our boundaries, breaking down why it stings, and getting into how to give advice without sounding accidentally condescending. Let's talk passive aggression, people-pleasing, and why “you should…” is usually where we check out.All this and more in this week's episode!

Don't we all love unsolicited advice? No?! Obviously, I jest. Of course we don't, especially when fighting for your life. In this relatively brief podcast I discuss my interaction with such unsolicited benevolence (as the giver surely must feel that's what it is). In short, Sweet Brown said it best: Ain't nobody got time for that!

What if the people who drain your energy aren't the problem—but your reaction to them is? In this episode, Michael and Christian take a closer look at the concept of “energy vampires” and what really makes certain interactions feel exhausting. They explore how our attention, expectations, and values shape our experience of others—and how much of what we perceive as draining comes from within. You'll learn how to manage your focus more intentionally, recognize when misalignment is the real issue, and lead with more empathy and clarity. If you want to protect your energy and strengthen your leadership presence, this episode offers powerful insight.

In this soulful and unfiltered conversation, I'm joined by my dear friends Elizabeth DiAlto and Elisha Tichelle, co-hosts of the Mystical Aunties podcast. Together, we dive into the deep waters of boundaries, power, projection, and the energetic transformation of perimenopause. We talk about what it means to be a mystical auntie, how to navigate judgment and unsolicited advice with grace, and the sacred process of untangling from identities built around doing and productivity. Elizabeth brings her fierce and tender wisdom as a sacred embodiment teacher, while Elisha shares her powerful presence as an oracle and somatic guide. There's depth, there's laughter, and there's truth. This is a conversation for anyone moving through change, reclaiming their power, and remembering who they truly are.

The university is uniquely Catholic in its origin, and yet currently, higher level education on elite campuses is a “red-hot mess,” according to George Weigel. In this episode, Andrew Petiprin sits down with George Weigel to discuss academia and the intellectual life, not simply as a theoretical enterprise left for those who dwell in an ivory tower, but as driver of culture and social life. They discuss the role of the Church in academia, the scholarly legacy of Pope St. John Paul II, the importance fighting the culture war, and the troubles facing the Western civilization. These topics are also the focus of Weigel's most recent book “Pomp, Circumstance, and Unsolicited Advice: Commencement Addresses and University Lectures,” where he tells students that true academic learning is carrying on the great Catholic tradition.   Get Your Copy of “Pomp, Circumstance, and Unsolicited Advice”: https://ignatius.com/pomp-circumstance-and-unsolicited-advice-pcap/?searchid=2246581&search_query=pomp+circumstance   SUBSCRIBE to our channel and never miss an episode of the Ignatius Press Podcast.

This week, I'm heading back to San Francisco's Chinatown for another delightfully chaotic mystery with our favourite sixty-something sleuth, Vera Wong. In Jesse Sutanto's latest novel, Vera Wong's Guide to Snooping on a Dead Man, the tea shop is still bustling, but what Vera's craving is just a little more excitement in her now much fuller life. When she encounters a young girl outside the police precinct, Vera senses a mystery in need of an answer, and she's back on the case! A locked briefcase, a viral social media moment, and a trail of secrets are far too much for the calming effects of a cup of her chrysanthemum tea.In this episode, I share my spoiler-free thoughts on this cosy, yet surprisingly dark sequel. I talk about why Vera continues to be such a compelling character and how this book explores found family and identity in the digital age.Whether you loved the first Vera Wong book or you're just dipping your toes into the world of cosy crime and cosy mysteries, this one has humour, heart, high-stakes sleuthing, and a grandmother who's got more guts than your average gumshoe. So, pop the kettle on, settle in, and let's chat all things books.

Now that the dust has settled from Teresa and Luis' new financial and legal woes, we break down just how dire their situation really is or is not, discuss what Luis does to make a living and what the Giudice-Ruelas' plan to do until a year from now when RHONJ maybe, possibly will start production on its next season.  Jen Shah's prison release date is moved up again which makes it very likely Ms. Shah will be back on RHOSLC before RHONJ returns to our airwaves. Bethenny Frankel reveals TMI regarding her dating life and offers advice, unsolicited, to the rest of us. RHOC and RHOSLC's new seasons continue to film, RHOBH wraps up and RHOA continues to shine as this return to form season carries on. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: CORNBREAD - cornbreadhemp.com/velvet (30% Off With Code Velvet on Cornbread's Gummies) SPOT & TANGO - spotandtango.com/velvetrope (Use Code Velvetrope To Get 50% Off Your First Order of UnKibble For Your Dog) QUINCE - quince.com/velvetrope (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns to As You Indulge In Affordable Luxury) AIR DOCTOR - airdoctorpro.com (Use Code Velvet For Up To $300 Off Today The Best Air Purifier Voted By Newsweek) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Last week we had a run in with Morgan Wade, a sighting out in the wild. Today, we break down that tete a tete, discuss the Kyle and Teddi of it all and explain what happens next.  Speaking of Miss Wade, Garcelle continues to question Kyle to come out, come out wherever she is and tell us, because you are on a reality show, what is really going on. Erika Jayne points out that Garcelle shares nothing about her own life and the rest of the diamond holders continue to break up and make up which leads to our discussion on just who will and will not be back next season on RHOBH.  Terry Durbow reveals shocking new info, Tamra Judge continues to film the new season of RHOC and last, but certainly not least, Bethenny Frankel offers divorce, co-parenting and life advice to Kim Kardashian as Kim's situation with Kanye gets stranger and more bizarre by the day.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BROUGHT TO YOU BY: CARAWAY HOME - Carawayhome.com/VELVET (10% Off Non-Toxic Cookware Made Modern) AIR DOCTOR - airdoctorpro.com (Use Code Velvet For Up To $300 Off Today The Best Air Purifier Voted By Newsweek) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) STRAWBERRY - Strawberry.me/VELVET (Get 20% Off Your First Month & Take Charge Of Your Future With The Help Of a Certified Coach) SPOT & TANGO - spotandtango.com/velvetrope (Use Code Velvetrope To Get 50% Off Your First Order of UnKibble For Your Dog) JUNE'S JOURNEY (Download This Hidden Object Interactive Mobile Game Now on Android or iOS) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

"If you were right I would agree with you"

In today's episode, I'm talking about the darkly comedic That'll Teach Her by Maz Evans, a murder mystery set in a primary school. The story kicks off with the sudden death of the headmistress, Claudia Stitchwell, with the official reason given being an allergic reaction to nuts in a chocolate cake... But some of the parents aren't buying it, so they turn to their school WhatsApp group to start putting the pieces together and figure out what really happened, uncovering a lot of secrets that would have been better staying buried along the way.The book is told in a really fun way, using WhatsApp chats, chat boards, school newsletters, and police reports, all of which give it a unique twist. Want to know if this book is for you? Give this week's episode a listen to hear my full take on it, without any spoilers, and find out if this darkly comic whodunit should be your next read!Featured Episodes Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers My Socials X/Twitter - @being_bookish Instagram - @beingbookishpod TikTok - @beingbookishreviews YouTube - @beingbookishpod

In the wake of ongoing tech layoffs and the Trump administration's efforts to reshape the public sector, Anne and Frances are back with a new Unsolicited Advice segment to set the record straight about what layoffs mean for an organization — and the responsibility leaders have to own what went wrong.For Fixable transcripts, please visit https://www.ted.com/podcasts/fixable-transcripts.
