Life is hard and sometimes knowing where to turn to find answers can be daunting. Embarrassment, shame, limiting beliefs and plain old indecision all become factors when trying to navigate social and professional situations.
So where can you turn when you have a question that maybe you don’t want to ask your trusted loved ones. Where can you turn if you, like so many others, don’t have much of a family or social circle, or you know they will just tell you what you want to hear? The answer is right here.
I’m beginning a weekly advice column. Wondering if you were the AH in a given situation? Tell us your story. Wondering where the date went wrong and why he/she won’t call you back? Tell us about it. Wondering how to navigate a work situation or struggling in a new leadership position? Reach out.
My fiancée will also be joining me in this endeaver to help out as many people as we can. We have seen other advice columns, the AITAH threads on reddit and watched many of the youtube channels. Generally their responses are found to be lacking. They tend to come from extreme ideological camps or are trying to sell you something, but with us we will give you genuine honest feed back and actionable steps to move forward when we see them.
We will draw on our wealth of experiences to help you navigate these tricky situations. We have both found great success in our civilian and military careers. We are both from wildly different parts of the United States and lived and worked all over, domestically and abroad giving us a multitude of perspectives to draw upon when analyzing a situation.
MEET THE TEAM:
Chelsea
Chelsea is a veteran and SoCal native. When she’s not using puns, she’s being brutally honest to a fault. She considers herself a full time foodie and her favorite dates involve a glass or three of Prosecco. The worst advice Chelsea has ever heard: “Good things come to those who wait.” Chelsea believes good things come to those who put in the work.
RampagingTurtle(RT):
RT is also a Veteran! He was born and raised in the frozen north of Massachussetts but has lived all over. He loves learning and building, both literally and metaphorically. The worst advice you can give someone is to tell them that they’re perfect just the way they are. That stiffles progression. We all have tremendous room for growth and it’s inspiring to embrace it.
