Ask WayD

Ask WayD is an advice column to help you deal with life’s problems.

Here I am, asking you to tell me what’s bothering you.

Perhaps you don’t relate to your parents or your children are too busy to talk. It could be that you love your job so much it derails you from life, or that you hate it with such passion it depresses you. You could feel anxious, angry, numb or overwhelmed. Your friendships may need some work, or they may need to take a walk. Or maybe it’s you!

If it’s on your mind, I want to hear about it. I want to reflect on it, learn from it, grow from it and share philosophies about it. You could read a post and think, “Hey, she’s talking about me.” Not every post will be about you, not every post will be for you. But, over time, I will learn what is concerning my tribe.

It may take courage to write it down. It may keep you in a frown, or it may turn your frown upside down. If it’s bothering you, tell me about it. You will be taken seriously, not ignored or scolded or misunderstood.

No names, just a message… And GO!
