I’m good at fixing stuff. I’m a fixer. I thrive in crises and immediately focus on the problem at hand. I don’t stop until I have one (or 5) solutions.
My friends and family have caught on to this little trait of mine. My secret’s out. Instead of being able to just focus on my own problems, I have to fix things for other people! It’s OK because 1.) I’m nosey and like that I get secret glimpses into people’s lives; 2.) I’m really good at it (there, I said it). And don’t most of us like doing what we’re good at?
Due to my background/Master’s of Communications and my experience working with many different walks of life, I think I’m best at relationship advice. This is not limited to boyfriend/girlfriend stuff. Is your mom driving you insane? Having issues with the Mother-in-law and her (lack of) boundaries? Is your boss difficult to please? Trying to work up the courage to ask for a raise?
Let me help.
If you want to keep things anonymous, send your question to my email address:

I promise not to post any names. You have my word.
I’ll feature one (or two) questions, complete with my solution, each Saturday. We all have similar problems, so I’m hoping this will not only help some people out, but show others that they’re not alone.
While I’m no expert, I did mention that others have found my advice to be extremely helpful. At the very least, it’s always worth hearing someone else’s perspective. Plus, who doesn’t feel better after getting their concerns out in the open and venting a bit (in some cases, a lot). Like I said, I promise to keep this confidential.
Feel free to use this as an opportunity to ask any personal questions, as well. Want to know if I have any tattoos (I don’t, sorry to ruin the surprise)? Maybe you want me to teach you the art of yodeling upside-down (again, sorry to disappoint, but I can’t do this). You get the point. I’ll answer (almost) anything you’re interested in. Modeling stuff/diet and exercise/relationship milestones/etc.
The floor is yours….
