Not All Advice Is Good Advice: Why You Should Be Careful About Who Speaks Into Your Life

Have you ever received advice that sounded wise but didn't fit the life you were actually living?In this episode, I unpack an African proverb that has shaped the way I choose mentors, advisors, and trusted voices: "You see based on where you sit."Every one of us experiences the world through different "seats"—our race, age, faith, gender, responsibilities, life experiences, opportunities, and challenges. Those seats influence not only how we see the world but also the kind of wisdom we need.Together we'll explore why good advice isn't universal, how to recognize when advice is incomplete, and why surrounding yourself with informed people—not identical people—can transform the way you make decisions.If you've ever left a conversation feeling misunderstood, minimized, or discouraged, this episode will help you become more intentional about who you allow to shape your thinking.Because you deserve advice that honors your personhood, your purpose, and the realities you navigate every day.In This Episode• Why not all advice is good advice• Understanding the "seats" that shape perspective• Five questions to ask before accepting advice• Why informed advisors matter more than impressive advisors• Building a table of trusted voicesIf this episode resonates with you, please:⭐ Follow the podcast so you never miss an episode.📝 Leave a rating or review.
