Throughout all the different stages of my life, my favourite part of any magazine was the advice column. Readers' letters taught me how to deal with an annoying older brother (OWL), how to like someone who doesn't like you back (Sassy), and how to maximize storage in a cramped studio apartment (see virtually every design magazine ever published). It was the analog way to feel seen and connected.
It remains the best part of my job. Offering advice that builds confidence, brings clarity, and eases the overwhelm we all feel when faced with too many choices.
