Advice 4 The Living

~ Kayla ~

This is Advice 4 The Living…from someone who only kind of is.  I have the unique experience of being a 28 year old woman, with a terminal diagnosis due to genetic issues I was born with, and living on end-of-life hospice/comfort care.  I have been able to gain incredible insight and wisdom as I watched the world go by, and it’s about time I get connected and share it with you all. I want to give my opinion and advice on any and all issues going on in your life that you want a fresh perspective on.  Just real life situations and dilemmas.  It helps me too! - Oh! And there’s no competition on this Podcast about if your situation is worse than someone else’s…let’s be honest, we are all humans who experience difficult situations sometimes.  Nothing is ”too mundane” to ask about.   You asking for my advice regarding any situations that come up in your life; takes my mind off of my own, and maybe puts some of yours into perspective.  If you have a dilemma you want my advice or my opinion on, please email me at advice4theliving@gmail.com (or send through fan mail here on BuzzSprout), and provide me with as much context as you’re comfortable sharing.  Please let me know if you want me to use fake names to enable you to stay anonymous, or if you don’t mind me using the names you provide! I hope you choose to stay and stick around, and I can’t wait to share more wisdom!  Thanks for reading!

Thank you all so so much for tuning in to this incredibly disgustingly gut-wrenching and frustrating episode of Advice 4 The Living. My heart aches for anyone affiliated with the disabled community in any way who has been put-down, taunted, harassed, or made fun of from ignorant bullies.  If you fit that category, I’m so sorry for what you’ve been through or are continuing to  go through, and I hope you find solace, peace and comfort in knowing you’re not alone.   Also, I want to reiterate my appreciation for all of you and everything you do to interact with this podcast. While downloads are the most helpful (especially if the video has an ad), I truly appreciate all of it.  From you liking/favouriting/saving the podcast itself or specific episodes that resonate with/stand out to you, to sharing it (either on or off-line/by word of mouth), to when you give it a rating/review on the app you’re tuning in from, and even when you just simply listen.  It really helps propel this podcast forward in the algorithm so that even more people can join our ever-growing community movement of difference-makers, world-changers, and people reclaiming kindness and community, and where all are welcome, celebrated, encouraged and supportived, and I hope you’ll join us! I also really appreciate all of your email submissions, because without them…this podcast wouldn’t exist.  So if you have a topic/subject matter, circumstance, update, or problem/issue/dilemma that you want me to share my thoughts, perspective, advice and opinions on and discussed in an episode, please don’t hesitate to email me at advice4theliving@gmail.com and I check my messages constantly so stay tuned because you’ll never know when your submission will be next!  (Extra highlight on the fact that I want updates lol) Thank you all once again for everything, and I can’t wait to catch you in the next one!   Bye folks! PS. I am so sorry if there is an ad on this video, I know how annoying/frustrating they are… But I genuinely appreciate your patience because they help so much!  That’s because if you download an episode, when an ad is playing (mind you the ads are only up for anywhere from a couple hours to a couple days max and you don’t have to interact with the ad in any way whatsoever)... I do get a bit of a kickback  So thank you all so much once again for your understanding because any amount of ATTITUDE commissions, Vagabond Life commissions, and ad revenue…all of that goes right back into the podcast.   To be completely honest, the monthly fee to upkeep this podcast is *hefty* (which is incredibly difficult seeing as I receive disability income which is so minimal and doesn’t even enough fully cover my medication) and my budget is so tight that any of those avenues to save me anything from out of pocket is a genuine miracle/blessing.
