More Than Mom: Advice (Giving It, Getting It & More)



Today we’re talking about advice: asking for it, giving it, and consuming it in general. Things have come a looong way since the days of Dear Abby (we’re looking at you, Facebook crowdsourcing!), and in this fun More Than Mom conversation, Meagan and Sarah share how we individually show up when it comes to receiving advice, whether we’re comfortable giving advice, and how it all has changed for us over the years. We also discuss our mutual fascination with advice-column culture and parse the difference between seeking wise counsel from trusted friends and looking for quick answers from the Internet hive mind. Join us!

LINKS MENTIONED:

  • New York Times Ask the Ethicist is a current advice column that considers readers’ ethical quandaries.
  • Here’s a link to Megan Leahy’s On Parenting Advice Column with The Washington Post.
  • Our Facebook Mom Hour Listener Community is a supportive place to crowd source (if that is your thing!)
  • More Than Mom: Meagan & Sarah As Kids And Teens is a good pair to today’s episode if you missed it earlier this summer.
