Advice Your Friends Really Don't Need Right Now

Advice is something all of us want at some point in our lives. Good advice at the right time can be an amazing blessing. However, if the timing is bad, your advice may be doing more harm than good. In this episode, we unpack some very untimely advice that is given when people really don't want to hear it.
