And just as a preview, the side I suggest you choose is your side.<br> <br> Cassy Joy: Welcome back everybody! Thank you for joining me again on the Fed and Fit podcast. Today is episode number 50! 50 that’s so cool! It reminds me of the SNL skit; “I’m 50! 50 years old!”<br> <br> Well today we are going to talk about something that has kind of been a burr in my saddle for a little while. If you can hear that orchestra of barking dogs in the background {laughs} we are puppy sitting once more for my whole family. There are 6 of them, so that’s 24 little footies, and 6 sweet little faces I get to kiss.<br> <br> Some advice I had gotten, kind of in line with today’s episode. We’re talking all about advice, but some of the advice I got was that people really liked the episodes where I just kind of wing it and talk about things that are on my mind instead of silencing myself off in my little home studio, I am just going to talk to you from home because we’re cooking, and this is real life, and this is just a snap shot, dropping by to kind of share some of my thoughts with you. So that’s what I’m going to do; it’s a lot easier, and if y’all enjoy it more, then by golly I will meet you there.<br> <br> So, the burr in my saddle that I want to talk about is good advice versus good advice. There is no shortage of advice givers and pieces of advice out there in the world. Myself being one of them, of course. How in the world are we supposed to navigate this enormous sea of pieces of advice? Everybody conflicts with everybody, they all stand on their own island. Again, myself being one of them; projecting our thoughts and what we think of the world and what works for us, and we make these blanket statements like, “there’s no other options for you to consider! It’d be ridiculous if you considered any other lifestyle!” Or path to health and wellbeing, or path to starting a business, or way to have a relationship, how to raise a baby. There’s an endless supply of advice, it all contradicts, and how the heck are we supposed to choose?<br> <br> I just kind of want to pull back and talk about some of that right now. Especially with the New Year rolling around; there was a lot of good advice out there, and they all disagreed with each other. But there was a lot of advice on whether or not you should start a New Year Resolution. And at the end of the day, it can be really confusing if you don’t think that everybody, all the advice givers, if they don’t sit down and put their heads together or come up with a consensus, or say pointedly that they do agree with somebody or they don’t agree with somebody. It’s difficult as a consumer of advice to figure out where does all of this line up? Did somebody who say “don’t have a New Year Resolution”, did they consider all of these other possible benefits of having one?<br> <br> So it can be pretty confusing and overwhelming, and I think where I’m coming from in this business is I’m trying to give advice, and I’m speaking from what works for me, and I’m speaking from the heart, and I’m speaking from the feedback that you guys give me. What resonates with me; what you really enjoy, and what inspires you. So I use that, and I roll it all up with my personal experiences; I roll that in with all of my continued education,
