"Thank you so very much for your advice/opinion that I neither asked for nor care to hear." When someone offers you unsolicited advice, do you just want to punch them in the face? Does it feel like a sucker punch? Do you listen with an open mind and an open heart? Are you appreciative or resentful? This week Katie and Nora talk unsolicited advice: Is it a bad thing? Are we guilty ourselves? What's the motivation of the offerer? Should we/the receiver be open to other's thoughts? This is a fun one, Blazer Nation. And if nothing else, always remember, "opinions are like a*&holes - everybody's got one."
As always, we want to hear from gorgeous YOU!! What is the best unsolicited advice you've ever received? The worst?? How do you handle OPOs (other peoples' opinions)??
