Advice 4 The Living
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!

Final Episode, Kayla’s Poem: Freedom
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This is a poem that I wrote a while ago called Freedom. Um, and I just wanna say that if you're listening to this, I wasn't planning on sharing it, so I might be here, I might be somewhere in the universe, who knows, but um it's here nonetheless to share, so um I'm gonna go ahead and record it, but it it it's emotional for me, but not in like a heartbreaking, sad way. It brings me a lot of comfort and a lot of peace, and I hope it can do that for anybody listening. I hope that it brings you peace, and I hope that um you know it applies in so many situations, whatever you're struggling with, whether it be addiction or grief or illness or just any of it. So I'm gonna stop rambling and go ahead and read my poem that I wrote again. It's called Freedom, so here we go. If I were to die today, promise me you'd dance on my grave, for I'd finally know freedom. Freedom isn't democracy or speeding down the road. Freedom is your health and the chance to grow old. Freedom isn't travel nor all the money that there is. Freedom is the love of generations of kids. So here on earth the real truth is freedom is neither yours nor mine. Freedom is divine and freedom is alive. So if I were to die today, promise me you'd dance on my grave, for I have never been more free in the heaven of the God who chose to save me. Thank you for listening. If you've listened. Otherwise, this is just for myself, so all the other rambling doesn't matter.
