It’s interesting. I do these interviews about my job, and I’m like, “Well, I just follow my husband wherever he goes.”I had been wanting to get back into writing advice ever since I wrote “Dear Prudence” back in 2022. It was just a fantastic experience for me, and it felt like a nice continuation of the work I had been doing for Elle writing my column.
The books had a big reach, but that’s got a longer tail. My columns for Elle would go viral, but that’s a thing that kind of exists on the internet alone. This, because it’s in the newspaper, and there are hundreds of newspapers, it almost feels like it is stepping into a whole different world.Advice isn’t a prescription. It isn’t going to the doctor. So, I’m not walking around with a pair of reading glasses and a prescription pad telling people what to do.
I think the imposter syndrome is helpful in this context because it reminds me to approach people’s questions with humility. Even if someone was like, “I need advice about how to get a nationally syndicated column,” I would be like, “I am not an expert on that.” I’m so curious about people. And the flip side of that is that I am deeply nosy. That’s where everything comes from. And I’m very interested in story.
