Submission for Ask Mandee

Pull Up a Chair. Let's Talk.

Got something on your mind?

Maybe you're navigating a friendship that's starting to feel a little one-sided. Trying to figure out whether it's time to leave that job. Dating again after a divorce and wondering what in the fresh hell is going on out here. Setting boundaries with family. Starting over. Questioning yourself. Or standing at a crossroads wondering which version of you gets to make the next decision.

Whatever it is, bring it here.

Ask Mandee is your chance to ask for a little perspective from someone who will give you compassion, encouragement, and the truth (even when the truth needs a little seasoning). You bring the question. I'll bring the love, the perspective, and occasionally the side-eye.

What should I call you? Use your first name, initials, a nickname, or make something up entirely. “Tired in Texas” is absolutely acceptable.

What's on your mind? Tell me what's happening. Give me enough context to understand the situation, but please leave out full names and identifying details about other people.

What's the question you want Mandee to answer? When you strip away all the details, what do you really want advice about?

Have you already tried anything to resolve the situation?
Had the conversation? Set the boundary? Asked for help? Blocked somebody and then unblocked them? Tell me what you've already tried. This helps me avoid giving advice that you've already attempted.

By submitting this form, you give Amanda Chambers / Life After the Plot Twist permission to consider your question for publication and, if selected, to edit it for length, clarity, grammar, and anonymity while preserving the heart of your situation.

Please leave out full names, addresses, workplaces, schools, social media handles, or other details that could unnecessarily identify another person.

Ask Mandee offers personal perspective, encouragement, and general advice for informational and entertainment purposes. It is not a substitute for professional medical, mental health, legal, financial, or other professional advice.

Submission does not guarantee publication or a personal response.

I have read and agree to the terms above.
