The logo for Embodied, which features a person with brown skin wearing yellow pants, a white shirt and white glasses pulling back a starry curtain of the silhouette of a person that is roughly twice as large as the person in yellow pants. The word "Embodied" is at the top with the WUNC logo directly underneath it and the PRX logo in the bottom righthand corner of the illustration. All of the text is in white, and the background of the illustration is light blue.

A cartoon-style illustration featuring a wooden stand with the words 'ADVICE' written on a sign at the top. Below, a smaller sign reads 'ADVICE - $0.50, GOOD ADVICE - $2.00.' The scene is set in a grassy field with a bright blue sky and a small butterfly flying nearby. The word 'Embodied' is prominently displayed in large letters at the top of the illustration.

If 2025 is the year you’re hoping to become known for giving great advice, Embodied is here to give you the tools to start the year off strong.

Host Anita Rao talks to someone who has made a career of helping people make their lives better: Meghan Keane, the founder of NPR's Life Kit and author of “Party of One: Be Your Own Best Life Partner.” Anita talks with Meghan about finding the right experts when giving advice to a large audience and knowing when it's the moment to listen. Meghan also gets into her personal journey towards striking the balance between overthinking, venting and actually getting to the root of a problem.

Finally, she sits in the hot seat to answer some big questions from our listeners as we head into the New Year. Happy 2025!

Thanks to Gretchen, Nick and Daniel for contributing to this episode. We appreciate you!
