Dear Life Kit: How much advice is too much advice?

In this Dear Life Kit episode, hosts address three listener questions: when it's okay to push a friend to do something they're avoiding, how to handle a partner's boundary, and whether couples need to share the same attitude toward junk food. Drawing on NPR's archive of expert advice, they unpack each dilemma with practical communication strategies.
