Dear Prudence. Dear Prudence. Dear Prudence. Dear Prudence. Dear Prudy. do you think that I should contact him again?

Help.

Help.

Hi.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Welcome back to the Dear Prudence show once again. And as always, I am your host, Dear Prudence, also known as Mallory Orkberg.

With me in the studio this week is Justine D'Souza, but first, I just want to tell you all what's keeping me going this week, which is the numerous interviews that Johnny Weir and

Tara Lipinski have been giving together, particularly the one today for GQ, talking about the 13

suitcases each that they've been bringing for their many, many costume changes. There are a few

things in life that I enjoy more than reading interviews with weirdly

best friends who met at like a strange time in their lives and have sort of arranged their

entire lives around one another and are willing to sort of say anything in an interview

format because they both bring out the most like vivacious in one another and neither of them

has a good sense of editing each other. What I'm trying to say is these two remind me of my relationship with Nicole Cliff, and this is exactly the sort of interview I hope that the two of us can give in 20 years. Not because we're 20 years younger than the two of them, but because it's going to take at least 20 years for me to get 13 suitcases because right now I only have one and that's a long ways to go. So give me time

and soon I will be as glamorous as Johnny Weir. And then my advice will be all the better.

All right, this week in the studio we have Justine DeSuzza who works in social media for a nonprofit

and as a phone support counselor for a youth helpline.

She also enjoys performing in operas, musicals, and plays. And the reason she's our guest today is because a while back, she emailed me and asked to be on the show. And I said, why not? And now she's here. Hey, Justine, welcome. Thank you. I'm really excited to be here. I'm so excited that you could join us. Thank you again so much for saying something because that's often my favorite way to get somebody on the show is just hearing from somebody who feels like giving the world advice. I'll do my best. Okay. Well, I'm excited that you're here. I'm excited that you're willing to do your best. And let's just dive right in. I'm going to go ahead and read our very first letter. The subject is just got my health back, which is great, right? Like what a beautiful start. Someone has gotten their health back. It's already like off to a better start than many other podcasts we have done in the past. Dear Prudence, I'm a 48-year-old woman. After many years of unemployment due to ill health, I'm finally back in the past. Dear Prudence, I'm a 48-year-old woman. After many years of unemployment due to ill

health, I'm finally back in the workforce. While I'm now doing better and able to work, I do have a
