Description

Greetings, I’ve been told I am good at understanding, lending clarity, and dispensing advice on life, living, inter-personal relationships, understanding animals, or simply giving tips that may help you in the everyday. I’m not a licensed professional, but someone who’s lived a long life and been amongst different people from many cultures and socio-economic strata. I’ve helped friends with marital and relationship advice/understanding, helped one who was a 10 yr alcoholic get sober and into a better job and happier life, and another from realizing he didn’t actually have to become a girl (he felt he’d find more acceptance as one and had started taking hormones), but understand that being a nerdy gamer guy was just a different kind of guy than the jock stereotype—he grew up in a rural area—because different kinds of guys exist. He’s also far happier, got a better job, and is more confident and secure in who he is as a person, not just his gender. All THAT said, I’d like to see if I can help generate a bit of extra income for myself by helping people out and listening, talking, or giving a fresh perspective on something. Maybe you just want me to read you Charlotte’s Web? And yes, I can discuss the classics as well: weaving, warfare, politics, and lack of societal wisdom. I like to keep things simple and straightforward, so here’s how I work: - for a 65 minute call, I charge 20 for a new client - if you’d like to continue, its $25 for any hours after that - you may or may not give your name, or keep anonymous, but for accuracy and truth, I record all calls - doing that protects me, ensuring I am providing/discussing the topic you chose - nothing is shared unless you want it to be - once we’ve agreed on a day/time, I’ll call you. The first 5 mins is to allow for introductions, verification of topic discussion, and payment confirmation via PayPal - if you or I don’t wish to continue anytime within the 5 minute intro, you’re not obligated, and we go on with our lives - I don’t suffer fools, so please keep that in mind: courtesy (or lack thereof) is a 2 way street - I set a 65 minute timer upon pickup, and you’re not obligated to any further contact beyond the first 20 dollar call you pay for - if you did want me to read to you for an hour, that would be 40 the first hour, 50 after, because it’s more taxing for me - I will not ask you to share any personal, private, or financial information I take pride in my abilities to listen, understand, and advise. And I’ve noticed there are more people out there since the pandemic began who don’t feel heard and just want someone to talk to. I’m politically independent, came from a blue collar middle class upbringing in the Hermosa neighborhood of Chicago on the West side. I’m a born and raised Chicagoan who rode the “green limousine” throughout my school years, and believe that family, upbringing, good values, and self accountability are the MOST important things anyone from any background needs to be successful. And that is a term I do not narrowly define by financial success or material goods. So, give me a try if you’d like.
