From one soul on a healing journey to another, The Advice My Friends Ignored Podcast (formerly the SAME podcast) is your wellness sanctuary. Hosted by Audrey Brothers, this podcast dives deep into raw, personal experiences and expert insights on topics such as relationships, nervous system regulation, psychedelics, neuroscience, spiritual growth, and everything in between. In each episode, Audrey and her guests offer wisdom to reframe your mindset, build unshakeable resilience, unlearn and let go of what's holding you back, and return home to yourself.
Why you can’t stop comparing yourself to others (and what to do instead)
In today's episode of Advice My Friends Ignored, Audrey dives into why comparison isn’t something you can just “stop doing.”
She explores the primal reasons your brain is wired for it and how it constantly scans, ranks, and tries to figure out where you stand in society, all to keep you safe and chosen.
But what most people don’t realize is… every time you get pulled into comparison, there’s a cost.
And the cost is you.
In this episode, she breaks down why comparison happens, what it’s actually protecting you from, and why trying to “think your way out of it” usually keeps you stuck.
Audrey talks about how to step out of the loop, by sharing personal stories, advice she gives clients, and real-time shifts you can make in the moment when you notice that voice of comparison to help you come back to yourself and your own happiness.

The power of being alone (and actually enjoying it)
In today's episode of Advice My Friends Ignored, Audrey talks about the fear of being alone and why it’s not actually about being alone at all.
For many of us, alone time doesn’t just feel like solitude… it feels like rejection, loneliness, or even judgment. And because of that, we avoid it, not realizing how much it disconnects us from ourselves and our external relationships.
Audrey shares her own experiences with solo travel, spending intentional time alone, and how creating space from others (even in her current relationship) can actually deepen connection, and build confidence, safety, and self-trust.
This episode is about learning how to feel safe in your own presence and realizing that you might actually really like yourself and your own company.

Why you can’t let go (even when you know you should)
In today's episode of Advice My Friends Ignored, Audrey talks about something we don’t hear enough when it comes to letting go...
It’s not just emotional… It’s somatic.
Your nervous system is wired to choose what feels safe and familiar, even if it’s no longer good for you. And that’s why letting go can feel so hard. It's not because you don’t know what to do, but because your body doesn’t feel safe doing it.
Audrey shares her experience of leaving an 8-year relationship, and what that actually looked like for her — the fear, the attachment, the time it took, and the ways her system clung to something that no longer aligned because it felt like safety.
She also talks about the nuance of relationships — how sometimes it’s not about leaving, but about looking at yourself and the ways you might be abandoning yourself within the connection. She shares a story about a friend who thought she needed to leave, but instead chose to show up differently, and how that changed everything.
And beyond relationships, this conversation extends into the habits and patterns we hold onto every day, like the ways we avoid, distract, or numb, not because we want to stay stuck, but because it’s familiar.
This episode is a reminder that letting go takes time, self-awareness, and most importantly, safety.
