A Wickedly Honest Advice Column, Because Sugar Coating is for Cupcakes

After being so kind to people who weren't as kind to me most of my life I'm finally learning to be kind to myself first and be my own best friend but I still overthink and feel bad when I put up boundaries. Any advice?

I’m really stressed out at work. I just got a promotion, YAY, but I feel like an imposter. How do I get my colleagues to respect me and how do I learn to trust myself?

I pretend im someone im not,i pretend im emotionless and cold when im the opposite. But in a way i feel like im doing it to protect myself. Thoughts?

I want to help people as much as i can but i always get screwed over in some way, what are some ways i can still be generous but also protect my heart more!

Middle school is over. High school hasn’t started. It’s summer, and I thought I’d feel free—but mostly I feel weird. Like I’m in this big pause. My friends are changing. Everything is. Who will I even be in the fall?




I have 2 questions for you.
1. There's a lot of drama in my mermaid community and I'm being vilanized, when in fact another person is the real problem. Do I come out and say it, or do tell them all to F off? Any advice?
2. I've been feeling really down and have zero self esteem lately. Do you have any advice on how to feel better about myself and my body image?



Katherine, since you’ve been around the world I was wondering if you could recommend a killer vacation destination!

I’ve wanted to be an actress for as long as I can remember, but I let the constant fear of not being good enough get in my way…still to this day.

Katherine, I need your advice. I fell hard for someone who made me feel things I’ve never felt before. I don’t even know if he ever felt the same way, and we haven’t talked in months… but I can’t stop thinking about him. How do you move on when it still hurts this much—even when you don’t have closure?

I can’t remember the last time I had a conversation with myself that wasn’t just me stress-crying in the shower. Help me figure out self-care and time management before I start scheduling my breakdowns like meetings!


Hello Katherine. I hope this letter finds you well. How do you deal with life,when it has you all down in the dumps. Unfortunately I am not a vampire and can’t turn my humanity switch off.


Dear Katherine, I’ve always been afraid to take up space. I let others shine because I think they made need it more. How do I let go of the burden of worrying of how other feel towards me, good or bad?
