Notes From Off Center: What is a “Lifestyle Expert” Anyway?

  • Melissa · 2 years ago
    So true, so true. I don't watch these shows so I never what the latest "thing" is....funny how I don't miss it at all! I just go about my life in pleasant ignorance that there is anyone out there who thinks I should write my Thank Yous differently and strangely enough I don't get stressed during thr holidays.

    How's the lyme?

    Your comment about a "thought expert" is funny, but sadly that's how Rush Limbaugh bills himself, as one who can tell the masses what to think.

    On a recent episode of "Tim Gunn's Guide to Style" (hey, I'm gay, so I'm required to watch Bravo TV) they had a "lifestyle coach" helping a client come to terms with the fact that she has a large scar on her leg. He basically did a very shallow version of "pop psychology" using basketball hoops. I'm not making this up...
