What's your problem?

Dear Tiff is returning to your inboxes soon

Welcome new subscribers! There’s been a lot of you since my last post about feeling like I’m always in trouble and I’m thrilled to have you here. My agony aunt column is returning soon. Scroll on for past versions and please send any problems you have - I’m HERE FOR THEM. Right now I’m struggling with our clocks going back here in the UK and it being pitch black at 4.30pm. I want to crawl into bed until summertime. But before I do that, here’s previous problems that have been sent to Agony Tiff (that’s me)…

Dear Tiff: How can I better manage financial differences between friends?

I'm a 31-year-old single woman living in a house share and my friends have bought property and I feel like I'm in an alternate universe

Dear Tiff: Should I fire my client?

They're stressing me out, but I feel like I shouldn't walk away from stable income when everything feels so uncertain

Dear Tiff: Should I lend my friend money for therapy?

I really want to help her, but by acknowledging the financial disparity between us am I massively overstepping a boundary?

Dear Tiff: I'm stuck

Why can't I apply focus to my romantic and work lives when I want to make a change?

Dear Tiff: Am I a bad friend?

I spend a lot of time worrying about how much I've drifted apart from friends I used to be close to years ago

Dear Tiff: I'm sooo unhappy in my job

How do I 'hang in there' until I’m ready to move on?

Dear Tiff: How do I rebuild my social life after a break up?

I'm missing the sort of friends who feel like family. The weekends feel lonelier for sure.

So what do you think? Can I help you out with something? Reply to this email or email me at tiffanyphilippou@substack.com. I’m a trained life coach and I write about work, relationships, dating, single life, friendships and all the messiness of life.

So if you’re wondering… Should I tell my friend I love them? (Probably not) Should I leave my relationship? (Probably) Struggling with feeling different from your friends as your lives diverge? (Been there) or do you hate how your boyfriend eats, despise your mother in-law or are you paranoid that everyone in your pottery class hates you? Then write to me. I’ll help bring some clarity (and truth bombs) to the situation. Your identity will be protected. I can’t wait to hear from you and thank you in advance! 

With love,

Tiff x
