    Tell her that that is not good advice because we learn most things from someone else modeling. Tell her you value her thoughts but want more depth to them because this theory has been proven NOT to work.

    Unless it has a direct impact on you, ignore it.

    Say "I can't do what you say, because you haven't provided an example."
