Girls season 4 has sought advice from friends, family, and therapists. But sometimes the best advice comes from the least likely source. How can Mimi Rose help you?

Mimi Rose’s arrival set Hannah on a new trajectory after Iowa, one that did not involve a relationship with Adam. Girls season 4 sent Hannah to Iowa, then back to New York, then out into the world of private school subbing. But for all the uncertainty in her life, she received a ray of guiding light last week after being stuck with Mimi Rose following a hit and run.

OK, Mimi Rose may be a little flighty, a bit odd, but she helped Hannah come to terms with where she is in her life creatively and personally. By offering to bargain a smooth transition of custody, she challenged Hannah to confront her feelings for Adam. Writing a beautiful poem at the drop of a hat forced Hannah to look at her own creativity.

We took that seemingly scattered train of thought that helped Hannah and put it in perspective for other viewers. See if any of Mimi Rose’s advice can help you.

Keep changing until you find your comfort zone

Is there anything Mimi Rose has not dabbled in? She is a visual artist who is also writing a book and constantly creating new projects until something sticks. Mimi Rose treats life like a spaghetti test. Let’s explain. If you throw spaghetti on the ceiling it will stick when it is done. Mimi Rose’s floor is covered with a bit of spaghetti, one strand that looks oddly like an “Ask My Name” art exhibit.

At first Hannah finds Mimi Rose as a woman who doesn’t even try and has instant success in the art world. But in reality, Mimi Rose is throwing her name into a wide variety of hats hoping to find one area that speaks to her creative energy. Focus too narrowly and you may be closing yourself off to opportunities that lurk right outside your peripheral sight line.

Throw something new into the mix every now and then

Trying a bunch of new things until one sticks is great, but what happens when you suddenly become too comfortable. Succumbing to boredom creates boring people. Hannah admits to Mimi Rose that she feels resigned to a life of normality after dropping out of graduate school. Normal does not appeal to the girl who still has plenty of firsts to knock off her bucket list.

Solution: Mix it up! Mimi Rose dated Ace, a guy from her world. In the arts, completely resigned to spending his life with her, same parties, same life night after night. But then Adam came along. He is not into being a part of scene, he is interested in the odd ball persona that Mimi Rose exhibits, and he is certainly not Ace. Hannah may not be channeling extremes in this area, but taking a job as a substitute is certainly a good first step for her anything-but-normal future.

Insane hypotheticals help you find out what you really want

In a rut? Well imagine the weirdest possible outcome can help you come back to face your dilemma head on. Mimi Rose wants to get to the core of Hannah’s feelings for Adam. After all, she came in and swept him up in her whirlwind when he was in an odd transition from leaving Hannah to actually telling Hannah he left her. Provoking Hannah by offering to initiate a transition of custody from Mimi Rose to Hannah sparks her to take her first mature look at what she wants from her romantic life.

So the next time you are not sure what to do about a problem in your life, channel Mimi Rose and remember, the weirder, the better.

When the going gets tough, hit the bar

When all else fails and you simply can’t talk or think anymore… Bottoms up!
