fatherly advice
Pop's life lessons
Fatherly advice is guidance offered with the protective, experienced tone associated with fathers counseling their children.
It typically concerns major life decisions—career, relationships, money, character: He gave me some fatherly advice about not burning bridges.
The phrase can describe advice from any older man, not just one's actual father, and sometimes carries a slightly patronizing edge.
