How do I ask for an informational chat? (update)

A friend suggested informational chats and I do not know how to ask. I have been trying to stay organised about it. I worry about bothering people. What did you ask?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 8 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

I asked what they wish they had known at my stage. People enjoy answering that.
