931: Trust is Twisted by Thirsty Therapist Resisted | Feedback Friday Dec 08, 2023

Show notes

You distanced yourself from a randy shrink after his attempt at a psychia-tryst. How do you ensure he's not harming others? Welcome to Feedback Friday!

And in case you didn't already know it, Jordan Harbinger (@JordanHarbinger) and Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) banter and take your comments and questions for Feedback Friday right here every week! If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at friday@jordanharbinger.com. Now let's dive in!

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:

You distanced yourself from a randy shrink after his attempt at a romantic psychia-tryst. Now how do you ensure sure he's not similarly betraying the trust of others? [Thanks to clinical psychologist Dr. Erin Margolis for helping us with this one!]
Is it worth it to try to convince your half-batty, Zionist mother in Israel to come back to the States when she firmly doesn't want to — especially when you both would be somewhat miserable with each other?
Your girlfriend still lives with her emotionally abusive ex and their eight-year-old child, and she refuses your offer of financial assistance that would allow her to remove herself from this situation. Should you even be considering this a relationship?
Should you continue discouraging your artist boyfriend from getting involved with NFT promoters who want to "help" him sell his work? This blockchain thing's all a scam, right?
You're a teenager who's hardly hanging on after the loss of your father to alcoholism. You're a diagnosed autist floating between numbness and sheer sadness, but you don't trust therapy and there's no relief in sight. What can you do?
A reminder from our very own audio engineer Jason Sanderson, who recently suffered the loss of his own father: Reach out to the ones you love today! It could be an email, a letter, a text message, a phone call — whatever form of communication you choose, take a moment to tell the people you care about what they mean to you!

930: Morgan Housel | The Power of Preparation Over Prediction Dec 07, 2023

Show notes

If we can't predict the future, how can we prepare for a future in which we'll thrive? We consult Same As Ever author Morgan Housel for answers!

Changes are exciting and novel, but most human behavior patterns are consistent over generations.
The importance of preparedness over prediction.
Why Morgan believes the first rule of happiness is low expectations.
The dangers of lifestyle creep and comparison (and the early epiphany that broke Morgan free from playing this losing game).
And much more...

928: Whisper or Withhold Stepson's Paternity Untold? | Feedback Friday Dec 01, 2023

Show notes

Your stepson doesn't know your late husband wasn't his real father. Is it your place to clue him in against his mother's wishes? Welcome to Feedback Friday!

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:

Your adult stepson doesn't know your late husband wasn't his biological father. Is it your place to clue him in against his mother's wishes? [Thanks to licensed marriage and family therapist Nancy Yen for helping us with this one!]
You're deeply in love with someone who professes the same toward you, but a prior history of abuse makes her skittish about intimacy. How do you support her through these times while protecting yourself from being hurt every time she pushes you away?
You and your cancer-battling wife are overjoyed to have a new child, but you sure could use a break from the incessant interference of your intense in-laws. How do you get them off your back and protect your family from their destructively overprotective tendencies?
Should you pursue an implied job with your wishy-washy in-laws, or take their poor communication skills as a sign that maybe you're better off without taking them on as co-workers?
Want clarification about how woolly mammoths might once again walk the earth? Here are some updates from our recent guest Ben Lamm!

926: Is Compassion Apt for Abusive Ex, Kneecapped? | Feedback Friday Nov 24, 2023

Show notes

Your abusive ex was grievously injured by his now-new ex for cheating. Should you visit him in hospital or let him suffer alone? Welcome to Feedback Friday!

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:

Your abusive ex was grievously injured by his now-new ex for cheating. Should you visit him in hospital or let him suffer alone?
Are "friends" who endlessly rib you for being single and omit you from the group chat they think you don't know about worth your time? They certainly aren't helping you feel less lonely.
You were conscripted to train the person who was hired for the job you covet, while your boss had the gall to tell you you haven't "suffered" enough to fill those shoes yet. How insulted should you be?
You've identified as a badass, hard-working nurse for so long that you don't know how to be a different kind of person in your new line of work. How do you find fulfillment on this new path?
Samantha Woll: Thankful to have known her. May her memory be a blessing.

923: She's Losing Sleep Over a Dangerous Creep | Feedback Friday Nov 17, 2023

Show notes

A stalker who suffers from schizophrenia has your neighbor in fear for her life, and law enforcement can't do much about it. Welcome to Feedback Friday!

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:

A stalker who suffers from schizophrenia has your neighbor in constant fear for her life, and law enforcement can't (or won't) do much about it. How can you help her stay safe?
After enduring multiple incidents of wildly inappropriate commentary and behavior from faculty members and students over the past few years, you made the heart-wrenching decision to resign from your teaching position. In retrospect, you're wondering: were you forced out, or did you overreact? Do you have legal recourse? [Thanks to school district in-house counsel Neil Rombardo for helping us with this one!]
Your manipulative ex-wife made the weird choice to move in with the next-door neighbor after an acrimonious split, and it's really cramped the style of your new, otherwise healthy relationship. What gives, and what can you do to alleviate this awkwardly hostile situation?
As a high-achieving people-pleaser, you're looking for a boss who won't squeeze you for maximum work at minimum pay. Your search has attracted the attention of "coaches" who promise to help you secure better employment, but how can you separate the straight shooters from the shysters?
With so many podcasts, books, and other sources of information easily available these days, how do we sort through it all without getting overwhelmed?
