Now let’s dive in!

On This Week’s Feedback Friday, We Discuss:

  • “Don’t rush…but hurry.” —Seth Godin
  • You’ve been deeply involved in an organization that’s brought you personal growth and success, but some have raised suspicions that it might be a cult. With expensive programs, controversial teachings, and an elitist hierarchy, you wonder if you’ve gained genuine wisdom or just been skillfully manipulated. What’s the truth behind this modern mystery?
  • You’re in an open marriage, but your husband’s relationship with another woman has crossed boundaries and is threatening your marital union. She’s moved in, turned him against you, and now you’re considering legal action. How can you address this situation and potentially save your relationship?
  • Your sister, who has epilepsy and cognitive disabilities, is turning 18 soon. Her father, your ex-stepfather, has been making questionable decisions about her care and education. How can you protect and support her as she transitions into adulthood? [Thanks to former child protection investigator Sara Couture for helping us with this one!]
  • You were adopted at birth and have always been curious about your biological parents. You’ve met your birth mother, but she’s hesitant to provide information about your birth father. How can you navigate the complex process of searching for your biological father while respecting everyone involved? [Many thanks to child welfare specialist Colleen Riddle for helping us here!]
  • Listener Pete Dinnella (who wrote to us on episode 995) has sadly left us. His wife Barbara shares the bittersweet details of his final days and we encourage anyone who wants to help her in the aftermath of this tragedy to contribute to their GoFundMe.
