On This Week's Feedback Friday:
- As detailed on episode 1162, you transitioned from sex work, opened yourself to genuine vulnerability, and started dating a much younger Chinese grad student in Japan. She seemed perfect at first — loving, accepting, kind — but red flags started appearing. How did this experiment in radical vulnerability turn out?
- Your new boss is an award-winning academic genius who's destroying your workplace with delusional AI schemes, forcing everyone back to the office, and trying to rebrand 9/11. For some reason, he "likes" you enough to put you on all his committees. How do you work with a narcissistic visionary who won't listen to reason?
- You're great at connecting with people but keep hiding your true feelings until relationships fall apart. You just broke up with someone after two years because of dealbreakers you discussed but never enforced. When's the right time to speak up about what really matters to you?
- Recommendation of the Week: Cotopaxi Allpa Hip Pack
- How do you distill your life experience, knowledge, and wisdom into advice your surly, hormonal teenaged son can absorb (and overcome the dread of messing it all up)?
