1084: Dad's Kindness Flows But Her Instability Grows | Feedback Friday
Fri, 29 Nov 2024
Your sister-in-law's behavior grows more erratic while your father keeps extending lifelines. When does compassion become complicity? It's 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 [email protected]. Now let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: Your father has been extraordinarily generous in supporting your brother and his new wife, who's displaying increasingly erratic behavior — from throwing tantrums to making unusual demands. Now she's facing legal troubles, and your father's considering bailing her out again. How do you help him see that sometimes caring means taking a step back? You're a musician who's spent decades building an independent career, and your former mentor — once supportive but now oddly competitive — seems fixated on diminishing your achievements and claiming credit for your work. He's even referenced your medical condition in a song title. How do you handle this personally hurtful dynamic on a professional level? You're torn between honoring a $40,000 tuition repayment agreement with your current employer and accepting your dream job in Europe working on climate change solutions. As you approach 30, time feels precious, but so does financial stability. What price can you put on following your dreams? Your partner demands specific, scripted responses during arguments — requiring exact word choices and precise acknowledgments of past behaviors. While charming in public, they become controlling and threatening in private. How do you distinguish between reasonable needs and manipulation? Recommendation of the Week: Sour Grapes Following your mother's unexpected passing, you're seeking ways to honor her remarkable 45-year journey with rheumatoid arthritis and her impact on countless lives through charity work. How can small, meaningful actions create ripples of positive change in her memory? Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us? Drop us a line at [email protected]!

Welcome to Feedback Friday. I'm your host, Jordan Harbinger. As always, I'm here with Feedback Friday producer, the fair trade organic lip balm, keeping these chops of life advice nice and moisturized, Gabriel Mizrahi. What are those lip balms you find in your pants pocket like months later and you're like, oh, cool, bonus lip balm. Exactly.
But, you know, maybe I should have gone with the lip balm you forget in your pocket and then run through the washing machine, staining all your other clothes with coconut oil and then debate whether to throw out. But then you're like, I'll just keep using it, even though it kind of tastes like Tide. Gabriel Mizrahi. Oh, I've done that. I've definitely done that. Yeah.
But that one doesn't hit the same, does it?
Not quite. On the Jordan Harbinger Show, we decode the stories, secrets, and skills of the world's most fascinating people and turn their wisdom into practical advice that you can use to impact your own life and those around you. Our mission is to help you become a better informed, more critical thinker.
During the week, we have long-form conversations with a variety of amazing folks from undercover agents and former jihadis, Fortune 500 CEOs, and rocket scientists. This week, we had the one and only Mike Rowe, host of Dirty Jobs and Somebody's Gotta Do It, and author of the new book, The Way I Heard It.
This is actually him interviewing me, and we discuss uncertainty, various social and economic issues, education, and a whole lot more. A bit of a reverse episode of the show in that respect. We also did a Skeptical Sunday last Sunday on food packaging.
