On This Week's Feedback Friday:

• You're a military servicemember just years from retirement, recently diagnosed with Bipolar II — and your depressive episodes have brought you dangerously close to the edge. But disclosing your diagnosis could torpedo your pension and career. How do you stay alive without blowing up the only stability you've ever built?
• Over 20 years ago, your partner cheated, then slapped you with a restraining order that's kept you from your son ever since — and a physical disability has made fighting back in court nearly impossible. Now your kid's an adult, and you're wondering: is there finally a path back to him?
• You left a decorated police career after losing a close friend, pivoted to IT — and then overheard your girlfriend tell a friend she'd find a "more successful" man if you couldn't bankroll her lifestyle. Now you're thriving professionally but frozen when it comes to approaching women. What's really behind the fear that you'll never be enough?
• Recommendation of the Week: Using AI to manage healthcare admin. Gabe shares how he used AI to navigate the overwhelming logistics of his mom's health crisis — coordinating appointments, summarizing test results, and organizing notes for doctors — and makes the case that it's a gamechanger for anyone wading through a complicated medical situation.
• A Gen Z listener pushes back on Jordan and Gabe's earlier advice about a Millennial worker who refused to check email on weekends — arguing that "boundaries" reflect shifting generational values, not a "loser mentality." But does reframing entitlement as self-care actually hold up under scrutiny?
